- mbesto 7y agoI love NYC. Here are the downsides of NYC that I don't miss (relative to Austin): - High income tax - Far from anything west coast (skiing, mountains, outdoors, SF/LA, etc) - Cold winters. Much easier to get to the caribean in the winter. - Hard to get "out" of the city during the summer that doesn't have stupid logistics (e.g. hamptons). You can get to one of the lakes 15~60 min depending on where you live in Austin. - Everyone talks about work (austin, people don't care what you do for a living) Downsides of Austin: - It's a small town. If you're social, you'll know everyone in about a year. - Opportunity is limited. - Satellite airport (gotta connect via HOU and DFW) - Summers get HOT.
