Re: How About Austin, Texas ?
I'm just so sick of reading posts of people crying in their milk over CHANGE. It REALLY pissed me off. The Statesman is probably one of the worst.
Deal with it cause it's not going away. The "old Austin" sounded like shit and nothing that I would have been interested in. I'm glad there are tons of condos going up downtown and that we have a vibrant and safe downtown. The food, weather, people and overall quality of life are amazing compared to other places I have lived. Yes, traffic is bad, and not being able to buy a beer before noon on Sunday is one of the dumbest things in the history of mankind; but those are minor annoyances. There is something for everyone even if it isn't downtown. Hell, even the air quality is great!
Now that I am done offending all the old farts here, I really, truly do love Austin and even if I do end up in Dallas yet this year(money talks), we already decided to keep a condo in Austin. Yes, I'm an ex-Yankee.
...and if you really have been here 20-30 years, have you EVER lived in a big city? People are super behaved and super friendly in public around here. I can't say that about any of the other places I use to live in.
