Umm, they have come. You do realize Austin's been among this nation's fastest growing cities for decades, right? You do realize that Austin's job market has been among the best in the nation for decades as well, right? Now obviously Houston and Dallas, being so much larger have much more office space, but you mention San Antonio, which as the numbers I posted above show, has substantially less office space than Austin.
