Review of Austin, Texas


OMG!!!! Austin YUCK!!!!!!
Star Rating - 12/30/2014
I have lived here 3 years, from Minneapolis. I did as much research as I could, before coming down here. I wanted the cool, laid back, Hippie, live music vibe. Austin, TX has all but lost that. Maybe South Austin has retained some of that. That part is on it's way to losing it too. Austin, TX is full of pretenious, cold hearted AHOLES from California. Ya see, companies from Cali are moving here, because they get an enormous tax break. I must mention that it is definitely a younger city. 20/30 year olds. And the men who are middle aged, act like complete imbeciles. I was reading a couple of other posts, that stated the main culture is drinking. That is the truth! If something that is totally fantastic (I will bet money it will not) does not happen to be me, by the end of my lease (rent is outrageous by the way---hello water bill!), by May 2015, I am leaving here!!!!!! Just a word to the wise!
