Where did you hear this rumor? Austin's economy is running on all cylinders from everything I see and read. "Building" is a trailing indicator of a healthy economy, not a leading indicator. Building, in and of itself, cannot cause growth. There must first be a demand for those things being built. That demand is determined by job growth and other factors. > I’ve heard a rumor that much (over 60%) of the growth in greater Austin area is realted to building activities.
