One thing we have going for us that isn't present in a lot of other boom towns is that there's a lot of interest in Austin as more than a place to invest; people and corporations want to be a part of it, to identify with it, and as such they're more apt to invest in that which will benefit their own image and the quality of life for their employees, which leads to choices that are more likely to benefit the city as a whole. Fingers and toes crossed.

I went back to page 1 to remind myself what the OP was and saw this.
Miss him loads. The forum was more innocent back then.
