I’ve lived in Austin for a few years. It’s a great place for jobs and young people. It’s one the prettier areas of Texas with beautiful nature. It’s very warm in the summer but the rest of the year is nice. If you are coming just to visit, don’t come in the summer unless you like sweating a lot.

Austin leans to the progressive side in many ways, but it's in the middle of a very, very, very conservative state with an economy built on oil and gas production.

Thats the thing tho.. Red states tend to be more poorer/welfare states/low cost of living, they don't bring in much money, they are easy to survive in, as I live in one too, I don't mind living here, its cheap, but lot of low wage jobs, no real innovation here. While when you see modernization that liberalism brings in with tech/higher wage jobs/higher cost of living/surplus of money towards the state, which makes homes more costly, property/taxes, greedy politicians, it only takes time til it becomes like any expensive liberal city. If your able to survive in those areas, that goods, need the skills; no skills, the odds of homeless much higher.

As an Austin native born at the original Seton Hospital, and a LBJ by way of McCallum high school alumni, I can honestly say it has been nothing short of amazing watching the transformation of this great city. However, I do miss a lot of the Black owned businesses with which I grew up. Due to massive gentrification in certain areas, Austin has definitely taken on a new vibe in parts of the city that use to be much more laid back and some areas just flat out dead. But a few things I love about my hometown include the “Big city” experience with the small town feel; the Black Chamber of Commerce, the great support the city gives to local musicians, SXSW Film/Music Festival (amazing), and I can’t leave out our boy… Matthew McConaughey!!😊

I loved loved LOVED Austin when I visited there, but compared to Nashville, I just don’t know how they can claim to be the live music capital of the world. I saw some great live music there, but there’s WAY more live music in Nashville. Not knocking how cool Austin is and how talented the few bands I saw there were.

[@DanielOchoa23]

Born in Texas, spent 30 years in Austin until recently moving out of state. There's been a lot of negative changes in Austin since I was a kid but that's not why I left. The mosquitos, unbearable heat + humidity, lack of open spaces in Texas (all land is owned by someone and private besides parks), traffic, backwards legislation that Texas govt passes to bring the state back to the 1800s (I'm Independent not Democrat before anyone assumes something), and lack of access to real medical marijuana. The heat is bad. It could be 10pm and still be 98°. The party scene, entertainment, and food scene in Austin is second to none. So if you can live with the above problems then new-Austin is for you. I've left out cost of living increases as it didn't affect me since I'm in tech but it's definitely a problem for anyone not in that field. Happy to answer any questions for anyone on the fence of moving there

[@andrewfreeman88]

I used to swim at Barton Springs almost every day. Those waters are magical. When the days came that I was unable to find a parking spot at the springs at 10a.m in the morning anymore, I knew it was time for me to leave the city. Now that Austin is turning into L.A., I am so glad that I did.

[@mickeyvanderhoof8889]

How about an anecdote? At the time I was living in Houston. I visited Austin because the first (!) game developers conference was being held there. Anyway, while I was going to the event, the cab driver bragged about Austin being a hill country. Being from Turkey, I said "Pal, what you call hills here... we call them bumps on the road". I know Texans love everything big, but that day I was the winner ;o)

[@UntamedAustin]

Looks great looking in from the outside and the videography here is lovely. No mention of the SEARING HEAT. If. you walk outside between June and Sept you can plan on a healthy sweat within 10 minutes. There are lots of places to eat, but the crowds in certain areas will wear you down. Austin is absolutely TRAFFIC HELL. You did a pretty good job of not filming the Traffic. As mentioned in many comments the Property Taxes are INSANE. And while the Climate is good in late fall to spring the Political Climate is STORMY all of the time. So many Draconian Rules. It's like stepping back to 1970's. The same locals spots are featured in video after video. Austin is only COOL if you are within a close distance to the Downtown Area... move up north 5 or 10 miles and it gets pretty boring. Move West and you get to the Expensive Homes. Move South an same as moving North. Austin is a GREAT place to VISIT. There are some very weird bugs here I have seen nowhere else. So many people want to move here drawn in on these kind of non-realistic productions that only emphasize good stuff (Credit due however for showing the Homeless and talking about the Shooting - In a very weird like al is well kind of way). YMMV. I like it and I hate it. It is what it is. PRACTICE EMPATHY! Yeah this is a 2nd comment... I wanted to see how many more people have looked at this as it seems to be the main video promoted by KZbin.

Ive lived in Austin my entire life, since 79. I saw the golden era of live music in this town. Back in the 90s you could walk down 6th or Red River any night of the week and hear bands playing in every venue. If i liked the way a band sounded id walk in and pay like $5 cover and listen to some small band with loads of tallent. This does NOT exist in austin anymore. We are not the live music capitol of the world anymore and havent been in a decade. SXSW and ACL on its own doesnt make us the Live Music Capitol. The City of austin leadership[ sold out to the developers and KILLED live music in this city. now its commercialized hot trash.

[@andyokus5735]

Sounds like America.

[@gooble69]

"I saw the golden era of live music in this town..." Like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

[@youngyeller]

Austin is nice. It's relatively safe for a city its size (although crime is increasing) and there's a ton of things to do. If you're coming from the mountain West or the Ozarks, the Hill Country can be a little disappointing and traffic is insane!

[@milsurprifles]

Murders up 230%

[@gooble69]

"crime is increasing" Seems to be a pattern when liberals move in to town. California used to be a nice place to live when it was a red state, then the liberals took over and decided that arresting criminals was rAcIsT and they act surprised when crime skyrocketed. Austin has slowly be turning bluer and bluer and what do you know, crime rates are up there too. Join the dots folks. You left California for a reason, don't bring your failed policies with you.

[@texaswunderkind]

If you're coming from anywhere with mountains, trees, water, ocean, or grass, Austin can be extremely disappointing. I had never seen a soccer field with just dirt until I moved to Austin.

Austin today isn't what it was or what it was know for. Back then rent was super cheap, no name musicans and garage bands could afford a decent living. Once the wealthy from out of state started buying up all the property and raising the market value of homes made it hard for musicans to afford a place to live. Now it's also including SIN workers. Most people who work hotels and restaurants can't afford to live here either. The one thing that made this city great is the one thing that will destroy its beauty.

[@kristopheraleman]

That happened to Manhattan and San Francisco, and more cities. They were affordable and livable before, and had more character, but the rich capitalists come in, buy everything and jack up the rent. It’s just going to get more intense.

This is all true. I used to rent years ago in town for $900/month and the person who rented before was a friend and they paid $700/month. Have fun finding anything central now for under 2k month. Two bedrooms are in the 3k/month range

Now, within the past 2 years so many people I knew had picked up and left because rents are now close to $1500 right outside of downtown and the average person can no longer afford it
