The Author is using some motivated reasoning to justify some prior hypothesis.
The paragraph about people not talking about National politics/culture wars is especially BS. I was in Austin in 2016, there were watch parties in bars for presidential debates and everyone I met at bars were talking about whether they would vote for Clinton (this was before the Trump takeover of the GOP, so his campaign was considered a joke gone too far by most people).
Likewise the part about the City not being beautiful… what the fuck? The sunsets were absolutely legendary and I would love hanging out around Zilker park watching them.
This is just a really bad article.

I mean, I live in Austin, and I don't see anything special about sitting on a large lawn and watching the sun go down. It's like the bats under the bridge thing, it gets old very fast, but given that Austin really doesn't have many other significant staples, here we are. Austin really isn't beautiful. I don't think it tries to be, though.
