After decades of explosive growth, Austin, Texas, in the 2010s was a victim of its own success. Lured by high-tech jobs and the city’s hip reputation, too many people were competing for too few homes. From 2010 to 2019, rents in Austin increased nearly 93%—more than in any other major American city. And home sale prices increased 82%, more than in any other metro area in Texas.
Sure, if you have absolutely no sense of scale or proportion, or are trying to magnify the smaller cause to fit your NIMBY and/or racist agenda.
I can tell you that more people equals more problems, I’m living that right now where I live.
