When I first visited Austin in 1990 it had less than 500k people. Now it has over 1 million. It's been a boomtown for at least 30 years.“Austin is going to be the biggest boomtown America has seen in the last 50 years” Musk on Rogan.
I think I read somewhere a few years back that it's been the fastest growing (percentage wise) major US city for even longer.
The fact that it is already a great city is the under laying reason why Tesla ended up there. Elon actually said that Austin was where the employees wanted it. Very few places not on the coasts where techies will consider moving.
