Very informative video. Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful.
The ice bags story is not a good one to judge the education quality of the local area. This was one example, but too isolated to label the whole town. You asked for 30 pounds, and her question was a valid one. Did you want 28 pounds (under 30), or 35 pounds (to meet the goal of 30). Can you look at SAT scores instead?
Just my personal observation. Some of the context was lost in translation. That attitude was of utter confusion.
@@AustinTexasLiving probably because they didn't carry that size and it was an unusual request. But I find we tend to ask folks to do the math even if we know how to do ot. Great video
You should look at the public school ratings by zip code, Its just a massive gradient from east to west worst to best. This isn't specific to austin but it gives a really clear picture of what the education is like here and how just living on the east side can put you in a much worse situation in terms of education and financial support.
Agreed with Lisa. Most Austinites will just give you a snarky response if you ask for 30 lbs of ice. Don’t make the cashier do the math. That’s a bit much.
SAT scores are not reliable. I honestly think we need to do away with those SAT tests.
"Skittles and rainbows", I like that expression 👍
By the way, these videos are fire, and for what it's worth I think you should ramp up the energy and quirkiness even more. Have you ever considered doing live-action skits?
Im a 4th Gen Austinite and I laughed at the Heat and gun complaint . I used to run on Townlake in my eary 20s in the middle of summer , never thought it was a big deal but yeah ppl thought I was crazy . Growing up here there were 300k ppl and we are over a 1,00,000 now , miss that small town feel .
Audtinite huh???? Thats what you guys call yourselves... i like it.
Temps have been increasing! Maybe it wasn’t that bad then!
@@AustinTexasLiving I'm not too sure about everything with climate change, but I think it could be possible we're in some kind of an environmental cycle and temps will go back down someday. In any case, the Austin area can indeed get hot!
From September to May you can probably live in a van in Austin, but June thru August would be too warm to sleep for most people, unless you can adjust to the humidity. I once knew someone who waited until everyone went home, then slept in the office. He also had a vehicle he slept in when the weather was cooler. Motel parking lots are usually good places to overnight in, but choose a different motel every night - lots of different vehicles come and go.
I've never had to overnight in a vehicle, but I can imagine it wouldn't be pleasant. I hope that person has a nice place to stay now.
As a Seattle resident. We feel your pain.
We relocated to the Kitsap Peninsula from Austin 2 years ago. Have zero interest in going back…absolutely love it here.
Summer sounds amazing! Thinking of moving there. It's actually not that humid - 63% compared to SE Asia and even north Australia is real humidity.
If you think the summers sound good, you should definitely check it out! Yes, SE Asia is much more humid. Austin is more live-able than that! When are you thinking about moving?
Out of curiosity, did you ever end up moving to the area?
@@PunmasterSTPunfortunately not. I missed out on a visa opportunity
@@haych27I'm really sorry to hear that, and I hope that you can still come over some time!
@@PunmasterSTP yes, one day I'll visit. Make sure you're there for the eclipse in April. It's an amazing phenomenon to experience
Yup. I graduated from a school in Austin in 1990 and houses were super affordable. Like from $50k and up. Teachers and police could afford to live in Austin then. I eventually left Austin after graduation and moved back years later only to find rent had gone up. I kept moving apts every year when my lease was up because the apt management would tend to add a monthly increase of $50-$100 just because I had a dog! When I left Austin 16 years ago to move to Kansas, I was paying $600 a month for a 422 sq ft apt and I was told last month the same apt rents for $1,300 a month! My 3 bedroom 2.5 bathrooms 2 living areas, full kitchen and basement on 1/4th of an acre...I paid $124k (it was a former hoarder house and it's been fixed up here and there now) and my property taxes are around $1,500, I believe. My house payments which include house payment, property tax, and house insurance totals around $900 a month. When I left Austin 16 years ago, the average house price was $150k and starting to climb. My sister still lives there and still hasn't had her property. She rents. So does my best friend's brother who has lived there 25 years and he's been with the IRS for 23 years. He still can't afford a house. Very crazy when you think about it! IF I move back to Austin (I still really like the town though), I would probably live in Dripping Springs, New Braunfels and south of Austin. I might even consider San Antonio. The interesting thing though is I am also considering Kentucky! Low crime rate, quiet communities, mountains (esp the eastern part of the state) and there are jobs to be had. I'm planning to visit Kentucky sometime in 2023.
