Review of Austin, Texas


Generally clean air and water in abundance

The thing I like about Austin and its microclimates. ..is there are more than just a few natural swimming areas...lakes, rivers and creeks,public pools that are spring fed.Also there are caves and crevices to be explored. This is the gateway to the hill country after all.
Too bad everybody else has heard of it too or has come here to go to college or go to SXSW and consequently moved here. It has brought the traffic and the rent prices to skyrocket and finding parking downtown is a miracle.
I like my little spot here but I know as a renter it won't last forever...looking for the next big thing!
