PBS ran a story on ‘The Unforeseen", a documentary by Laura Dunn about an embattled development near Barton Creek in Austin, Texas. The documentary is a film that tries to walk the line of remaining truthful and honest while opening a unique discussion regarding Austin real estate development.

Laura thought it was important to avoid painting one side as the "hero" versus the "villain". Although George W. Bush supported the developer of Barton Springs, she wanted to stay bipartisan in per depiction of the involved parties.

I wanted to take note of The Unforeseen because it seems wonderfully done and can help both current and future residents or developers understand our city and culture. Laura Dunn understood that Austin is a place where developers see the city as a place to be build lucrative projects while residents view Barton Springs and Austin as unique oasis’ in an urban setting where friends, families and neighbors can grow together.

See the City of Austin website on Barton Springs.
