loan? cash...money...records, bitch! i wish all these poor people would sotp crynig about rent. if you slakcer losers made any significant cake doing what you love the way i do, i bet you wouldn't be sleeping on your friends' floors or in some shack on the east side. don't let being poor and unsuccessful justify your hatred of people who know how to get paid.

you people are freaking nuts. Do you know how much you have to make to even QUALIFY for a loan on a 300K condo?? Not to mention that they will probably be about 1200sqft - that's $250/square. Are you all daft?

We used to live on W. Alpine a few years ago and a pal called that development around there "the Villas at Expose." I hope they go with that name.

Expose is most definitely licking their lips.

Since when is it a great deal paying $250,000+ for a loft, I mean APARTMENT, in Austin? Although, folks living in this new development area will feel like the bull’s balls when they brag to friends about having the most expensive views of transvestite hookers cruising Congress Ave. And Expose isn’t moving anytime soon. Hell, its owner is probably doing a jig in front of city hall right now! Expose now has a built in clientele of yuppie pricks right across the street from his skin shack. What more could a business owner ask for? Next thing you know the City of Austin will allow developers to demolish music and art venues to construct buildings that no one will ever inhabit. And then someone will think building technology "campuses" near pristine spring feed rivers is a great idea. Sounds like the whole lot of you need to move back to California and New York, or whatever suck hole you escaped from. Ian

Think "trickle up". The people in nice apartments move up to these things; people in moderate apartments move up to nice ones; people in cardboard boxes move up to the moderate ones; and all of the sudden, there's an opening in a cardboard box with your name on it. Seriously, adding supply does work. Sometimes it takes a while to sort out, but nothing pisses me off more than people who oppose urban development because the bunch of new supply in buildings which cost a ton to build doesn't end up renting below market value so they can afford to move straight in. Yeah, there really are a ton of people who think this way.

With a development like this going in and development that's sure to follow, I'm guessing that Expose will be moving farther down South Congress in the not too distant future. I'm also guessing that my cheap rehearsal space at Million Dollar Sound is in jeopardy.

i agree, i think the prices are not bad at all. i may even consider one if they do not sell out in 5 minutes. just wondering who else is going to fill these, but more importantly, the more expesnive ones around soco and downtown. there is going to be al ot of space up for grabs.

300k for the highest end condo, seems like a bargain to me!