Thanks for sharing, Ted! Yeah the hill country of Dripping Springs and New Braunfels is gorgeous. And 30-45 minutes to downtown - not too bad. Plus, much more affordable. I do love the mountains, but there's something about the Austin vibe that I miss when I'm gone. My husband and I bought out house 10 years ago (thank goodness!) and have watched the market explode since.
I never knew ear infections can be caused by allergens, but I get those constantly despite keeping good care of my ears. And I'm not talking about my ear is a little swollen, im talking about 101-102 degree fever and my ear is swollen completely shut. And even regular allergy attacks prevent me from leaving the apartment, its almost as bad as the flu especially when the sinus headache hits. If you live here BUY SUDAFED doesn't matter if its prescription or over the counter it will save you BIG TIME.
Hate Allergies. Used to have none. But that didn't last long and it gets worse over time.
Yeah, same. I live in the larger surrounding area and the last couple years the Cedar fever has been a bit more unpleasant for me.
It's not just heat... it's the HEAT INDEX! Humidity boosts how hot it effectively is, by double digits. We had 100 Days over 100o in 2011. Drought and heat combined to kill between 300-500 Million Texas trees. The ATX weather included: "Blue Northers"; Polar Vortices; Hurricanes; Tornados; Floods; Wildfires; lots of Hail (Note: we decided to keep foam rubber, bungees and bicycle helmets in our car, to avoid the bodywork expense). We saw it all. Got the Hell OUT of Tejas, after 2013 🦇🦇🦇
I agree! The heat is serious.
I agree with you about the heat. This summer was really bad - the worst one I remember, and I've been here since 2006.
Yea I hate how fast Austin has grown. I’m from the eastside. 15 years ago the eastside had small houses and it was the worst neighborhood to live in when it came to Austin. Now those houses are all gone and replaced. Looks way different now. No nostalgia when I drive down those streets
It’s definitely a different community now
Yeah that used to be the Hispanic part of town. I worked for Casa Verde Builders for a year. Got ripped off because they wouldn't award me the scholarship. I have no idea why and I had to buy some washer and dryer and they wouldn't pay me back. Last I heard, Casa Verde Builders went out of business. Good riddance.
I agree on the heath, it will become only worse......but as a potential expat from Norway, I liek the politics. I have to live in a blue city. Can yo u tell med what town would you recomend ? I also , as a musichan like teh "live sceen" , I pal nto play som jazz and fusion-blues music, ....but it scares me, when you say it became polished, and maybe not so much live but syth/ EDM shit music. well. I hopw someone can give an advice :)
Me I'm from New Mexico I do get some recommendations to live in Texas
Did you ever consider moving here?
The property tax in Austin must be one of the reasons.
From TCAD's evidence document after I filed protest, I found out that TCAD appraised home value without time adjustment on comparable sales. That's completely wrong for a peaked then trended down market in 2022. Your home appraisal value will be heavily depends on the sold date of the comparable sales. TCAD's chief appraiser Marya Cigler should take responsibility for this mass scaled mistake. She is incompetent for her job and should be removed from her position. Williamson CAD did a better job by applying time adjustment on comparable sales, making home appraisal value matching real market value on 1/1/2023.
Market conditions and time adjustment analysis are critical for any appraisal and is done to establish any rates of market appreciation or depreciation that took place during the time frame that spans the collected sales. The January 1st appraisal date is a specific point in time, so sales transacted before this date must be examined and adjusted to reflect any changes that may have occurred since then. Without time adjustments, the sale prices of properties selected in sale comparison grids will reflect the market conditions as of the date when they were sold, rather than the January 1stvalue of similar real estate.
With a sudden macro environment change in 2022, time adjustment to the comparable sales is the most critical, but TCAD ignored it.
TCAD should recall the mistaken notice of appraisal and re-do their appraisal, instead of having homeowners to protest. Chief appraiser, MARYA CRIGLER should take responsibility for this mistake. This mistake is on a large scale and affected most homeowners in Travis County.
It’s insanely unsafe. I moved and since I left nobody aggressively panhandled me. It’s too expensive to feel that hunted.
The only good thing Austin has is their concerts. Sucks how many bands skip over San Antonio as that place has a bigger hotspot for fans.
