You make some valid points! It's interesting to see how different countries are approaching the transition to electric buses. A balanced mix of options could definitely be the way forward.

I completely understand your perspective! The changes in Austin have been quite significant over the years. It’s always a challenge to see a place evolve so much.

It’s definitely a different vibe in Texas! The vast spaces can be surprising, but it’s part of what makes the state unique. Hope you’re enjoying your visit!

It's definitely a complex situation, and many people have strong feelings about the changes in Austin.

I understand where you’re coming from! The language we use can really shape our perceptions.

The median home price in Akron, Ohio is $140k. The affordable shortage is more about the popularity of certain areas vs others.

For the record I don’t think its going to be a 2008 crash But for hot markets that were up 100% or more in 4-5 years These are the beginning cracks If you really need to buy a home wait until they are 15-20% lower then top If you dont but would like to own You might see 25-30 for a blip

It sounds like you have some strong feelings about Abbott!

That’s not talked about enough - the difference between being woke and waking up.

Transplants from CA would disagree

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts

Thanks for sharing your experiences in Austin. It sounds like your move to San Antonio has turned out well.

Thanks for watching and commenting.

It moved 8 times prior to 1839 and has been Austin ever since. Maybe it is time for a change.

That is a valid point. The increase in the land values will increase the property taxes.

Thanks for sharing your observations about Austin.

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.

Thanks for sharing your insights on the political dynamics in Austin.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the political climate in Austin

I'm glad you found the information useful.

Every county is different, some with more efficient systems but you’re probably looking at no more than 1-2 weeks

The city waived the minimum parking requirements before passing these changes.

@@SFSCharles That is a big mistake. They'll find out later.

@@SFSCharles Yes. I'm sure they did and this is a big mistake. Guess what your next big problem will be? Insufficient parking.

That's something worth checking out since every county will be different.

Look up your county name followed by fraud alert. That will take you to a free site.

You would think we would be able to implement something like that.

Thanks for watching

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Different perspectives are what make discussions like this so interesting.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s always insightful to hear perspectives from those who have witnessed these changes firsthand.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's interesting to hear different perspectives on living in Austin.

You raise a valid point! It’s interesting to see the market trend towards larger homes despite the demand for more affordable options. It makes you wonder about the future of housing development!

@@SFSCharles the only thing I can think of is they figure worst case, eventually some families willing to have multiple generations and pool income will buy the home - or many will buy on the limits of their “qualified range”, regardless if its a bad idea.

@@Ultrajamz Or the one that no one wants to talk about - if demand for those types of properties decreases, prices will follow.

It sounds like you have strong feelings about the leadership in Austin! It's important to find a place that aligns with your values and lifestyle.

Thanks for watching.

There's a yellow rose in Texas I'm going down to see.

Is this the lineup for the next big event? I’m intrigued!

Thank you for sharing your experience! It's important to highlight these issues, and your perspective sheds light on the challenges many workers face in today's economy.

@@SFSCharles Thanks for responding! I worked at Dell, and Sears Teleserve in between 1998-2002. I realized why the housing market, job market and politics were all connected. I wasn’t trained to deal with the office politics, social graces, and the lack of ADHD, Autism awareness, with other slow learning, and unacceptable social issues that were going on. Most of these areas I’m aware of; are pro-Islam and Neo-Pagan, from my point of view. Yet the living standards and prices were 20-40% higher than Waco, Temple and Killeen combined. I’m a native west Texas resident from El Paso, from 1992-1997 at Texas State Technical College in Waco. Dell did create a Dell Jewish Community Compound in a gated walled part of Northern Austin. The saying goes.. “Money talks louder, than cheap words..”

@@lawnmowermanTX I worked for Dell in the 2002-08 timeframe, just after that shift to foreign tech support tanked their customer satisfaction. A lot has changed since then.

@@SFSCharles Unfortunately not for the best. 😿😿💔💔💔

Thanks for your input! It’s always great to see people engaging with such an important topic.
