Buried decks wouldn't work very well b/c of water table. At least that's what friends who work in water in Austin used to say. Now...if you let that table drop far enough through drought...then that's a thought. We used to live in Cedar Park. Light rail was probably one of the most useless things ever done to Austin from 2002-2017 when we were there. The rail stopped running way too early in the evening to be useful for going out to Austin (which would be the only reason for suburbanites to go to downtown Austin, aside from 1-2 trips a year to look at the lights/etc).

I never understood this "I was here first, it's too expensive now, I'm gonna be homeless!" attitude. Get the f out and move to a cheaper place. Maybe I'm too white-collar and privileged about this but shouldn't one try to improve their situation instead of sliding further and further down the gutter? People who can't afford to rent so they end up living in their cars? How about you "drive your car out of state and go find some other place to settle down"? What's going to change if you keep living in a car? Are you magically going to get a raise at work that'll suddenly make everything OK? Sheesh.