I’m born and raised in Austin, and I want to get out. Don’t move here.
Aww I'm sorry you don't like it here. Where are you thinking about moving to?
Ditto. Well said.
STOP SPREADING VIBES MABYE THE PLACE YOU LIVE IN ISN'T GOOD BUT YOU SHOULDN'T SAY THAT IT HURTS PEOPLES FEELING SO STOP HATING IT NOT RIGHT STOP ACTING LIKE ITS A DEATHTRAP!!!
DON’T MOVE TO AUSTIN!!! I moved to Austin in 1971 to attend the University of Texas. The city was a paradise. Imagine this: 250,000 population with 50,000 college students and the main employers in the city were the University of Texas and a state government controlled by Democrats. We were the ‘liberal’ oasis inside of conservative Texas. Rents were cheap. I rented my first apartment for $200 per month. There was lots of live music, restaurants, and other fun things to do. People were easy-going, welcoming, and friendly. Traffic was quite reasonable. Rush hour lasted about 30 minutes. You could be the only car on a major thoroughfare. For me it was the perfect city-small enough to get around and escape but big enough to provide everything you needed.
Now just the opposite is the case. The population of Austin is pushing 1,000,000 and the entire metro-population is almost 2,500,000. We are still struggling to get by on the road system that was largely in place when I moved here, and all the modern improvements to the road system turn out to be toll roads. We have a continuous rush hour that never stops. It can take hours to get to and from work and going anywhere between 7 o’clock in the morning until about 8 or 9 o’clock at night can be a very aggravating experience. Don’t think that public transportation will offer relief. Expect public transportation to take twice as long because the buses are stuck in the same traffic as the cars and giant ‘man’ trucks. That’s why drivers in Austin drive very aggressively and are angry all the time. Housing is very expensive and continues to go up. My friends that rent are paying $1700 to $1800 per month for one bedroom apartments. Soon their rents will be above $2000 per month. Wages are low. After all, Texas is a ‘right to work’ southern state. If you don’t have an elite high-tech job, expect to live in poverty. Live entertainment still exists but expect to be packed in like sardines and driving for hours in heavy traffic to get there and later to escape. Austin’s ‘liberality’ is eroding in a very hateful and draconian state.
So, don’t expect to be welcomed if you move here. People trapped in a city that doesn’t work for them with no relief in sight resent the people that move here and just make things worse.
do you commonly see people open carrying in Austin? I haven't seen it yet, been here since 2020. I stayed away from the downtown protests and recall the shooting of the guy carrying an AK-47 but still, it's not like I go to HEB and see somebody carrying a gun.
I don't see it very often, but I see it more than I'm comfortable with. And I don't really like the pro-gun mentality that you hear/see sometimes.
@@AustinTexasLiving describe what you've seen. Somebody with a rifle just walking around? Somebody with a visible holster?
@@steezli I live in Austin and it’s more in likely a holster.
@@jasminemoon9965 lived in Austin for two years and live in Round Rock now. Never seen anybody carrying a gun whether in a visible holster or somebody carrying a rifle
I lived there for 15 years they used to have an annual march down sixth during the day carrying full automatic not what I'm into but hey it's texas once the East side was dead i left I was working as a chef in some of the best restaurants and couldn't afford to live it actually destroyed a six-year relationship. RIP ATX
Seems like property tax should never get past 1%.
I grew up in San Antonio (1957-1986)and now live in The Colony (Frisco area). The property taxes here suck, BUT. In states with an income tax your money disappears in the state budget and no one will ever know what happens to it. That's just like your federal taxes. My biggest tax is School Tax. That goes to the local school district so its spent within 10 miles of your home for education and facilitates. City tax is next and that pays for your police and keeps the pot holes filled. There is a Major Metropolitan Transportation Tax if you live in one of six major metro areas. That pays for the trains and buses. The sales tax, 4.5% I think, is what the state operates on. In California you have a state income tax of some 13%, plus sales tax, property tax and some places city income tax. And no one knows where all that money goes. So taxes here are high but you can see where the money goes and you can hold mayors, county commissioners and school board members responsible at the ballot box.
That's a great point! Thank you for sharing!
