Your response sounds like an exact echo of Austin's gripes from 5-10 years ago, and thus I think highlight the point of the article.

Sorry, but it's a losing battle. While some of us still like to say we are trying to "Keep Austin Weird", the fact is it's not really possible to keep it that weird when bare lot values for anything remotely central in Austin now go for over $500k.

Or Portland in the 80s and 90s.
