Austin used to be weird because all of the state's rejects would move there from the country towns they didn't really fit in, so it sucks when californians move here and make everyone feel like shit for being different or uncool when that's what everyone moved to Austin to escape.
Can you talk about or even later do a video about their transit system and what you speculate the development around that will be in the future? If I move there I am planning to live within a 10 minute bicycle ride away from one of the train station for their one and only train line. I am hoping in the future that train will be developed to go faster and be more practical than driving, and hoping that they will continue to develop other rail lines
The current train line, the Red Line, probably won’t get much faster anytime soon. At some point soon, we may get better frequency but other cities are better than Austin for bike+train and will be for the foreseeable future. Austin does offer pretty good bus plus bike choices with the rapid buses 801 and 803 as good routes to live along. The 801 will basically turn into light rail at some point. Austin will probably build a new & frequent light rail line (the Blue Line) from the airport to downtown first. Might take seven years to open. You can find out more by Googling Project Connect. I wish I had more pleasant information to offer, but like Frank I prefer blunt & honest. (Austin does have a pretty good bike trails network, btw)
Just choose somewhere like Leander Texas or even Menard, Texas or even Cedar Park, Texas or hutto, Texas or liberty Hill, Texas but it is true that Austin Texas wasn’t meant for a lot of people the city was built small
I also recommend down in Laredo Texas. Life is much simpler. Down in Laredo Texas you could find haircuts for eight dollars.. you got the border right across crossing new into Nuevo Laredo Mexico, quite a very nice place to visit and go and eat out at a restaurant or go home by medicine.
@@serenadonelson9195 I think the small cities in Florida are great, but if you want to own a business or just live in a big city, then Fort Lauderdale is the best.
A lot depends on what you like. Does the weather matter? Will you be driving everywhere? What do you like to do for fun? Austin’s under the radar advantage is that we have a very good food scene, both restaurants and grocery stores.
I’d like to visit Austin just because it’s a dream of mine to go to a Texas Longhorns football game but I wouldn’t live there it’s just way too liberal for me
Austin in some ways wants to compete with it's bigger brethren in Dallas and Houston in some ways. Yet in other ways it's just another Texas city that is still trying to keep up with all the people still moving to the state in general. I think I read yet another article that the north Texas area is still the fastest growing in Texas but let's get real, Texas is growing period. Austin in 10 years, will be LA is so many ways...unfortunately.

So true my friend, thank you for an honest assessment.

It is, don't waste your time.

Hit the nail on the head. I have been here from Port Arthur since 1968.

Its a congested overpriced cesspool.
And we/Austin may even have a "seriel killer" too...Rainey St. Ripper is what they're calling "him".
It’s going to turn out that Town Lake has a mermaid.
@@jamesdwithrow 😂😂😂🧜🏻♀️ she does not want to be found! Hahaha
I honestly thought this was jared padalecki for a minute and was so confused😅
Hey there fellow Supernatural fan. Be cool if Jared with salt and shotgun as your real estate agent
Just wondering, which city is the better alternative to Austin(if there is) for business/work and just overall life.
I am wondering this to. I would love to find a smaller Austin!
@@serenadonelson9195 I’m searching for big cities though.

@@jamesdwithrow NYC for me looks fun. I mostly like major cities because of the big city feels.
Do you know how many transplants come to California? I hope to be a transplant to Texas, very soon.

If you like San Francisco, you'll LOVE Austin.
"Like San Francisco, but sweatier". lol
Lower the property taxes and then it will be more like California….. it’s definitely not as pretty as California…
