Review of Austin, Texas


LIVING IN HELL IN ARIZONA
Star Rating - 7/12/2007
I currently live in New River which used to be the outskirts of Phoenix, however Phoenix is taking over the area fast. The air quality here is horrible, the summers are getting hotter, traffic jams are an everday occurance and unless you make over $100,000 a year don't try to buy a home here. So I have been taking a look at Austin and some of the surrounding cities. I have read many blogs on the good and the bad and it seems that Austin is a city that is about 10 years behind Phoenix. I only hope that the planners in Austin take a look at all the things that have gone wrong here and learn from it. I am planning a visit to Austin this summer and hope to be able to call it my new home soon. If you hate Austin try Phoenix it's like hell on earth!
