Review of Aust,


Nasty s***hole
Star Rating - 10/2/2018
I used to live in Dall-ass and have been to Austin 6 times over the span of 10 years.
We recently reconsidered relocating to Austin. My sister graduated from UT, which turned her into a smug, liberal, know-it-all, yuppy-scum monster. We decided to pay her a visit, look at properties and consider relocating.

Many of you reviewers are spot on! Austin is a filthy, disgusting city filled with puke puddles from Congress right into 6th street. Lots of strung-out homeless. People dress slovenly. I've never seen so many men in flip flops! UGH!

Witnessed a man from my hotel room stumble drunk and vomiting out into the street. Airport was run down. Dirty, old looking buildings. Nothing was new or shiny. Giant frat town. Let's not forget INSANE property taxes. $15,000 on a $350k house? No thanks!

Silly little, inexperienced frat boy Patrick has no idea what he's talking about. Here's info taken off realtor.com for a $350,000 priced home - tax history for 2017 was $6,731. Obviously higher for this year. Go back to UT and study harder, little snowflake.

That is $1240 a MONTH not a year.

They might all wear flip flops because it's 100+ degrees outside! You ever think about that?

Oh mercy me! *clutches pearls* Men in flip flops! And, how horrible, an educated populace. Dag nab those people with their knowing things! Perhaps a little of that education would help you with your math on taxes. The tax rate is .3542 per $100. That come out to $1,240 per year on that $350,000 home.