I just came from a video on this channel called "Why You Should Move to Austin", and now I'm at a video called "Don't Move to Austin" 😆
I think the biggest problem with Austin is not growth per se, but affordability. I *want* everyone who wants to live in Austin to be able to live there. The question is whether Austin can grow in a way that keeps costs low enough for those who are already there, or is the influx of people going to drive up the prices for everybody, new and old alike. And yes, it is very sad that Austin's rising housing costs are pushing out the very kinds of people who made Austin's culture special and great. That said, at least when I lived in Austin from 2016 to 2020, I was still able to find plenty of that weird Austin culture - "boho", as you call it.
I actually like Austin's warm summer nights! It sounds like the heat is really bad this year though. I never had a particularly huge problem with allergies when I was in Austin, but I still had to take allergy medication to deal with a different problem: mosquito bites! I never saw anyone carrying guns around either. As a matter of fact I don't remember seeing a single gun in my entire time there.
Bro Austin is one of the best cities in America… But it’s a lot like LA in a sense of if you don’t know anyone out here, then you will be lonely in ATX and that’s just a fact. i would recommend finding people actually FROM the city… & stick wit a group too at all times especially being a woman… crime here is rising rapidly due to all the people from new cities moving here
Yes, you do have to make friends! Join club, learn a new skill, find other people you have something in common with. Meetup groups are great. My husband and I have a great community at our Muay Thai gym - just find some people who you have something in common with.
The ice bag story, the no mountains, and the gun thing was completely ridiculous, but pretty much everything else was on point. She totally left out the traffic trash, homelessness, insect infestations, shitty roads, and parking.
LOL about your fear of guns.
Been living here for 2+ years.. relocated from Arlington, VA.
Austin is an absolute gem of a place to VISIT...
And Austin is a great place to live IF YOU HAVE TO LIVE HERE (i.e. If you have to come here for work, school, starting a business)
I work from home and can live anywhere in the states and for me personally, Austin is wayyyy too liberal (like, noticeably liberal, like people wearing "DONT TREAD OF ME" Ovary shirts), getting more and more expensive by the day, and getting way too crowded. Traffic is just horrendous and there are multiple accidents on the highways everyday, when finally get to your destination you have to wait in line (especially in the summer) to do ANYTHING. OR try to find parking - good lord.
Also... I guess I am not coming from NY or CA but everyone says people are "so friendly here".... furrows brow I would never say this is a "southern hospitality type of town" by any means. People aren't going to stop and ask you how your day is or anything (and the people that do... are the true Texans, which are like 1% of the people here). People aren't down-right rude and mean but they aren't particularly altruistic either... not like when you go to the Carolinas or conservative midwest.
Negative Nancy... but seriously, when moving to TEXAS.. I guess I thought "Southern Living"...but I think there are just so many transplants from those fast-paced towns and that is the vibe now. Move to Fort Worth if you want slower-paced & southern hospitality, I suppose.
The BBQ is dammmmmmn good, I will give Austin that (be prepared to wait in a 2 hour line but yeah dammmmn good).. and the food in general (which now is coming from all different areas of the US and the World).
On that note, there is a reason so many people come here to visit (especially for bachelor/bachelorette parties). There are seriously ENDLESS bars and restaurants. I wish there was just more to do without having to going out and drop a dime. You only have a few options (that I know of) when it comes to outdoor activities... in comparison to places like Colorado, California, Utah, Vermont, etc.
This about sums it up:
-Lady Bird Lake & Barton Springs (swimming and SUP/kayaking)
-Zilker
-Lake Travis (for boating)
-Greenbelt
Also the dating here - geeze la weeze (not a fan - definitely a "singles" city lets just say)
Needless to say - I am moving. It is a bitter sweet because I've made some great friends but I have learned that this is a transitory city and many people come for a short time and move.
Hope this helped someone :)
Thanks for your honest feedback! I'm with you on the traffic - everyday there is an issue. And then you have to wait in lines!
Also yeah the housing crisis has gotten so bad that natives like me are either going completely broke or having to move out (also like me) and its so sad to see. I've worked with homeless co-workers, and it doesn't matter how many hours they put in, its too expensive for them and the amount of money you get for the same jobs elsewhere is ABYSMAL. I could go to Seattle, pay the same amount of rent, and earn an extra 10k per year.
