What a shameful, pathetic use of central Austin land. No density. No context of the surrounding city, as Kevin said. Nothing to make the city greater for it.
Instead we get a master planned community devoid of interconnection. This is a suburb development (MileStone is a suburban developer, see map below). The city planners really need to get their act together as more central parcels like this become available.
I suppose one good thing is that density is low so that the exclusion of public transportation connectivity won't impact the connecting streets as it could with dense, vertical development. Maybe they will have roaming golf carts to give the occupants located on the far end a ride to the community amenities.
Is it just me, or do "master planned communities" and "responsible urban development" seem to be in conflict.
