While I'm still in this weird, rah-rah mood: Joel Kotkin on Austin's secrets for economic success.
I do think Austin is nearly recession proof, despite the fact that we had a deep one just seven or eight years ago. It took a ginormous high-tech bubble and crash to do much to our economy.
One of the nice things about living in the state capital and hosting its largest university is that the rest of Texas works very hard to support us.