Yup. And this spelling... just "abysmal", too 😩
I just went today it had been 10 yrs and I’m sad. Austin is not what it was. Sixth street is gone didn’t even smell the same.
It has changed for sure! S Congress is almost unrecognizable. 6th St smells... the same to me.
Okay, so as someone that doesn't have allergies, would rent, loves guns and the heat + growth + tech and doesn't commute with a car it sounds like there's no down sides.
The property tax argument doesn't hold water; seniors wouldn't pay income taxes anyway, so there's nothing to offset the high property taxes.
You may want to check in with your CPA. Seniors get an additional tax exemption on property taxes, but, I assure you, everyone pays taxes:
If you are at least 65, unmarried, and receive $14,700 or more in non-exempt income in addition to your Social Security benefits, you typically must file a federal income tax return (tax year 2022).
Get out of my hometown! You are the growth that changed my city!
Sorry, Mervancraig! I've lived in Austin for 10+ years and I love bringing new people in!
@@AustinTexasLivingAs a nerd and city simulator enthusiast, I kind of like seeing the development and changes over time. But I suppose it can be really good or really bad for different people depending on their situation. Ultimately I'm glad that you can help educate people about the area 👍
Austin sounds like Atlanta without the trap music
Not even in the same galaxy. Atlanta is a joke comparatively.
Austin is the kind of place where food trucks swarm abandoned parking lots and people put up posters of Ted Kaczynski on the street lamps all while somebody is outside preaching about how we're in "late stage capitalism" and america is going to collapse. All of those are real experiences
This is not just happening in Austin it is all of Texas because more people are moving here which is a good and bad thing but what I would tell people is there is no perfect place no matter we’re u go in the U.S you are going to have a problem
I totally agree - no place is perfect. I love Austin, but I don't love 100% of it. It's still my city though!
Unpredictable weather? I’ve lived here my whole life and can predict it’s going to be hot 8 months of the year.
(when "hot" means anything over 72° probably). Not true- google annual climate.
you dont need a mountain to hike here, or anywhere.
I know, I just like mountains.
Not big into hiking, but everyone needs to see the rockies at least once. I've been there a couple times, and each time the experience sticks with me for years.
@@AustinTexasLiving Out of curiosity, does Enchanted Rock qualify as a "mountain" in your book? It's one of my favorite state parks/natural areas!
the constant thumping the bg of this video was maddening. reminded me of Telltale Heart. then than other irritating on-hold-with-the-bank muzak started playing. Tiffany's voice became like the buzzing of insects over this music. painful
No.1 should be the Heat( and the humidity) because you can't do anything outside..
Funny you say that. In the east coast you can't do anything since it's always cold outside.
The heat is insane.
try being in Houston in the summer, this yr. was hell for eight weeks, no rain and one hundred temps , drought hit us hard and hit us in 2015, 2010, TX gets hotter every year it seems
@@MafiaGameVideos
No time for anything else other than Cali..
@@michaelsix9684
Yeah my buddies were saying the same thing.
100 degree summers > 60 degree summers in SF
I don't know - depends on who you ask. I love the cold.
Do you live in Austin? I live in Pflugerville. Honestly, this came across as a video made by someone talking about Austin, but not actually living in Austin. If you pointed out that those running Austin are corrupt, moronic, idiots who want this: high taxes, high crime, high rent, and basically anything awful, then you get me listening. Living just outside Austin (barely), I get zero of everything horrid happening in Austin includsing high taxes, crime, etc. Love my 2700 ft home, with pool, looking at the park, with paths everywhere, that I bought for less than $270K.
What about unproblematic people looking to move here ? Some people just want to explore more and see other places . I’m looking at Texas as a potential place but people stay downing it or saying don’t move there(because I’m black and lgbtq and it gets annoying when people project that I’m going to be assaulted / discriminated against because it’s a “red state”) . Is there a good Art scene ? I come from a place with horrible allergies so check there . Lol I also like hiking with my dog so I get where that would be a bummer . I don’t mind guns , as long as the owners are responsible , and I do think responsible owners should speak out about those who are reckless . I was looking at Austin and other areas because they said it was more greenery there as far as parks and things to do , and that it was very dog friendly, as I have two pups I have to account for as well.
These are just my personal gripes about Austin. I love living here, but it's not perfect. There is a great arts scene, lots of local businesses, a lot of community and diversity of thought. You can hike with your dog here. Austin's unofficial motto is "All are welcome." I feel this is true.
