You're preaching to the choir. I made that argument. Personally I would move to Povo, Utah (not well research, so don't judge if Povo actually sucks). I like the nature and the climate of Utah better. But Austin is perfect for going out, culture, and large tech community. Kansas is perfect if you intend to live in your house, sit online, and not really interact with the other residents. I have actually visited Kansas City, it's not as bad as one might think, or much worse, depending on your outlook on hipsters. It's got a lot of people who, I swear, are living in Kansas ironically. The 30-somethings with philosophy degrees, black socks to their knees, smoking thin cigarets out of their sterling silver cigaret cases, and generally looking cool just for the sake of looking cool. It was very strange to see a large, metropolitan city, on Tuesday, during daytime, around noon, completely and utterly empty. As if a zombi apocalypse rolled through and everyone was killed. That is Downtown Kansas City. I am not even kidding, I have pictures somewhere.

> Personally I would move to Povo, Utah (not well research, so don't judge if Povo actually sucks). I like the nature and the climate of Utah better. Right, Provo is another option. But my distaste for warm climates is only eclipsed by my distaste for religion, particularly fundamentalist ones like Mormonism. Provo is home to BYU and the largest Missionary Training Center for the LDS church. I don't mind religious people too much if they keep to themselves, but I can only imagine how often you would get accosted in public in Provo by "missionaries in training" trying to practice their "pitch". I'd be willing to tolerate the heat in Austin if it meant avoiding that.

  Hmm, I did not know that about Povo. I am religious my self, but of the live and let live, nondenominational, type. I would not want to live in a place where people try to convert me all the time. That's something to consider.
