It definitely will. I had power lines across the street, not even on property line and it turned off buyers. No matter how many studies we showed that across street is not a safety issue, people would shy away. For a duplex, maybe an investor down the line wont care. But for a personal house, i learned the hard way it does.

@Kevin Kite wanted to check in - how are your turnkeys doing now?

@Christopher Gilbert, The google highrise is 29 floors in one of the most coveted blocks downtown. Imagine how many 6 figure salaries that holds. Austin won't shell out the tax incentives anymore. But that's because they no longer have to. If that's all companies cared about, Amazon would go fleece Detroit or Dayton Ohio and this thread would be a moot point.

Google just took up 3/4ths of the new tower on San Antonio street downtown, so not sure what you mean regarding 'not closing the deal on large employers'. Facebook has grown considerably on W6 as well. I could go on and on.

@Debra Grumbach  I'm in the tech industry, and I can tell you 100% that Austin has tons of tech. It's one of the hottest B2B, if not hottest, startup communities in the US. 

Amazon, EA, Apple, Facebook, Google, Arkane Studios, Homeaway, etc, are all ramping up their footprints in meaningful ways.

@Andrew Wong I do believe it is between Denver and Austin.   Austin's airport continues to improve, but their traffic situation is not improving, and will not improve, anytime in the foreseeable future.
