  • Austin is known for its local food, great live music, and keeping it weird.
    Its a great place to live and visit, thanks to low taxes and low crime rate. It's a party town and the music capital of the US. This video about Austin is more than a travel guide.

    I’ve lived in Austin for a few years. It’s a great place for jobs and young people. It’s one the prettier areas of Texas with beautiful nature. It’s very warm in the summer but the rest of the year is nice. If you are coming just to visit, don’t come in the summer unless you like sweating a lot.

      @@ahmedzakikhan7639 Sorry, but you were mistaken. Austin leans to the progressive side in many ways, but it's in the middle of a very, very, very conservative state with an economy built on oil and gas production. Austin has one single commuter rail line, and a bunch of half empty busses roaming around. The city council has been fighting with Uber and Lyft for years. Cars are important.

      Thats the thing tho.. Red states tend to be more poorer/welfare states/low cost of living, they don't bring in much money, they are easy to survive in, as I live in one too, I don't mind living here, its cheap, but lot of low wage jobs, no real innovation here. While when you see modernization that liberalism brings in with tech/higher wage jobs/higher cost of living/surplus of money towards the state, which makes homes more costly, property/taxes, greedy politicians, it only takes time til it becomes like any expensive liberal city. If your able to survive in those areas, that goods, need the skills; no skills, the odds of homeless much higher.

    As an Austin native born at the original Seton Hospital, and a LBJ by way of McCallum high school alumni, I can honestly say it has been nothing short of amazing watching the transformation of this great city. However, I do miss a lot of the Black owned businesses with which I grew up. Due to massive gentrification in certain areas, Austin has definitely taken on a new vibe in parts of the city that use to be much more laid back and some areas just flat out dead. But a few things I love about my hometown include the “Big city” experience with the small town feel; the Black Chamber of Commerce, the great support the city gives to local musicians, SXSW Film/Music Festival (amazing), and I can’t leave out our boy… Matthew McConaughey!!😊

Nothing says Austin more than a bunch of privileged white yuppie slimeballs pretending to support the black community they expelled from their historic neighborhood to build dog yoga boutiques.

    I used to visit here from Houston and it was a great city and affordable. I remember going through Georgetown to get to Burnet up to 7 years ago and it was very small and rural. When I moved here in 2018 it was crazy how much it grew. Now, within the past 2 years so many people I knew had picked up and left because rents are now close to $1500 right outside of downtown and the average person can no longer afford it. Most people have to drive an hour into Austin just to work. It's just going to get worse.

      Austin has been the most expensive city to live in Texas since the 90's largely in part because it was a growing city. One would think that because Austin is tech oriented or job heavy, the average house hold income today would be higher than 67k. Currently Austin ranks 19th for wages in Texas.

    It is too late. Austin has already been overrun by corporate America. Iconic Threadgills is gone (probably replaced by a Starbucks). My brother-in-law owned a wine bar downtown that had live music most nights (a staple of downtown Austin pre 2020s), but megacorps made bids on the lot that just priced him out, so now there is a Starbucks or some shit there.
    In closing, everyone coming to Austin now is just feasting on the corpse of what Austin used to be.

Speaking of which, if you ever see Mopac, S.Lamar, S.1st, S.Congress, and I-35 weekday mornings, the only reason that the inbound traffic is so terribly dense is because S.Austinites and our neighbors to the south in Buda and Kyle, make up the MAJORITY of the workforce in the greater Austin metro area.
