We are seeing a mass migration of ``Big Tech`` in to Austin. Houston remains the epicenter of ``Big Oil`` and some of the largest, most advanced medical facilities in the world. These industries bring with them massses of affluent professionals who are driving property value through the roof. This growth will be stiflied without rapid land development to support it.
