I've been resisting everyone telling me to move to Austin. I never really understood the hype even when all my friends went to UT. It doesn't seem to have the bones to become a major liveable city. Certainly a young professional prifessional can have a good lifestyle downtown but as far as raising a family ... meh. Too hot, limited economy and tech sector there has been untested by a downturn, not that cheap anymore, and Texas politics. Now, where do all the open minded slackers go in America now? Austin, Portland, Venice ... these places aren't really giving that vibe anymore
