Star Rating - 4/1/2007
I moved from California to Dallas, then after 6 months to Austin since a family member bought a house here. While everyone insisted Austin was the greatest place ever, I had reservations being as that I saw very bad traffic and in my opinion the downtown is about half hotels and there is a lack of corporate HQs as compared to say Dallas. That said, AUstin has very low unemployment and is very safe even at night compared with Dallas, hands down better than Sacramento, CA and much nicer people. Its not the total package but its pretty close.
