About Austin, Texas:
🟢 en.wikipedia.o...
🟢 www.austintexa...
🟢 www.austintexa...
"Austin is the capital city of the U.S. state of Texas, as well as the seat and largest city of Travis County, with portions extending into Hays and Williamson counties. Incorporated on December 27, 1839, it is the 11th-most populous city in the United States, the fourth-most-populous city in Texas, and the second-most-populous state capital city (after Phoenix, Arizona). It has been one of the fastest growing large cities in the United States since 2010. Austin is the southernmost state capital in the contiguous United States and is considered a "Beta −" global city as categorized by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network."
"As of the U.S. Census Bureau's July 1, 2019 estimate, Austin had a population of 978,908, up from 790,491 at the 2010 census. The city is the cultural and economic center of the Austin-Round Rock metropolitan statistical area, which had an estimated population of 2,295,303 as of July 1, 2020, roughly 84% increase from the year 2000. Located in Central Texas within the greater Texas Hill Country, it is home to numerous lakes, rivers, and waterways, including Lady Bird Lake and Lake Travis on the Colorado River, Barton Springs, McKinney Falls, and Lake Walter E. Long."
"Residents of Austin are known as Austinites. They include a diverse mix of government employees, college students, musicians, high-tech workers, digital marketers, and blue-collar workers. The city's official slogan promotes Austin as "The Live Music Capital of the World", a reference to the city's many musicians and live music venues, as well as the long-running PBS TV concert series Austin City Limits. The city also adopted "Silicon Hills" as a nickname in the 1990s due to a rapid influx of technology and development companies. In recent years, some Austinites have adopted the unofficial slogan "Keep Austin Weird", which refers to the desire to protect small, unique, and local businesses from being overrun by large corporations. Since the late 19th century, Austin has also been known as the "City of the Violet Crown", because of the colorful glow of light across the hills just after sunset."
"Austin, the southernmost state capital of the contiguous 48 states, is located in Central Texas on the Colorado River. Austin is 146 miles northwest of Houston, 182 miles south of Dallas and 74 miles northeast of San Antonio.
In 2010, the city occupied a total area of 305.1 square miles. Approximately 7.2 square miles of this area is water. Austin is situated at the foot of the Balcones Escarpment, on the Colorado River, with three artificial lakes within the city limits: Lady Bird Lake (formerly known as Town Lake), Lake Austin (both created by dams along the Colorado River), and Lake Walter E. Long that is partly used for cooling water for the Decker Power Plant. Mansfield Dam and the foot of Lake Travis are located within the city's limits. Lady Bird Lake, Lake Austin, and Lake Travis are each on the Colorado River."

As someone who lived in San Francisco proper and also many years in the surrounding Bay Area, I must tell you that tech changed the Bay Area a lot. They attracted a lot of well paying jobs from all over the country, including Texas, thus displacing the long time residents and causing prices to go out of control. Now that all those CA tech companies are moving to Austin - good luck with keeping prices reasonable, giving space to locals, and reducing the homeless population. I predict that in 5-10 years people will be escaping Austin in a big way.

So get ready for a housing crisis and rising crime. And don't blame the 'liberals' or 'Californians' for those issue.

When I moved to Texas, I explored Dallas, San Antonio, Houston and Austin. Chose Houston and love it. Austin's major detractors: 1) limited properties for sale and very high prices. I would have been committing to the purchase of a home that would be built in 1-1.5 years WITHOUT having a set price on the property at the time of signing the contract. 2) It's the only city in Texas that has California-style homelessness and urban blight (those new high-rises look good until you explore the city on foot). Having lived 20 years in California, I can tell you that Austin is greatly impacted negatively by California transplants. If you're fleeing California, it might be wise to understand that the conditions you're fleeing are what you voted for.

Your governor is actively recruiting California based companies to relocate to Texas, specifically Austin as a new tech hub. Expect housing prices to continue to increase, traffic to get worse and the social problems that come with wage disparity pushing those living on the edge to wind up pushing shopping carts and living in pop-up tent cities. Success has its price.

