I’ve been thinking seriously of moving from California to Texas, with first choice being the Austin area. But the insanity has spread to Texas, carried by the liberals moving to Texas - we can’t run from liberalism, it must be fought.
You should never have chosen Austin. It's the Berkeley/Madison of the southwest. This isn't sue to "insanity spreading to Texas"; it's been that way for a long time. Probably because it is the capitol and full of government employees, and it is dominated by one of the largest universities in the country.
It's a beautiful area, with lots of nice smaller towns around it, but Austin itself is a lost cause.
So the “KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD!” bumper stickers are a clue? LOL!
...take a second to read this note.......the greater ATX (Austin TX for “those in the know...”) area has some very nice suburban areas....we live in one of them and it is a very nice place to live...we have been here for almost 6 years and have been to downtown ATX just ONCE in that time....everything we need or want is available in our suburb....it is very conservative and that suits us just fine...!!
Look into Frisco, about 30 minutes north of Dallas.
