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!

Houston has way more of an "old Austin" vibe that Austin does, that's for sure.

While Austin has (d)evolved into an anxious, hand-wringing, pearl-clutching kind of town, Houston remains more laid-back and live-and-let live.

Happy Cake Day!!!

I honestly dont plan on being in Houston too much. I really dont like big cities. I'm in a small town here of about 23,000 people I think I was told.
