The thing that bit Austin in the azz was the arrival of the high tech industry en masse. All projected roadway improvement designs done prior to the late 80's were done off of projected traffic counts made in the early to mid 70's. In those days I was one of the chumps stretching a traffic counter hose across a road trying to get data for some engineer back I. The office. There was no way the explosion of people moving here could have been predicted on the scale that it occurred. Which that explosion came a lot of different mindsets. These were the fringe groups who opposed any additional construction. The city reaping what they sowed!

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
