What the video expresses is how much more Austin is despite the growing skyline. Its so much more than that. For the folks who are saddened by all the new construction and demolitions around downtown and lament for the 'old days', what makes Austin such a great place to live was really never all about that. Businesses, venues, restaurants...they come and go. But the beauty and quality of life in Austin is displayed very nicely in the video and downtown is only part of the equation. How much of a part is up to the observer. For me, maybe 30%. Thanks for sharing.