California really needs a channel promoting it… California is not all skid row or the tenderloin… every time I see it on the news or videos discussing California it’s the same couple of streets that are really bad in the most expensive cities. Most states are worse off compared to California and most places in California are really nice if you don’t hyper focus on those same couple of streets. I was in SF the other day and it’s so nice in most of the city. Good weather, amazing food, clean and safe places to walk and take in unique culture and meet nice people… but the news never goes outside of the few streets that have it the worst. Also if you go outside of LA and silicone valley people are chill and nice. Places like Indiana, Maryland, St. Louis, Jacksonville these places are way worse off … my theory is California is a political symbol of the left wing of neoliberal capitalism and it has gone against the old money on the east coast so it gets extra scrutiny. The Republican Party easily fixated on it as well so there is a lot of interest in painting it as failed political symbol, California is actually hyper capitalist wealthy enclave and the inequality comes from big business and old people blocking new housing

I guess the bad rap couldn't be from the highest state taxes in the country. It could not be the democratic leaders you vote in that pass green energy regulations that prevent new housing from being built. It couldn't be the free healthcare you now provide to illegal l immigrants off the backs of taxpayers. I guess you don't drive thru the neighborhoods in Los Angeles too much to see tent cities throughout the city. Not visited the parks in San Diego being overrun with homeless people. I guess the policy of providing 600 month and a free phone to anyone who asks for welfare does not attract every bum in the country to come. Could not be any of that.
@StardustMonkey
@StardustMonkey 7 месяцев назад
What I am saying is capitalism creates this eveywhere it succeeds… California is extremely capitalistic and overly successful its full of millionaires that buy all the real estate and drive the price up… the market has driven up costs and near the wealth there is very little land. I develop real estate here and I can tell you the cities and state want to build housing but they get sued constantly by the wealthy people here whenever anything is built near them. That makes the entire process super tedious and zoning is hard to change. It has almost nothing to do with environmental regulations or democrats. The environmental regulation is not even an issue like you guess or have been told by people who do not know what they are talking about. Additionally All the other states pay to send their homeless here. My friend from highschool was stabbed 47 times by a psychopath that was sent here on a free one way ticket by the Baltimore police department to get rid of him. Most of the state is very very nice and people who get used to it here do not want to leave. I am reminded every time I travel around that there are only a few pockets outside of California that I would consider moving to even though it was so challenging to improve my financial situation to afford it here. The taxes are not that bad either I often only pay a couple thousand in state taxes per year but I pay 20-30k in federal taxes. As well are property taxes are much lower than Texas look it up ;)… the issue here is the wealthy block housing and bid up prices in desirable areas because it’s so nice here… then the builders who build here have to afford to live here to so the cost to construct is primarily labor the materials is very little. Don’t believe all the bullshit you see on your biased news
@RobHunziger
@RobHunziger 7 месяцев назад
So using your logic it is and will remain too expensive to live in California. According to you the zoning and wealthy people stop building. Even though they revoked the single family zoning law last year the land and materials are still too expensive to build. Median house in California is 930,000. Texas is 411,000. Yes the property taxes in Texas are higher but the house costs half what it does in California. 930 x 0.74 of assessed value is $6882 411 x1.7 of assessed value is $6980. So your tax liability in each state is the same but you can buy a house in Texas because it's 56 per cent cheaper than California. Texas does not have any problem building new houses because there zoning is building friendly. You don't get hit with 13 percent state tax.in Texas California has lost population three years in a row and there is a reason for that.
@cynthiamarquez3370

6. Property Tax is high. 7. There is really no social safety net. No MediCal. A huge part percentage of the population has zero medical coverage, because many jobs simply don't offer it and no paid family/ maternity leave unless your job offers it and again most employers don't 8. Weed is still illegal in Texas 9. Minimum wage is still 7.25 per hour 10. Ice...freezing rain is common in winter in the DFW area and points north and west and icy roads cause things like school businesses government offices and overpasses to close. 11. Critters that will eat you...gators, big cats mosquitos , chiggers, ants and critters that will just bite like various venomous snakes, scorpions, coyotes etc.

Nailed it! I’m a full blooded Texan, and have lived all over Texas. In the last few years, property values have doubled, tripled. Just eight years ago, Texas used to be an affordable place to live in any town or city. Not anymore. Texans are trying to cash in on the non-natives. It’s absurd.

I grew up in Texas and also lived in California for a long time. I left California this last time because of the taxes and the screwed up regulations and laws. I moved to Nevada. The biggest problem with people from California moving away because California is such a screwed up state is that they continue voting like Californians. Austin is probably one of the worst places to move to. Not only because of the prices but also because they have adopted California like policies.

