This article mentions "hot cities" including Austin, which not too long ago was just another small eclectic city with steady growth. Once it grew large enough and provided the ingredients to hold it's own, industry wise, against other "hot cities" it became what it is today. Austin was just a little weird city in Texas when I grew up in Dallas, but now it's up there with the big boys. What this tells me is there are many Austin like cities out there waiting to be discovered and grow in a similar way. I believe, in large part, Austin's recent growth and success is attributed to the very problems presented in this article. As long as the economy keeps pushing in this direction, the more of these smaller cities will grow to compete.
