They came and ruined Austin- made it even more liberal and expensive. I haven’t changed my screen name but I moved to the Hill Country several years ago. I doubt they would move to my neck of the woods- no Starbucks for fifty miles.

Same here. I actually had a couple look at the home next to us ask how close is the nearest Starbuck$. It’s 12 miles, so they weren’t interested.
Living in a state which was formally conservative and still living in the conservative hinterlands, I can tell you from personal experience, the libs in the cities have no problems making laws that affect people far away in areas they will never visit.
I work at the Travis-Wilco line and other than going the 3 mile into Travis county I do not go into Austin unless it is absolutely unavoidable.
Austin started going south back in the early 70’s and it wasn’t from migration. Every dope smoker in Texas thought that was the place to be. When they got older they went to work for the state and there’s where the real trouble started. 1971 Hippy Hollow was a huge attraction for the young and dumb.
