Austin is ridiculously expensive by Texas standards. Super cheap by California standards.
- jessaustin 6y agoLots of Texas is cheaper, but executives don't want to drive three hours in a rental car after their flight.
- vonmoltke 6y agoDallas, Houston, and San Antonio are cheaper than Austin and do not require a 3h drive from the airport.
- jessaustin 6y agoI'm sure you're right, but I'd like to better understand how a city surrounded by sparsely inhabited wasteland could have a shortage of anything of which those other cities have plenty. Austin is practically a suburb of San Antonio anyway, and has no obvious qualities that aren't shared by ten other cities and big towns in Texas.
- dreamcompiler 6y agoOther Texas cities do not have the cultural amenities or pleasant weather of Austin, nor do they have the political sensibilities of Austin that make it more attractive for younger workers. It's the city in Texas where you will have the least difficulty finding friends outside the MAGA and hardcore evangelical groups.
