I think the bars were just a money grab. None of that stuff was there 15 to 20 years ago. It was something neat and different, but it's not like this was some old historic Austin district of bars that suddenly went vertical. They were old houses falling down that the owners cashed in on and decided to move out, and bars were able to move in once the zoning rules changed for the neighborhood. This was a temporary phenomenon. It's also a nightmare to navigate, so I'm not sure why anyone would want it to continue the way it was.
