To be honest, we should be very wary of wholesale retrofitting. Pick a few nodes that an area should focus on to retrofit, and go all in on those areas.

For the Austin area, the historic center of Round Rock is really the only place that I think fits this model. One could argue that the eventuality of North Burnet does as well, but that's conceptually different as that is mostly new development as opposed to re-development. Also different is the corridor approach, which is mostly due to developmental overflow from downtown Austin proper.

San Antonio, on the other hand, has many areas where this kindof approach would work very well.
