That video didn't have a single person that wasn't white and young adult/middle aged. Maybe the hat guy is older, but still – diversity didn't seem a priority in the list of features. Maybe that's entirely representative of the demographics, just found it striking.

This is definitely true, but I spend too much time on HN and living in Austin and it definitely affects my views on my peers.

This was also my first thought as well. A truly beautiful place ruined, visually, by the refineries. Of course jobs are nice to have as well, and certainly more important than views to the locals.
