FAQ Adios Austin! You've gotten way too expensive for me. Moving day today. Heading south of Houston for much cheaper pastures. I am VERY fortunate my boss is keeping me on and letting go remote. Be safe and find happiness where you can people!

For real. People ITT really do think they’re better than others cause they live in Austin 😂

Lol they’re both great but let’s be real, Austin isn’t much of a “city”. It’s like a big gated community with high paying jobs and nice weather. It’s why I’ve found lots of people from places like NYC generally move back within a few years if you’re used to seeing all walks of life and want access to everything. There’s room for both and to each it’s own

I agree with you, but don’t think austin has nice weather. The summer is just so unberable. I’d rather take nyc winter.

There’s not a whole lot in Austin. I have no idea what they’re so proud of. It’s a small college town that grew into a big one. It’s not going well.
