The economic and real estate boom being seen in far East Austin can't be overstated, and we showed it off with drone videos and analysis at the East Austin Growth Summit in April.
It was an interesting time to host such an event. The centerpiece subject, Tesla, can be lauded for quickly growing into arguably the most impactful company ever seen in Central Texas, but then again Tesla just dropped one of the biggest hits ever to our economy: almost 2,700 local layoffs.
It's a stark example of the extreme ups and downs that can burden and bless an area growing as quick as the east side.
Below is some of our recent East Austin coverage — much of it was discussed at the growth summit.
