Austin gets looked-down-on by the SV types for being the home of many lifestyle businesses (I used to work for one). But y'know - they provide a product that customer pay for, they employ people, and they tend to be around for a long time, unlike a lot of the here-today, gone-tomorrow startups. There's nothing wrong with "boring" if it makes you money.