Austin is too much tech corporate now! It’s a plastic city that is unaffordable! To many people!
Yes, housing affordability has skyrocketed, are prices are coming back down to reality.
There's definitely been a tech explosion in the past few years, but the small business and independent restaurants, shops, and service companies are still here.
The other things I get except for the guns.
I mean yeah you don't know the person with the gun but how is that a problem? You don't know the people without the guns either.
And a gun is just a tool. Tools can be used properly or improperly and a mass shooter isn't gonna care either way.
Anyways as an Austinite gripes I have about the city are
1. traffic
2. road rage.
3. Propaganda this whole "This city is so perfect and everyone is just happy here and gets along as is polite!" construct/impression is just nauseating.
4. Costs of living
5. Litter
6. Rude people.
Be nice if the city was less egotistically and more honest about its problems.
Well, as it turns out, the people without guns are much less of a threat to my personal safety than people with guns, precisely because of the "tool" they choose not to carry.
I totally agree with most if your other grips about the city - traffic and road rage are crazy. Cost of living for housing is very high - but most other factors are ein line with the national average or lower. I'm visiting my parents in central FL right now and gas is $1 higher per gallon than Austin.
I haven't experienced a lot if rude people here. And most folks who move here from out of state tell me one of the things they love about Austin is that people are so friendly here.
somehow austin is great but also sucks incredibly bad at the same time.
Same as anywhere I guess. Depends on your preference.
@@AustinTexasLiving I was just kidding about the great part.
Ok, look you made videos about why you shouldn't move to austin and your only talking about one part of it there are other great parts of austin you can't just criticize it about one tiny place and hurt peoples feeling like me!!! I live in Austin and it is honestly really great I love it so much I go walking outside everyday and yes sometimes it hot but you gotta get used to it instead of making negative videos spread a good vibe and let people explore...if you don't like living there then don't yap about it just move somewhere else. Somethings in the video is NOT TRUE. I am not hating just saying don't be so negative your just being a bad vibe.
Honestly, every city is saying the exact same thing... The city sucks because x, y, and z!
These are my personal views on Austin after living her for 10+ years.
@@AustinTexasLiving I get that. What I’m saying is that there’s a video from a local like you or someone in every major city in the country. Every city sucks, apparently.
Thank you please go!
Sorry, I've been here for 10+ years andI'm sicking around! It's OK to not love everything about the place you live.
You think texas is hot then Arizona won't be for you.high home prices but very low property taxes.Maricopa gave their residents another discount on property taxes
I dont think I could do AZ! I lived in El Paso for 4 years and that was enough desert heat for me. I do love the hiking in AZ though!
Pov: you live in Austin Texas
bro stop being so rude you probably don't even live there because its actually a great place so why don't you just shut up and stop yapping about those things
AUSTIN IS AWESOME 🎉BORN AND RAISED!!!
Yes! It is! I love it here! So glad you've stayed!
So........ you would rather live somewhere where only the criminals have guns ? 🙄
Ah.,.. the common argument. Why do we have any laws at all then?
Complaining about apartments being built and complaining about housing prices... To lower housing prices you must build more housing.
It’s a tricky situation. And I don’t think anyone had a silver bullet solution. Thank you for watching.
Zero jobs. Zero friendliness. Every man for himself in Texas.
Well a lot of the points in here made no sense but I think the allergies alone might be a good enough reason not to move there.
Allergies are the real deal. This video was from my personal perspective, so sorry if it didn't make sense to you.
I want to move Austin 😁
Come on down!
Don't talk about hating austin, and you work as a realtor
Not sure what this means - these are just some things that bug me about the city. It's not perfect, but I do love it here.
It's a great city, but the cost of living isn't at all justified.
I know, the housing costs got pretty high this year. And prices have been dropping significantly since May (17%!). All of our other costs of living are at or below the national average.
Good climate for rattlesnakes ! I liked Austin! Yes too hot for humans
Austin sucks!! Didn't use to suck but yes, it really sucks now!!
The ice story is super obnoxious. Like completely turned me off to the whole video. Sounds like your husband needs therapy for his angry issues instead of berating the cashier for not having to cater to your ice needs.
