What made Austin attractive is disappearing. It's a paradox of nice places, they never last. As soon as people discover a nice place, everyone rushes in and ruins what made it nice in the first place.

@thankyou9085 2 года назад

Exactly what happened to California, once it was the typical wild western state until people back east flocked there in droves in the early 20th century. Texas is destined to be the next California its just a matter of time

Austin has been a boom town for years. From the late 90s all through the 2000s the city has been popular and growing. After the recession it just accelerated and now during the pandemic it has become insane. So glad I bought my home back in 2012 when it was only a third of the price it is today.

Nope do not agree. Inflation is a global issues. In the future, If Texas will be more expensive to live then California and New York will be even more….That will be even out. If the government inject less money into the economy then our debt ceiling and price of goods and services will also be not as high. Every time when you get free government money bc they print more money….You will have to repay it even more for every item you are buying on a daily basis…unless you get Government money and don’t spend a dime…which is impossible!

@blankerism4189 2 года назад

since the construction of MoPac, traffic has only gotten worse for the past 40 years. not building out a highway or interstate Loop, which is controversial in liberal Austin, would of made a difference. DWF, Houston and even San Antonio have theirs which helps.

@chocolatechipslime 2 года назад

It’s like that in all of these popular affordable cities, Austin, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Charlotte, Atlanta and so on…. People move from other states and they keep coming year after year. The city sprawls even further out, traffic gets worse, housings and taxes go up and then it prices out the locals who grew up in that city. I left the Austin/ San Antonio area because it was growing too quick and getting more expensive. I moved to Alabama, most people don’t wanna move to Alabama and that’s great with me. Super cheap to live, nice weather, close to florida beaches, still has alot of character and culture and countryside. People are laid back and non pretentious, and I really enjoy a quiet smaller town lifestyle.

@ivancheburan2209 2 года назад

Frankly speaking we are facing the same trend in Russia, where almost nobody lives in the suburbs, rather 9-storey tall buildings but the prices have skyrocketed anyway.

@bonesandbells 2 года назад

It was car centered single family homes for decades with single family homes only 15 minutes from downtown under $200k as recently as 2012. It's the massive tax incentives to the big tech companies that pushed housing demand far beyond the supply. There are a lot of apartments being built, but it will take years to even catch up to current demand. The infrastructure also suffers with the tax incentive deals and most companies getting the incentives give back little to community programs and charities.

@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO Год назад

Then people will move farther out into the suburbs. It's as simple as that. The problem for California is Democrat Laws and Politics which is preventing Home Construction and expansion into Rural Suburban Areas (like LAFCO, CEQA, SB8, SB9, SB10, and a littany of others).

Relative to coastal California, sure, Austin is indeed a relative bargain for upper-middle income people (def: $150k/yr and up). It has a lot of space, still, which makes homes more affordable but that also contributes to suburban sprawl and traffic that's on par with LA. And you better like heat and humidity, since it's a subtropical climate (100-degree days and humid). Great festivals and food, for sure, though.

Go 75 miles down the highway from Austin to San Antonio. That city resists change in the face of a lot of population growth, much so, that many younger residents and newcomers end up leaving for other cities.

I grew up in Houston TX and always noticed people from expensive places moving in. I lived all over CA for a few years and I totally see why. It’s a gorgeous state but that comes with a premium and living there full time keeps you way too busy to keep up. I made twice as much out there as I would in TX but it still didn’t help. And I suppose if you have a family to support, it’s even harder. Eventually they have no choice but to settle for Texas. More space for less money. But I find the culture of Texas pretty boring compared to California. Weather is too humid/rainy to really wanna be outside much so you spend a lot of time inside a house or car. California always had me at the beach or forest, simply experiencing nature without breaking a sweat. And Californians are much more chill for the most part which I like but others prefer the staunch conservativeness of Texans which is fine. Colorado is a nice middle ground for me, personally.

Austin is overhyped, overpriced and overcrowded. How about showing the families displaced by the rising costs here and the decreasing diversity due to the “affordable” homes for out of staters.

Property taxes in Texas is Crazy high, so I don't know. Good for businesses and bad for homeowners.

@josephkordinak1591 2 года назад

They give the companies big tax breaks to come here and then put the burden of the added costs on the backs of the taxpayers.

It may be awesome that Austin is growing and all that all these people moving there are bringing more crime and trashing the city they have reported more trash and dumping on the streets and trash in the waterways around Austin since all these people have been moving there

The tech industry will destroy Austin just like it did to beautiful San Francisco. Great wealth also brings great despair because as prices rise, average income people will have few options. With the rising costs comes stress, anxiety and drug addiction, just like SF.

😯 " NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING!.... Unquestionably, Austin TX is ' on a roll ' and only time will tell for how long. How often has The U.S. seen these boom-and-bust regional scenarios wherein one big metro becomes the ' it place ' to be. There's a massive influx of new economic and population growth resulting in dramatic prosperity, for a myriad of reasons, only to eventually lose it's luster and fall out of favor. Why? Because of the more often than not difficult burden of meeting and sustaining the explosive growth, displacement, and other socioeconomic issues that can't be easily address or resolved like in the past. For the moment, Austin's on ' everybody's lips ' in a good way. But only time will tell for how long. Hopefully, it will ' buck the odds ' . "
