About Austin, Texas:
🟢 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin,_Texas
🟢 www.austintexas.org/
🟢 www.austintexas.gov/
"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 a person who has lived in Texas almost all my life, I hate the heat here. Your description of opening the oven and getting hit in the face with the blast of heat is 100% accurate.

Never let regret keep you in a relationship. I’m sure California would take you all back

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.

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.

Now if we can get them to actually move out of Austin and out if Texas what a happy day that would be!

I've lived in Texas all my life. Been in Austin for 20 years. The sad reality is the city used to be about art and music. It had charm and a small town feel in a capitol city. With the transplants those things are pushed out and the reason for coming to Austin in the first place isn't here anymore.
-
No 1 reason Californians may not want to move to Austin is the high costs that all the Californians caused by moving here in mass. Thank y'all!!

As a 68 year old native Californian, I can tell you that every time I see that our pop. is approaching 40 million, I freak the f**k out. Which brings me to the main thing wrong with CA. That is, that there are just too damn many people here. 40 years of NIMBY and R1 zoning preventing affordable housing from being built and you get a flood of homeless with no where to go. My advise to people in other states...stay put, allow people to build affordable housing and don't let NIMBY attitudes ruin 'your' state.

My parents moved us to Austin in 1963. Now, 60 years later, my sister is being forced out of her home due to the UNREASONABLY HIGH property taxes due to the inflated value of homes. It’s sad that longtime Austinites whose income is not on the same inflated pace as taxes, have to try to find more affordable housing at a great distance from here.

Californian here… been to Texas many times to visit. Never been a big fan. Even tried living in Florida for a number of years and moved back to California. Hard to beat the West Coast for me. So this will be one less Californium coming to Texas (which some will be happy about).

Humidity is the word you are looking for

Growing up on the West Coast of California, the worst part about leaving is the weather, the forests, red woods, California coastline, 4 seasons, the beauty. Everything else sucks, it's just a beautiful place to live.

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

Something people need to bare in mind regarding homelessness. It's increasing everywhere and has been for a while
-
As a former resident of both Austin and SoCal, I can attest to your honest assessment of both places. GOOD JOB!
-
Austin has changed so much in 12 years! We came to Austin from California and it’s changed so much. Many , many, many people here…very crowded. We wouldn’t mind moving to the beautiful Sierras. We spent lots of time there as kids. Btw, we are retired and property taxes will more than likely push me out if something happens to my husband.
-
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 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.
-
I’ve been helping more and more people come back to California. Everyone should do their research by watching videos like this one before moving. Unfortunately, they have to pay twice as much to buy into their old neighborhood. Great video!
