  • Living In Austin - Today I am going to dissect exactly what has happened to make Austin drop down from the #1 city to live in in all of the US, to #40. Some are over it. Some still adore this magical city.
    In my opinion, Austin, is still super awesome place to live and in this video I will be giving you all 4 reasons why Austin is still a fantastic city to call home. I will also give you the scoop on why I think it dropped down to #40 on Nationally Ranked List for places to live in the US.

    I am moving to Austin literally next month haha it can't be that bad! Yes I'm coming from CA. I'd be willing to bet that the traffic and homelessness in Austin does not even come close to what it is in California. I've lived in Sacramento, Los Angeles, Orange County, the SF Bay Area, and its absolutely out of control everywhere. I am looking forward to living in a new city and state and can't wait to explore Austin!!
    I love your videos and your energy! Keep up the great work !

      I just moved from the Bay Area in June! I don’t find the traffic to be nearly as bad as CA but my commute to work is only 1 mile haha! It seems like the homeless has gotten better over the years and i mainly see them under bridges and such. It’s such a fun outdoorsy city and I’m excited to really get out and explore once this intense heat simmers down.

      @@jnklein love to hear that! I'm currently in Monterey, CA so I've been enjoying prob the best weather in the nation during these summer months. I'm sure that heat is going to be a rude awakening but nothing I haven't experienced before living in Sacramento, Las Vegas, etc. I also work remote so I don't think traffic will bother me too much. Glad to hear you're enjoying Austin so far, especially coming from a fellow Californian :D

      Hey Giovanni, Welcome to Austin! I am so glad to hear that you see the value and quality of life that Austin still offers. You're totally right about the homeless situation, it really doesn't compare. It's also been cleaned up a ton in Austin over the last two years.
      Hope you settle in quickly and get to enjoy this fun town to the max!

      @@jnklein Agreed, the humidity here isn't nearly as bad as it is in Florida. I used to spend a lot of time in Florida during the summers and was always so angry when I got there because the humidity is SO uncomfortable. Hahah! I don't think people people really get used to the hot weather here, but there are so many other trade offs that make it worth the move.

    I've been in the area for about a decade now, and there have definitely been changes. But I think there's also so much variety that you can make of it what you will. As of right now I still enjoy being here, and don't have any compelling reasons to leave!
    On a completely unrelated note, have you ever played any city-builder games like Sim City of Cities: Skylines? I think it could be funny to use a game like that in a sketch, and say something like "Wait, this isn't Austin! Let's get back to reality!" Just a random thought...

    Moved here on a whim in April 2020 when the pandemic hit. I was actually surprised about the homelessness and how bad it was even in North Austin where I moved to. I still think the area as a whole is one of the best places to live in the US. We're in the middle of the state and within driving distance of the other major Texas cities. There's a decent bit of everything here (i.e. it's not the #1 food city in America but you can find something here that hits your particular pallet) I think with remote work here to stay and return-to-office mandates failing, the migration will slow down a bit.

    • @AustinTX
      @AustinTX  10 місяців тому

      Hey there !
      That feels like a really accurate assessment to me.
      You’re right, the homeless camps got super bad for a large portion of the pandemic.
      I also agree about the food scene, if you want the best quality and variety, I feel like Houston is the spot. 🙃🙃
      It’ll be interesting to see how migration numbers are affected by #1- company lay offs and #2- people having to go back to their office.
      Where did you move from? 😊😊

      Es cierto y muy triste. Siento que los distritos están abusando de la gente que han construido la cultura de esta cuidad.
      Y por su codicia nosotros somos los que sufrimos 🤬
      Austin ha crecido bastante sobre los últimos años y tiene el potencial para seguir creciendo. Pero con esos impuestos que ya parecen multas, nos están poniendo frenos.
      MUY MUY mal!!

    Land value taxes better than prop tax.
    But the prop taxes are keeping prices of houses reasonable else they go to millions like sf bay area and no one can afford it then except super wealthy.
    No income tax makes sense wealth creation is not punished
    Curbing land speculators is important

    I too love Austin's butt but coming from Chicago I had all these high hopes on austin although it is a nice little town I. Never heard of San Antonio too much, but the Alamo and and San Antonio actioh. My God actually turned out to be a more family orientatell.
    Somewhat Of what I'm looking for me and my family, and actually has a lot more to do than just go to the water.
    San Antonio as well as the only. Sing park directed handicap people in the world. San Antonio also is the only city that is connecting all the major works around the city and you could. Bike run Which you could use the trail to rent bikes or run. When I lived in Austin? The only thing that I could do on my day off is hit the river water. There is a lot more to do in San Antonio. Not to mechinned when family comes in from outer town. There's a lot more places to take family and friends.
