I look forward to what will happen in a decade or two, but for now it is still hopelessly stuck in the suburban mindset.

I mean, I don't know. I've done the same with Daybreak and a lot of it really does feel complete. The area west of the temple is an absolute dream to walk through and enjoy life in the summer. The area between Soda Row and the TRAX station, for instance, is definitely still a work in progress. But once everything comes together, including the additional town centers that they have planned, I have faith that Daybreak will be a really great place overall.

Agree one million percent. I wish the District would have been built in Daybreak, but at a much more walkable and human scale.

Austin's Metrorail is commuter rail, not light rail. Quite a difference.
