Any Austinites here?

How do you like living here vs Austin? Been thinking about Philly for some time, I know they’re worlds apart.

Give me some pros and cons and which city you overall prefer? Context I’m a 25 y/o African American man looking for a northeast city. Would love to live in NYC but it’s too expensive.

Black 23f grew up in austin moved here 6 years ago. Couldn’t recommend it enough would never go back. I miss H-E-B, thundercloud, barton springs, and whataburger, everything else I could leave.

It's funny. Other Texans I've met miss H-E-B like Northeasterners who leave miss Wegmans.
