Wrong. It might become less conservative than it was 20 years ago, but it will NEVER be like Austin from a liberal/conservative standpoint.

It should be noted that those two pics are taken from very different angles. Frost tower is a good bit to the right of that building to its left in the first pic, but is to the left of the same building in the second pic. That's not to downplay the development, but the first pic may not be showing some things that are already in the second pic.
First pic doesn't show Four Seasons which was definitely there in 2007. I know b/c that's where I stay when I'm there crushing it

There's a church on every damn street corner.

Maybe so. I hear the Knoxville area is the fastest growing area in the state of Tennessee.

It's great that Austin is booming and all, but that just shows why many people wouldn't want to live there. The overcrowding is insane. If you don't have a tech job or a position in a man industry that is well-represented there, then go to one of the many other well-off cities in the state.

Does Baton Rouge still have that Austin20 group or whatever it was called to try to emulate it better?

The Nashville metro is the #1 growing area in Tennessee
The Knoxville metro is #2.. but a distant 2. Metro Nashville's growth has been unreal.

Isn't that what Austin keeps telling us? I live in Houston and enjoy visiting Austin so I'm not hating. But Austin is the one pushing the weird agenda. I've seen the bumper stickers

I can't wrap my brain around the angle of that pic at all.

Never say never

it really is. Throw in surrounding counties like Rutherford, Wilson and Montgomery and it's insane.

Not entirely true.
I'm in a specialist part of commercial insurance that Austin's not known for (it is much more of a "Dallas"-type industry) and I do well.
My wife's not in Tech either and does super well.
What you are saying WAS a lot more true 15 years ago, but with the growth has come a much larger, more diverse economy. A lot of random industries are opening their Texas regional office here because they know it's attractive to top employees.