Well I'm fed up with extremely liberal and extremely conservative! Whst happened to moderate middle class values? I hate Socialism and Communism!
Agree!
Do you realize if you get Social Security, use public roads/libraries/police service, etc...you're participating in Socialism but the government doesn't want to call it that because they know the uniformed masses will panic?
@@TedH71 You're right but it's gotten worse with Biden letting all these migrants in too. Arizona hospital CEO said that he's in 20 billion debt now taking care of all these damn free loaders and their babies! Biden us going to bankrupt the US even more!
You can thank the Californian's
I like Ms. Moores video and she's right on all counts. She left something out that's important to add to her story. I travel alot and have lived in Austin for 39 years. So...the thousands of dysfunctional, addicted, mentally ill, alcoholic A-holes wandering around this city now is out of control. I have no doubt everybody living here has had enough. I don't see what I see here almost anywhere else I go when I'm on the road. I've been in Miami, Tallahassee, Montgomery, Charlotte, Hattiesburg,Jackson, Shreveport and New Orleans just in the last three weeks. Whoever the City of Austin marketing genius was that tagged that line as a way to promote Austin couldn't have envisioned this bulls*"t. "Keep Austin Weird Man"....Ridiculous! Well it certainly is now and not in the cool vibe cosmic cowboy ways anybody wants. I don't think families with small children visiting Austin are ever expecting to see homeless women with no top on drunk and screaming to whatever in the middle of the afternoon in the downtown area! People here try to act like it's not that bad but it truly is absolutely worse than I've ever seen it. It's also common knowledge that law enforcement agencies in other cities will export their homeless to Austin by giving them a one way bus ticket. The latest surprise I've learned about is that homeless people use the Public Libraries to contact their homeless friends in other cities on social media to come to Austin because there's so much free help and free resources here. With that said I've been fortunate, I work hard, I make a good living and don't suffer from any of the problems that could indicate why a person would become homeless. That's not enough in America any longer either. It wouldn't take that much for anybody in America to end up on the street. How about "Keep Austin Normal." That would be a welcome change.
Year 3 with 0 allergies and beautiful Fall weather. It takes a few hours to get to 🏔️. Moved out of TX.
Take a gun safety course
Yes, this is definitely the case. So many people and families I helped move out here were tired of the restrictions in NYC and CA... but they also had been thinking about moving here anyway. COVID just gave them the extra push they needed to make it happen. Austin is already pretty blue... Texas as a whole would have to become blue for Austin to become more like portland, seattle, San Francisco etc...
@@AustinTexasLiving Portland Seattle and ssd are the worst cities in America dumb lib
Too expensive ridiculouys .
Yeah that's the main complaint about Austin right now. Good news is prices are coming down! Not sure for how long, but they've dropped by around 17% just since May 2022.
There’s too many gays and not enough trees
On God 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀. Way too many gay people. They dont even try to hide it
Lmao what a joke
What's so funny?
You said you don't feel safe seeing someone with a gun, why don't you go and get hand gum training and pack pistol and learn how to use it. Stop victimized yourself.
Then you won't feel uncomfortable. Just saying. Don't be a Alec Baldwin educate yourself on firearms. Common sense goes a long way.
🎯 Nailed it!
Bye bye move around
Don’t California my Texas
fax
Too late
Don’t Mexico my America
@@jusebacho naw Texas would be more based again more guns lol
To late Austin has become California and the quality of life has gone down hill. I no longer go downtown because of the crime. I am native POC of The Eastside, and my culture is GONE due to young rich hipsters taking over The Eastside. Austin is great for young wealthy ppl due to gentrification. I no longer have southern hospitality anymore because all you new comers have destroyed my birth city, and I wish all you new comers will go AWAY. I know you young wealthy hipsters are here to stay but a native can dream y’all will find a new city to relocate and LEAVE😢
DISLIKE!
Shut up
I have to laugh at the gun comment and the heat comment as well it's the middle of Texas did you really expect it to not be hot and two it's Texas they have guns not everyone that carries a gun is insane but you can guarantee that everyone that cares a gun in a democratic run city or state they're definitely out to get you it's definitely not the case in Texas if anything Texas has less gun crime because anyone can be packing and to say that you're afraid of it is just being ignorant in my opinion
Too much homelessness !!
I agree - we're working on improving our community for everyone.
