This feels like a contentless article. They gave a statistic and crafted a narrative based on one person’s experience, which leaves me with many more questions than answers.

Agreed, a very shallow article with a few personal opinions. A little breather for Austin proper may be a good thing, housing prices and rents have come down significantly from a few years ago. The infrastructure is presently a mess and will be such for the next few years, along with the airport expansion. But the surrounding areas are still growing quickly, and there is no shortage of interesting startups in the area. The one obvious thing the article misse is the weather, which simply is not for everyone.

Hence why one should never waste time clicking on links without numbers, specifically change in distribution of data (deciles/quintiles), or at least median.

If there are no numbers about the distribution, there can be no evidence of the article’s claim, hence it is useless and meant to evoke emotion.
