All I know is that I want some of that Tech density to spread out to Texas. Texas right now is probably one of (if not THE) top states to start/grow a business in. If you're in SF and you're young (and/or willing) come over to Texas and get rich over the next 10 years, then go live wherever you want with your future partner and kids. ;)

- mattlong 13y agoTexan currently living in SF here. You'd be hard-pressed to convince me that Austin or any other major city in Texas is dirtier or grungier than SF[1]. I've gotten used to it now, but SF really is an amazingly dirty place. Going back to San Antonio or Austin is literally a breath of fresh air compared to here. [1] You said Bay Area, but lets at least try to compare apples to apples.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoTexas can be pretty grungy (downtown Dallas) and is fairly sterile suburban when dirt isn't involved. Austin core is quite nice, but the poverty is just weird: there are no obvious homeless people, but plenty of people living in their cars. San Antonia is also a nice city in its core. I would never live in Texas again because of the heat, as well as the values even in liberal Austin. Also, I don't like to drive everywhere.
- angersock 13y agoYep. Come to Houston, get fucking awesome food and dirt-cheap living. Problem is, everyone who doesn't live here think its some kind of crazy right-wing shithole. :(
