Quote HistoryQuoted: move anywhere in Texas beside Austin  Most of Texas thinks Austin is a shithole and wish it was in another state. Move to Austin only if you hate life and want to hate it even more. |

We left Phoenix and moved to Pflugerville (family reasons).
If you need AZ ---> TX perspective, I may be able to help as well. |

I live in a small town, Taylor, close to Austin. It was conservative ranching, railroad, farming community but Austin politics are here and growing, especially with the new 17 Billion dollar plant Samsung it building. And or industry coming as Samsung goes operational. The yokels running Williamson county and the cities got taken in big time! They are running two 42" pipelines through my neighbors cow pasture.

There are a few of us here in Austin who are conservative, but we’re outnumbered by hardcore leftists. Austin is an expensive shithole. You really don’t want to move here. I’m looking forward to getting out myself.

Outside of Austin are some great 'little' cities & towns.
Fredericksburg & New Braunfels both come to mind. Georgetown is also nice, but the Cancer of Austin creeps ever outward. 40 or 30 or so years back, Austin was an amazing place with so much to offer & do. Sort of a hidden secret jewel of Texas for many many years. Funky, Weird, Lively & Funny. You could go to Barton Springs and a topless girl would ask if you'd like a beer. 6th Street was a party place of fun & frolic. Incredible live music of all types. Downtown on the weekend was people having a good time & "violence" was two frat boys punching each other over which was going to take Suzi Sorority girl home. Sadly, those days are long gone... Central Texas is still beautiful, but for God's sake -;Move to the area OUTSIDE Austin. Bigger_Hammer  |

All the posts above me nailed it.
I'm in the Leander and Cedar Park area. Happy to answer any questions that I can. It's sickening this left wing shit that's going on around here. Only reason I haven't popped smoke is my family is here and I love my job. |

Willaimson County USED to be conservative. Austin rats deserted a sinking ship and headed that way to destroy it. It's essentially, all Austin now.
Honestly, I live a stone's throw from Marble Falls and I'm thinking the cancer is getting too close I would not live anywhere within say, 30 miles of the IH 35 corridor. I'm thinking about talking the wife into moving East Of Elgin by about 20 miles in fact. I'm pretty sure the liberal spread east is a lot slower than the spread west. |

No free land, BLM or otherwise, to shoot on unless you own something large enough or know someone that does. If that's an important consideration.
The rest of the above is also true. |

Austin has gotten stupidly expensive. Frankly if I hadn't moved to the area (Pflugerville) 23 years ago I probably wouldn't be able to afford it today. And I'm a tech worker who makes a little above average and I live in a house that is below average value for the Austin area. But property taxes are threatening to force me out. You may get more of a break on that due to being a senior, but the initial price and assessment on anything within an hour of Austin will still mean a ridiculous property tax bill.
Other parts of Texas have significantly lower house prices and property tax rates... If it weren't for the threat that remote work which I am currently doing going away and having to go on-site or hybrid, I'd have probably already moved. If I was retired and didn't need to worry about commuting at all I would have for sure. And that's just $$$... The crazy libtard politics of Austin really can be pretty annoying. And the policies have led to massive increases in crime too... Rural areas tend to be far safer. I'd avoid the other major metro areas too. |

I'd say avoid Cedar Park and Leander even because it's stupid expensive and liberals are escaping their shit holes for here. Most people that grew up here are moving further north like Liberty Hill or Burnet.

Can't help you out too much. In two days it will be five years since I've been down here. Other than going to the airport or passing through, I've never done anything inside Austin. I'm in Killeen, don't move there.

Most people that grew up here are moving further north like Liberty Hill or Burnet. I'd have to agree with this. Cedar Park and Leander aren't nearly far enough out to escape the mass influx of libtards. Not even Liberty Hill. Even as far out as Burnet, Marble Falls are feeling it. You basically can't escape it south at all. Kyle, Buda, San Marcos, etc... pretty much lost. |

I hope a few hot summers will burn them out like last time. The problem is that more come from the shit holes. |

They shit where they eat and then complain that everything tastes like shit. They go somewhere else and do the same stupid things and wonder why it has the same stupid results. Liberalism is indeed a disease. |

OP may want to look at near Llano and North of there. I liked San Saba too, but there's not much to do. |

Everything above is correct. I live in Cedar Park, and when my kids are done with school I want to be out. Problem is, the only place my wife wants to move is Houston, which I dislike even more. I don't want to leave Texas, but everyone wants to come here, and it is getting worse, not better. I visited Arkansas, and many think I am nuts, but that is a place I could live! Will never get there though, unless my Wife leaves my butt!

It has the most inept, woke city government imaginable. They spend money with little or no accountability and heaven help you if you are involved in a self-defense shooting. A former local GOP elected official commented that Austin city government considers homelessness as a "lifestyle-choice" and is glad to spend our money to maintain that lifestyle for the bums. They hate guns and would ban them if they could, they are all-in on defund the police and have a Soros DA. They are proud to be a "sanctuary city" and City Council meetings are filled with Lefty activists who hate you and America. They are the only ones who vote, which explains why some of the lamebrain schemes of the Central Committee get approved.
I moved here back when it was a small college town with a Hippy/Lefty-lite, live and left live vibe. Now the leadership identifies as Progressive Socialist. |
