Well, I moved to Austin, which plenty of Texas FReepers will tell you isn't really Texas (but it's surrounded by it!). I absolutely love it... simply the best city I have ever lived in.
I had the impression that Austin was a bit too yuppie for most real Texans ... but a damn fine city.
Isn't Austin a tad liberal - though I guess that depends on whether you are comparing it to Berkeley or to Lubbock?
I'll probably end up looking for a place that is 40 minutes outside of either Austin or Fort Worth. Close enough to commute to a job if I have to, but cheaper and less densely populated.
So long as I can get a good internet connection, I should be good to go.
Thanks.
