[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know that area of Austin, it’s wealthy sprawling suburbia.  If you want more character and city feel, move to Old Enfield, Clarksville, Old West Austin, South Congress, Barton Hills, Hyde Park, even parts of Lakeway/Westlake which are more suburban but closer to downtown.  God knows the only people who can afford to live in those areas are wealthy tech people now.  The downside is most of the tech offices are North of the city and even the reverse commute is awful on Mopac.

Most of the part of Austin dominated by tech  feels like San Jose to me—just a big morass of suburban sprawl.  It’s also pretty politically moderate—used to be more Republican until Trump.

The cool/liberal/funky part of Austin is very small and expensive to live in.  I went to UT for grad school and the transformation in full throws at that time.[/quote]

Exactly. I've lived in Austin and Silicon Valley. This move was like moving to Morgan Hill and complaining its boring and bland. It's too far from all the "cool" stuff and traffic is horrific if you need to be DT or north to Round Rock. But, if he'd done his research he would know that. He had no clue what he was getting himself and his family into and can only blame himself. But if you want the brand new house on a lot of land, that's where you would go.[/quote]
