@jaylee6830: Exactly. I seen a lot of people moving to another state and is doing worse financially than they were in their original state. People say they make more money here and there and how wonderful it is to be here but failed to tell the truth about their financial conditions 😂.
I moved to Austin a couple years ago but now I want to leave again. People drive like crazy, the weather is too damn hot, and people just ghost you these days but maybe that's just a bad American habit. Japan or Taiwan is on my list of places to move. Thanks for the video!
Sounds like all your reasons apply to America as a whole. I’ve been living in Mexico and my stress is at zero, I eat healthier, I’m happier, and life is great here. ❤❤❤
Old Austin was where I could interact w someone at a house party then run into them at the lake 3 weeks later. Hippies, cowboys and hispanics got along but progressive leaning culture rooted that out a bit. Still a great place w some growing pains.
@@Rainy_Day12234 oh wow ok yea I've seen that for a city in my state more California people moved here and people got more distant a meaner over the years
I’m we’ll traveled, I’ve been to 46 states. Not talk airport layovers, unlike her, I’m more like an actual nomad not a digital one. This video was a waste of 9 mins of my life. If anyone is making life decisions based on topics discussed here, may god have mercy on your soul.
I moved to Austin in 1986 as a child and just recently moved to Tampa. I loved Austin for so long yet after spending 5 months visiting 24 countries in Europe last year and the lack of public transportation is a shame. I last lived downtown thinking it would be an amazing experience yet having to drive everywhere really sucks. I also tried going for a walk when it was 105F outside downtown and it was pure hell. Austin and most of the U.S. needs to completely revamp their transportation infrastructure and take notes from Japan and Switzerland.
@foxtrotthree569 South Austin is not a different city; it is Austin, TX. I used to live there, and my address was Austin, TX. What you said makes no sense. Google it.
@llmnr3xp0sed I believe he means Figuratively? I get it. It's a very diverse landscape. Hill on one side, canyons on the other. Downtown, Round Rock. South felt very homely from what I remember. I spent more time out West of Bee Caves. Definitely much different than Louis Henna
Denver used to be this way too. It used to be perfect, like a clean small town city but now it’s overcrowded and busting at its seams just like Austin.
I was considering moving to Austin from Switzerland, but with covid it got delayed, I was already considering Austin back then. I'm not there but it seems Austin is not changing for the best rn, Homesless, the rainy dude... Not so sure anymore, that's sad
Don't listen to this Karen, she chose to live fking downtown. What an idiot! Of course your going to have traffic.... it all depends on where you live honestly. The city is great!
Which areas are safe affordable family friendly to live?? Does it get very cold there?? Do you have crocodiles problems, love bugs?? Scorpion??What are the properties taxes on a average?? Does it hail in all texas?? Flood?? Is more humid or dry? Is there tornados, hurricane?? How's the health insurance ??
Austin sounds like a great place to live, work, make new friends, raise a family and pursue the American Dream. So many opportunities for the entrepreneurial minded who look forward to rising up and meeting the daunting challenges of life. Everywhere I look there is a new business opening, neighborhoods being revitalized and friendly people looking connect.
So I moved here from Manhattan about two years ago. During the Covid and all that. And I know people are like oh well you’re from New York. You’re part of the problem. Actually I moved here for what my friend who lives in San Antonio sold me on Austin with was it’s weird. I’m a weird person. It’s artsy. I’m an artist, they love except all kinds of people I happen to also be gay but not crazy about it. And so I was looking for that eclectic hippie artsy, musical kind of place that also had a little touch of a city. And I feel like I find it here and there, but it’s very small and fleeting and most people here I find to be rude and irritating it could just be the world that we live in now and the way the country is unfortunately. But I really did move here for that old Austin vibe. Because when people that are from here, tell me about how it used to be. I wish that that’s what it was because that’s what I wanted to live in. so I don’t know if I’m gonna stay here I can go outside and go to some of the most beautiful places I’ve ever hiked before. I do appreciate that that’s one good thing. I do like the nature and all the outdoor activities that are offered here. But that will only get things so far plus none of those those are actually in Austin anyway.
Honorable mention on why people leave Austin: The politics. If you are a Republican in that city, Austin is the San Francisco or Chicago or Los Angeles or Seattle or New York City or Denver of Texas. In other words, you cannot get any more liberal than these cities. In fact, these are some of the most liberal cities in the US. If you feel politically uncomfortable living in Austin move to another city in Texas. If you are a Texas Democrat who loves the politics of Austin but despise the politics of Texas overall, think very carefully on whether to move out of Texas or not.
I've lived in Austin since 1987 yes things have changed. What do you expect with 1.2 million people?? Austin is a big city with small town streets. The city has made the streets even smaller by placing stick barriers for bicyclists.
Well, there’s a couple topics that you didn’t mention, and that would be the queer side and the political side, the liberalism compared to the conservative
Expanding on the crime, it’s due to the population of democratic states (mostly California) continuously leaving because of the practically legal-crime, companies moving (a lot to Texas) because of the crimes, and insane enforcement child gender laws as well as other factors Austin and possibly parts of Texas will definitely keep growing in crime and as Texas becomes more democratic, it will eventually become plausible that Texas one day could become like California as it is now Especially since Texas is also the best state for the logical allowance of guns and home defense safety
@@TexasFireMedic home taxes. Dont worry about that if you dont plan on owning a home. East Texas sucks lol. I went to college in Tyler. Youre gonna hate it there if you dont go to shreveport or dallas as often as you possibly can.
The problem is this is happening everywhere, along with the denegration of society and the rise of vapid consumerism. Where are these people going then or is everyone moving from city to city only to experience the same feeling of being lost in the numbers?
Remember. The grass isn’t greener no matter where you move. It’s just different grass

