In August of 1970, a music venue opened on the corner of Barton Springs Road and South First in Austin, TX.

Yet this local eyesore would go on to change the identity of Austin, culturally, politically, artistically. And its reverberations would be felt far and wide, helping turn Austin into the Live Music Capital of the World. This is the story of how that happened.

Housing prices in Austin have exploded in the past decade, leading to a city that's not just unaffordable — but also highly segregated. None of this happened by accident. It's the result of decades of decisions about what — if anything — gets built in Austin and where. From a master plan to move Black and brown residents to one part of town, to fights over how to protect the environment, to an outdated land development code — all of these are pieces in a machine that's engineered Austin's housing market.MORE Host Audrey McGlinchy
