It’s no secret that, in the aggregate, Austin has done exceptionally well economically in recent decades. It’s also no secret that the benefits of this overall prosperity have been unevenly distributed, to say the least. In recent decades, economic inequality has grown throughout the country, decreasing economic opportunity for millions of Americans.