I was born and raised in the san francisco bay area. Ive been in austin for 4 years. What i miss most is the lack of nature. There is like no natural open spaces like the bay area or california in general. People think of texas as this rustic outdoors adventureland. It couldnt be farther from the truth… I miss the open spaces that you escape to and walk/run/hike forever and reconnect with the trees and breath taking natural beauty…. I miss the ocean, beaches, etc. Overall, This area lacks natural beauty. Its boring in that respect. Its also way less cultural diverse and less food options. The crime rate in south austin is getting worse everyday. I think the crime rated nearly doubled down there in the last year. What i like about this area is that it is VERY calm and peaceful. It doesnt have that intensity and stress of the bay area. This helps balance out some of the things listed above. The one thing you need to realize about the affordable housing is that the property tax is roughly 3+%. The house prices are rising fast and this 3% chunk is huge. The heat is extreme from june-sept. Like high 90s with moderate humidity. You basically stay indoors from 10-6. Or stay in the shade. If youre into fancy coffee, you’ll love austin. The other fun thing about austin is that you have the river flowing through downtown. There are three bridges that provide a cool layout for hanging out and walking/runing through the manmade city landscape. Lots of fit people can be seen in and around the downtown river trail.

And here's the reason why. It goes back to the red/blue debate. California has tons of state parks and other PUBLIC places. Texas (outside Austin) is a vast public wasteland. It's all private property. And why? Because that's what republicans (red) wants. Red doesn't want public spaces. Texas has few state parks, zero bureau of land management areas, and just a few federal public lands (i.e. Big bend National Park). I live in west Texas; and I would love it if there were more natural areas like California has. But it's not going to happen so long as red runs the state.

I feel that what is happening in Austin is because of a lot of people from California moving into the area and bringing all of their "baggage" with them. You may not wish to talk about it but politics has a major component to it. When CA was more "balanced" politicly it was a great place to live but now not so much. People are being paid to be homeless here, they get money each month from the state as well as free smartphones. What really needs to happen is a major reset politicly and see that it the root cause. People that move and take their politics with them will kill the area just like it is here in CA. I understand and support the opinion of a vast majority of Texans. It is OK to have different opinions but to hate your neighbor just because they do not think like you think is horrible.

Great video...you nailed it. I moved from Florida 8 years ago to Austin and I agree 100% with this video. In just the 8 years I have lived here, I can see the change in the city and it's not for the good. Cost of living, toll roads, housing, weather, culture...these are all going in the wrong direction. My fiance and I are moving up north next year. I have lived in the south my entire life and I'm over it. I want four seasons. The heat here this summer was brutal...like you can't do anything outdoors. We had 60+ days of 100+ F this summer (majority of which were back to back). Throw in the lack of a solid energy grid and water issues, we are done with it. Housing used to be ok 4-5 years ago but now houses that would have been in the mid-$400K's are now in the $600K-700K+ range. If you want to get around anywhere in a decent amount of time, prepare to use the toll roads. My office is about 20 miles away and it adds up to about $10 a day in just tolls to get there in 25 mins. If I didn't take the tolls, it would take closer to an hour during rush hour. If you want to travel outside of Austin, you'll still need to take toll roads if you want to make decent time and/or avoid the constant bottlenecks on the highways (I-35 is the worst). It's a shame because I can tell this was probably a cool town to live in 20+ years ago but it's growing so fast and the old culture is dying off. The schools in Austin ISD are garbage. Definitely move to the Leander ISD if you want your kids to have a decent school. Round Rock and Georgetown are also good ISDs.

Dont get me wrong, it still has many of the things that made it awesome prior to about 15 years ago, it just seems forced these days..and the city has lost most of "small big town" charm it once had. There has always been money in Austin but in the past it peacefully coexisted with broke college students and starving musicians who somehow made enough money to live in the city. These days UT-Austin may as well be an ivy league school if parents have to help their kids with the cost of off campus housing. As for the musicians? I suppose they either have quite a commute to their 6th street gigs, or alternately live in one of the ever increasing homeless camps.

Remember Mark Twain said , " The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco ! " My sites now would be set on California's central coast . Money is really the only issue. If I could step outside on a summer day and the high was 75°, my day wouldn't be affected wondering how people voted !? People have said it a lot this year and I believe it, If you don't have a pool or own a boat ( expensive to run and maintain ) than you are a prisoner in your own house for several months . Everyone else copes by going to New Mexico or Colorado for a few weeks every summer .... But there is something about seeing and hearing that Pacific Ocean everyday . ⛵

I'm allergic to grass, mold, dust mites, etc. Essentially, I'm a year round allergy sufferer, anywhere. I take my meds, I have a neti pot, I drink as much water as possible. Insect issues vary, but bird killing sewer gas doesn't help. In the some areas they put out tabs in standing water. Some of the SoCal lake areas, the mosquitoes have been much worse this year. I'm not sure anyone is doing anything. Literally throwing out larva every morning, just giving the cats fresh water.