I completely agree

Austin is a complete overhype. There are better cities.
Name 3 😮
Minneapolis and Austin both make you spend a large amount of the year inside to escape the weather, one in the winter and the other in the summer.
Sounds horrible. I’m getting out of LA, which is absolutely horrible. I’ve decided to get the hell away from any city. That is not living.
Are you native and grew up in Austin ? I heard people from there are frustrated with all the Northerners moving in and changing the whole vibe..
Yess i grew up here! It is quite frustrating but still a lot of positives to living in this city - especially if it’s already home 😊
💞💓I love this video. We are leaving Dallas for the same reasons. we are wanting to be active outdoors and cooler summers. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!🤍🤍🤍

Do liberal people make conservative areas meaner?

So where are the people who are leaving Austin moving to?
yeah because California is ruined by the same thing, corporation are ruining the fabrications of life.
Mopac becoming Mo and Mo pac'd each year!

Yea, it is pretty cold in Puerto Rico in the summer.
How is South Austin not technically Austin?
Same reason North Las Vegas is not Las Vegas. They are two different cities.

I haven’t heard of one person wearing a Maga hat in Austin committing a crime???
This whole video is just lies. Families are still moving to Autin in droves. She's just generalizing
Doesn’t look like anyone is leaving💀
Denver used to be this way too. It used to be perfect, like a clean small town city but now it’s overcrowded and busting at its seams just like Austin.

looks like a trend clear across America, where are you thinking is the next place is the question
Small town? Austin has been a major city since forever.
Which areas are safe affordable family friendly to live?? Does it get very cold there?? Do you have crocodiles problems, love bugs?? Scorpion??What are the properties taxes on a average?? Does it hail in all texas?? Flood?? Is more humid or dry? Is there tornados, hurricane?? How's the health insurance ??
Google is your friend
I have same questions and was hoping to hear answers from someone who lives there
I was there for three days beautiful city !! 😍 I fell in love with its upbeat vibes San Antonio was Ahhmazing too!!!
