[quote=Anonymous]I live in Austin and have for over 20 years.  Its gained and lost things over the years but its a vibrant city that is just now starting to experience big city problems.

Honestly, you can pick apart any city and imagine what you might not like about it.  And, if you’re going by criminal politicians - good luck finding any state without them.

Small towns west of Austin in the Hill Country are beautiful and reasonably priced places to live.  The smaller towns are typically more conservative (I’m not) and do great job of having a functioning police department, DA, near zero crime, no homeless people anywhere and also are starting to have great restaurants, coffee shops and even regular free events on the town square. In one of the small towns I’m talking about we went to a free show with a famous singer/songwriter.  We parked right on the town square (for free!) sat in the middle of mainstreet in lawnchairs with our drinks and watched the show and kids and families everywhere.

With the ability to work remote, large cities start to make less and less sense.  Big cities all have their issues. I wonder if their won’t be another “white-flite” type migration that moves people out to small towns who want low crime and low cost of living.