I remember Victor Davis Hansen talking on this, he basically said you know, it’s bad when people flee to either extreme temperatures with scorpions and snakes, or extreme cold with blizzards and snow from a mild climate like California. When you actually look into it, you see people are Truly fleeing to some of the most inhospitable climates just to get away from liberalism, which unfortunately many bring along with them. I’m kind of of the mentality if you voted for this, you should be forced to stick with it.

By now, I'm sure I wouldn't recognize my old home. But I still miss that place, something fierce! Funny story: back in the 90s, Austinites complained about all the Californians coming to Austin, driving up the home prices, and causing traffic congestion. So what did they do? Move to Bastrop, Round Rock, Marble Falls, etc. - whereupon, the residents of those little towns started complaining about all the Austinites moving to town, driving up home prices, causing traffic congestion...

As a 42 year old Austinite (born in the original Seton Hospital), this place was never as charming as magazines have stated for a decade, or more. Getting priced out of where you're from due to tax incentive invitations by morons with no foresight or gumption to increase infrastructure until it's too late, sucks big time. I spend half my pay on rent just to keep my son from attending one of our awful high schools. A lot of Californians have felt Texans don't like them. It's not you, per se. It's grossing over 80K and still unable to afford anything genuinely decent, unless you're willing to go drastically in debt buying a truly over-priced and under-built cheap American home. Californians have just been the largest emigrant group to Austin. Still some good ol' boy saltiness about the "damn liberals" in a traditionally liberal city (derp), but really, the tech industry brought the tech employees... from Silicon Valley. Simple as that. After 40 years of wage stagnation and California's insane housing market, I could never blame others for looking at a more reasonable life, financially. This is going to happen in city after city. I'm just from here and have seen the effects of overcrowding a city lacking in infrastructure. We're all just trying to make it in this failing empire. Be safe and good luck.

Everywhere has this issue. Here in Connecticut the New York invasion was for years contained in Fairfield County. The rest of the state welcomed it as it bought a lot of wealth . From the 1970s on the New York invasion spread to the rest of the state. Changing the face of the state from bucolic New England towns , farms and woods to the now forever change to urban sprawl of high cost, 2nd homes, suburbia and Liberalism. The only answer is to live as far from any urban center you can possibly find in hopes it all doesn't catch up to you.

I grew up in Houston and one summer we were at a Church Camp out near Junction. One of the questions that was asked everyone was to guess the temperature at noon. The highest guess was 89. Actually the temperature was 110, but at 20% humidity and most of us from SE Texas were used to square days - 95 degrees at 95% humidity. Several decades ago I was sent back by my employer to go through a closing at our plant in Orange, Texas and over the July 4 weekend I took the opportunity to visit my parents in Houston. I thought it was fairly comfortable and was surprised that the actual temperature that day was 107 but the relative humidity was 17% (a very dry summer for that area). As we used to say, it's not the heat that gets you, it's the humidity for the lower the humidity the cooler your skin will be.

But voting red is not better, because red give you a free license to kill each other and get away with it doesn't mean it's better. You don't get to tell us how to vote! Voting Red will forever keep you poor, uneducated, on welfare, angry and have your rights stripped away. No thank you.

Humidity is more accurate for your #4 "the density of heat". Humidity is the moisture content in the air (compare dewpoints), while density of air is due to air pressure of lower elevations (humid, dry, warm, or cold are all denser at sea level than at 4,000 ft elevation).

There are many reasons why a Texas is cheaper than California. California is the Europe of the United States. Texas is the most poluted state, they have very little regulations on industries, so the air, water and ground are toxic. California takes care of its citizen, Texas does not. The atitudes of Californias are much more relax which make evryone happy and welcome.

Thank you for the vid, Austin has good points like any other city, it all depends on what folks want to buy into. BORN and Grazed in California, Unfortunately every dog has their day and Texas will have it's. Ya'll think things stay the same, they don't; there's a season for every time. Enjoy the back and forth of Texas vs Cali it's all moot. Every nut and fruit cake will come to Austin and every other city in Texas hopefully you grow old before it happens and enjoy these good ole days while you have them. I lived in Houston for 5 years nice times. But Houston today is done! Pretend it's the same it's not. So goes the US, find your corner of the world and enjoy you life, no matter where that might take you, it's an adventure. Everyday above ground is a good day. Texas ❤ vs Cali Love. Good folks in both states of mind.
