Formula 1 race, and now summer X Games too. Austin has grown WAY too big for its infrastructure, and poor planning. The city planners though it would be ideal to flood the downtown with thousands of high rise condos, yet built zero new roads to get people downtown. I design roads for a living, and every time a new road is proposed, all the liberal hippies come out in full force trying to save an endangered insect or whatever suites their cause.
oh yeah, does anyone know why the Sarge is moving to Austin?

It's true. I have driven in most every large city and Austin is a work of art when it comes to "how to create a traffic jam". First thing they learned was to build very short off ramps and dump them directly on to short surface streets with traffic lights, this then guarantees that traffic trying to leave a road will fill up the off ramp during one cycle of the stoplight, the following red light will stop cars as that line backs up onto the freeway. By the third cycle of the red light, the line of cars now reaches the previous exit, and whammo, complete grid lock. They couldn't have designed a better way to build a traffic jam.
If you were going from South Austin to North Austin, it was almost faster to go to Bastrop, then to Elgin, then back to Austin than it was to stay on the freeway. Then they built the toll way.
nope.
