[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Austin is GREAT. The suburbs are nice, friendly people, good schools. Really a beautiful and interesting place to live- and so much good food! The bonus being that Texas is practically recession proof and jobs are just as plentiful as ever there. And no state income tax!

no state income tax, but they make up for it in real estate taxes.  The traffic in Austin if you live in the more affordable areas with "good schools" is miserable - they are pretty far from downtown.  There is really no decent option for public transportation.  Oh, and great jobs?  Trust me, we looked - it wasn't the jobs mecca you're making it out to be.  If you're a computer person, you're good - otherwise, the jobs are not as easy to come by.

You also couldn't pay me to live in any of the other Texas cities - it was Austin or bust for us.  We had narrowed our options to some of the higher end areas because we refused to live in a cookie cutter TX ranchers waaay out in the burbs - we wanted to be close to downtown, and possibly even in downtown.

And again, while Austin is a more liberal place, it is still TX - and all the insanity that comes with that.[/quote]
