New book details how Austin , Texas , lost its “magic” thanks to poorly planned development run amok.
In “ Lost in Austin ,” out Tuesday , journalist Alex Hannaford details how spiking rents have sent development sprawling into the city’s ecologically sensitive hinterlands.
This trajectory from laid-back, compact college town to global city has hollowed out what made Austin grow, he contends.
Hannaford argues that Austin 's historic zoning is why it's the only fast growing city with declining Black population.
He says the city’s rising prices, in turn, have driven an exodus out onto the plains that surround Austin by those who can’t afford to pay half a million dollars — at absolute minimum — for a single-family home in decent condition.
As prices and traffic have swelled, so have heat and drought.
