How can you stand the weather? (h/t to Stevie Ray Vaughn)
After decades in Lago Vista, moved to Liberty Hill two weeks ago. 100% luberal-free.
Texas can take some lessons, in this regard, from Wisconsin & Governor Walker. It was near all out war, but Walker won most of the battles against the statists-progressives at the end of the day.
I’m an hour away from Austin , but I’m there all the time due to family . Yes , Austin is a cult .
That may all be true about Austin but it had the best job market and one of the best real estate markets in the country.
And the tacos taste great.
I’ve been to Austin a couple times. Stayed for a few days each time.
I thought it smelled like Occupy Wall Street.
Tacos would have been an improvement.

Back in the early 90s a jilted lover poisoned the “Treaty Oak”, an old oak tree under which Sam Houston, according to legend, rested when he was voted out of office. It is the last surviving tree of 14 where Indians would meet and sign treaties.
They spent thousands and thousands of dollars to save the poisoned tree. Today they would let it die because Sam Houston owned slaves. I’m surprised they haven’t cut it down.
Austin is a very liberal place. I’m going to the Hill Country” on the fourth and will eat an In & Out Burger. I’m surprised they allowed one to be opened there. There’s a Bible verse on every cup. They probably haven’t noticed.
Austin has major California envy. Almost every nutty idea they get has already been done out in Cali.
Here in WI, Madison is the butt of liberal jokes as well, but they have a great scene as well. FReepers should rightfully criticize liberalism for the policies, but when it comes to the arts, community, entertainment, and restaurants - I'm talking about the liberals engaging in the market and being creative - they do give conservatives a run for their money.
I’ll bet Austin is considering how to pass a travel ban against the rest of the state over the transgender bathroom bill...
I fought 3 Jury trials with the same judge, same prosecutor, same City Bureaucrats trying to fine me hundreds of thousands of dollars. You see, the City has their own “Environmental” Court and “Environmental” police force.
With a Liberal City of Austin jury each time, the City lost!
And that’s just one story of mine. There are many more. The common denominator? The City always lost! But, they don’t care. Their lawyers are FREE. Incompetent but free!
