A Blue City in a Sea of Red

To live in Austin for any length of time is to lament the fact that it isn't "like it used to be." We always complain about it becoming too much like Dallas and Houston and losing the unique Austin feel. We even have bumper stickers that read "Keep Austin Weird." But it is still a great place to live, with better scenery than any other Texas city and a laid back attitude. I have lived here for more than ten years and haven't yet come up with a reason to move anywhere else.

Pros:"Easy lifestyle, hills, live music, weather for most of the year"
Cons:"Traffic, summer heat"
In A Nutshell:"There has to be a reason why people keep moving here"

 You're right. The Texas State Capitol is the most beautiful in America -although I've only toured about 40 of them. I hope to see you at the Austin VT meeting on Feb. 25. Stephen
