Austin, Texas

A once quiet, laid-back, friendly small Texas city populated mainly by native Texans and UT students. A very attractive and pleasant place, full of culture, great food, a great music scene, and nonstop nightlife, but a climate of brutal summers lasting 6 months out of the year and bipolar winters that can be anywhere from 10-90 degrees. Until the 1970’s, many people outside the south commonly known as “Yankees”, decided to move there and kept their personalities and culture of perceived unfriendliness, hostility, and indifference. And for the past 20-30 years, it has now become a very progressive city full of culture and pretentiousness, but now an overcrowded and overpriced cesspool with nonstop traffic from 5:00 a.m to 1:00 a.m. and middle-classes flocking to Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Leander on the north side and Buda and Manchaca on the south side. Westlake Hills remains the upper middle class white flight area it has been since the 1970’s.
