Austin is comparatively better but not a whole lot. The big three cities in Texas are getting extremely expensive with ridiculous traffic to boot.

- skellington 6y agoAustin is still dirt cheap compared to the Bay Area if you're not living in the core area. The housing around where the Gigafactory is going to be is very affordable.

- mariojv 6y agoAverage rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in Fremont is 70% more expensive than one in Austin right now: https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/tx/austin/ https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/tx/au... https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/ca/fremont/ https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/ca/fr... If you drive even a little further out, living costs are far cheaper, too. Austin proper is not that large. In a nearby town less than 15 miles from downtown Austin, I see 2800 sqft. houses renting on Zillow for $200-300/month cheaper than what I paid in Bay Area rents for a 1 bedroom ~600 sqft. apartment almost 10 years ago. Not that it won't ever get there, but Texas cities have a ways to go to catch up with some of the CA housing prices.
