- Watch for the real CONS of living in Austin Texas. In this video, I will describe and explain the cons of living in Austin as well as some of the ways these could be pros (depending on who you are and why you're thinking about moving to Austin or Texas in general). I was working so hard on this that I messed up on the text for the number one reason but you got the video on time, hope you enjoy!

I'm from Houston , & I LOVE Austin , yes it isn't as diverse as Houston but , people are sweet here 🫶🏽 . Thank you for the videos Beautiful Lady .
I agree I think the people here are nice. I diversity isn’t a big deal to me as long as people are kind and respectful I don’t care what color they are 🤷🏽♀️
You are correct from every angle. I lived there from 2017 - 2023 and the lack of diversity and cost of living is the absolute truth. I lived in Round Rock and when I got hired on my first job, I was the only African American of about 200 others in the building. That was a shocker for me coming from the Atlanta area to Austin. Thanks so much for the video.
I was the one who asked you about making this video last week. Thank you so much for making it. I have literally been waiting all week for this video. I checked in the morning and in the afternoon. lol This was a great video. After watching both your pros and cons videos, I might reconsider Austin. The place doesn't seem bad, but it seems the high cost of living is really the killer. It seems you need to be making some really GOOD money to live there. Not only that, it also seems that you would have to keep making sure you get increases because I know the cost of living there has to keep rising due to all the people moving there. This leads me to the other thing you mentioned about the crowds. Crowds can be cool, but they can get played out after awhile. The long lines and packs of people for anything as simple as grocery shopping would annoy me eventually. Austin seems like a place that would wear on you after awhile and then you would want to move on like you are doing. Thanks again for making this video. I really appreciate it.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and I’m happy that I could shed some light on the pros and cons of living here in Austin! I absolutely agree that it is very expensive here and the crowds are something I didn’t expect. It is a great place to start after college if you are in the media or tech field but after 2 years here, I’m definitely ready to move 😅 thanks again for watching and I appreciate you putting the fire under me to deliver! 🙌🙏🏾
@@Morgansaron That is no problem. I was like I hope she had time to do it. lol I really enjoyed the video. Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing, Morgan! Great video
Thank you! 🙏🏾
Being from Atlanta saying austin is crowded is crazy. I went to Atlanta last year and going again in July and i swear going to the coca cola museum(only 6 miles away from my hotel) took a hour! I was in Austin(georgetown to go get a car at roger Beasley) in December and driving, compared to Atlanta was sooooo much more fluid and fast paced. Nothing about Austin felt crowded compared to Atlanta and Houston.
Your story sounds exactly like mine lol
@@a.n.watson8797exactly like be forreal 😂 going to sandy springs from downtown Atlanta shouldn’t take no more than 10 min but it’s gonna be over a hour. Austin is NO WAY close to like that like to can travel really well and also its more lanes in Texas usually as well.
@@everythingtrack I use to travel from midtown/briarcliff to metropolitan pkwy a few time a week. Took me an hour just to get out of the midtown area…. I’m actually in Killeen Texas now 1 hour outside Austin and the commute from here to Austin ain’t too bad nowhere near Atl
@@a.n.watson8797 I’m in Hattiesburg mississippi but i graduate usm in cybersecurity December and i want to move to austin or some city that’s on the east side of texas. But i have them in mind, charlotte or Raleigh nc and Tennessee and Virginia(a lot of federal jobs)
@@everythingtrack wow that’s crazy you said cybersecurity I’m suppose to going to school for network engineering soon. I’m be paying out of pocket thats the only down side. But do you think it’s worth it?
As someone who moved from East Texas to Austin in the past several years, I just started really learning about the history of the city and why the population is so heavily white. In the early 1900s the city was segregated, if you look at a map of Austin I35 runs directly through the city and the east side was heavily subjected to redlining, as well as other tactics used in segregation. When Austin started being looked at by companies and corporations wanting to move here to get tax breaks they of course bought up properties on the east side, inflating the market and driving people from their homes due to property taxes skyrocketing. Microsoft and Tesla are currently on the east side and Samsung is in the process of building a location in Taylor, which is north east of Austin and a darling little community that happens to house a lot of low income families. And as you would expect, these companies coming in pushed people out of their homes, forcing them to the suburbs or making them leave the city altogether. I truly hate how corporations have ruined a place that used to be a refuge for the weird black sheeps of the family to convalesce. Now we’re just another city who have become servants of capitalism 💀
luckily i'm from Miami, so none of these really deterred me. but great video, thank you!
Your camera quality is AMAZING ! May I ask what are you using ?
Thank you so much! I use an iPhone 14 Pro Max 😊
Diversity is a must for my next move, thanks to speaking on that
Take what she’s saying with a grain of salt. It’s more diverse than what is being said.
Wanted to move to Texas but the only turn off I saw was the cost of living, is San Antonio cheaper?
Much cheaper. Literally the same new build house is 100k less in San Antonio than in Austin. I compared the "Lincoln" build by Centex. Its 396k in Austin but 296k in San Antonio. Yeah I'm going with SA lol
San Antonio is cheaper by FAR but imo fun to visit but not to live. Houston would be a great middle ground between being affordable and fun to live in long term while still having quick access to Austin, San Antonio and Galveston if you want a lil fun quick get away.
I need diversity within my community! Great point
So true! It is definitely something that takes getting used to 😅 thanks for watching the video! ☺️
The cost of living in Austin Texas it's getting worse. And with me working a low paying job where I am just getting paid 1,000 for 2 weeks it's not cutting it. I am looking into changing careers hopefully I'll be able to make above 1,000 dollars with working in health care. And after that I will be glad to leave Austin, TX for good.
What about east Austin? Where the Mexican people at ?
😅
Only one reason needed to not live in or near Austin: it is New California.
