I hear Austin is already getting tough: high rents forcing out exactly what made it cool in the first place.
I personally think the value of being in a hot well known startup city is overrated. My startup is in DC and we're doing fine.
- crazyjayd 12y agoWe actually visited Austin to move there, and found the rents/home pricing so much, that we would have to live in a distant cookie cutter home community. We went with Boston, because of bigger job market. Better public transportation and crappier weather (j/k).
- vcjohnson 12y agoYeah Austin rents are pretty high in the main area of the city now. You can get decent places/rates a little farther out, but the boom has risen rent prices considerably in the last 5 years. Still much, much less than SF/NYC though.
