Absolutely not. I mean, it's got a long way to go. When you get to Snailbrook, when you drive either from Austin or from Bastrop Town, all of a sudden you start seeing these giant buildings. And these are factories for Elon Musk's companies. There's the SpaceX Starlink facility, which is going to be over a million square feet. There's these metal buildings for the Boring Company.

And then behind the boring company, behind this chain link fence that's obscured by these green slats, that's where the entire residence of the town is so far. There you'll find, you know, 15 or so gray and tan trailers, a little... pool, a gym, and it's mostly empty most of the time. Then there's the center of commerce. It's called Hyperloop Plaza.

That's got two different giant metal buildings, kind of like you'd house livestock in. One of them is where the stores are. That's where the boring bodega is. I described it as sort of a tiny Whole Foods. You could get drinks with adaptogens or the olive oil that everyone uses on Instagram. The squeeze bottle ones? The squeeze bottle ones. So there's also a pickleball court and a playground.

It also appears to be residential grade playground stuff, so something you'd buy at Walmart or Target. It's always broken, the locals were telling me. When I was there, a ladder going up one of the structures had been broken, and they put a two-by-four on it to kind of keep it together. There was a bolt coming out of another one, so it was really shaky.

You could shake the whole thing, and you'd get sunburned because there's no sunshade. There's a candy shop for some reason in addition to the bodega. as if you needed more snacks, his and hers barbershop. But I tried to get my hair cut, but it wasn't open any of the times I was there. And I tried to make an appointment online, and it said there were none available.

They're also building a pottery studio. This is an approximation of what I guess he thinks a town is like. There's going to be a doctor's office there, entertainment area, which is really just a couple of TVs and some Nintendo Wii's. And, you know, I just went and hung out in there. Are there people there? So not many, especially in the morning. Not many people.

It gets a little bit like slightly more trafficked around lunch and after work. As far as, you know, signs of life, not too many, at least not yet.

I mean, it's always hard to tell. Elon Musk and his companies would not talk to me. SpaceX declined to comment, and then Boring Company and X didn't respond to comments. Presumably, they are going to eventually build those 110 single-family homes that are not trailers.
