Long the liberal redoubt in conservative Texas, the capital city is becoming a statewide model.


Is Austin becoming the San Francisco of Texas?

When I moved to Austin in 1992, I had not clue as to its political nature. Didn't care then and I don't care now. Great live music. Good food. Vibrant. Nice weather. Close to Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio.

And I'm hardly the only one who thinks that way.

Austin is a leach upon Texas. It benefits from the wealth that the rest of the State generates.

Austin has always been a fucked up liberal city full of assholes.

I like some of their strip clubs, though.

I've never been to Austin but I've heard it's quite nice. The State of Texas is booming Economically, Socially, Politically. Austin is definitely one Texas City that is leading the pack.

Over-priced real estate, horrible traffic, overpopulated,

Liberal bias everywhere
The State Capitol and politicians are ensconced - along with the usual greed and corruption
No thanks

I'll take north Texas anytime.

Texas is so big every corner is different. There is something for everyone. I've been to Houston a few times Orange, and Beaumont. Beaumont similar to Louisiana.

Right. Some ridiculous personal opinions based on fractured reasoning. Austin is far from perfect but it is WAY better than most other cities its size. I should have added that Austin has a very low crime rate and the rise in median home prices has soared, meaning I have made quite a bit of money on my house investment. Tough to get into the housing market though.

I enjoy Dallas and its environs.

Exactly what liberal bias is there in Austin that you have a problem with?

Lived there for 13 years. My statement, as you correctly cited, was "When I moved to Austin in 1992,"

Totally true statement. I no longer live there but still take advantage of the city on an almost daily basis.

There you go trying to correct the intentionally offered erroneous allegation of fact after getting called out about your bullshit. Carpetbaggers try to blend in .... they can't!

When you arrived in 1992 it was already infested with whining, socialist, liberal want-a-be's that perceived Austin as the technologically innovative Mecca that coddled to the "strange" segment of our society that drowned their discomfort with unmentionable substances and publicly displayed anti-social behavior .... "birds of a feather flocked together" in Austin. That's why a drunkard DA was re-elected.
