He said "Texas", not Austin, TX. Not sure why anyone would want to live there anyway... went there to help my nephew move in to his apartment at UT Austin four years ago. Went down there a few times to hang out with him, not fucking impressive. At all.
I'll stick with Fort Worth, and Dallas if I really must.
If you can't afford rent in Fort Worth, drive 20 minutes up the road to Denton. There are 800 sq. ft. apartments there for $695.
At any rate, my personal taste in cities aside, here's the sad truth no one wants to confront: not everyone is going to get to live where they want in life, because not everyone is valuable enough to the economy to make enough money to live in the exclusive places. A cashier at McDonald's will never be as valuable as a developer for a startup company. It's isn't "unfair", it's a function of which adds more value to the market economy.
- Eric_WVGG 5y agoI know he said "Texas", that's my point. He didn't compare NYC to posh Austin or an upscale sector of Houston, he compared it to an entire state. You could just as easily say "if the cost of living in Austin is too much for you, there are affordable places to live in New York" meaning North Tonawanda or Syracuse. Ridiculous.
