[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to live in Austin and never even heard of the "suburb" he moved to.  I had to look it up and understood what happened here.  He moved to an exurban area.  You don't get that kind of land in the suburbs.  No wonder it was such culture shock.  Also the traffic out there on west 71 is awful.  When I used to drive out there, that section was a 2 lane road.  He should have just bit the bullet and moved into Austin proper but then it would have been much more expensive and probably would haven't still questioned his move.  He moved from San Francisco to an Austin exurban location.  Think about that.[/quote]

I posted this, let me also add this (probably more important).  People shouldn't be moving and uprooting their families just to buy big houses in other places - especially if you have kids.  Moving for work either for a job (if unemployed) or career advancement are things that make sense to uproot your family.  If you're doing it to buy a bigger house than you can afford in your current location then you're being really unreasonable.  I think a lot of people are under the impression that owning more, bigger, better stuff leads to happiness.  That just isn't the case.[/quote]
lol.. we did exactly that. Moved from expensive west coast city to the east coast to afford a bigger house, but the school district here is better than where we came from. But it's a metro area so not the exurbs like this guy moved to.  I would not have done that move.  And actually, we thought abou Austin, too.[/quote]
