Austin and B/CS are not close enough to each other that you'd want to drive from one to the other every day. They are about 2 hours from each other.



Heck he's thrown Breckenridge into mix also. See his post #11. People forget distances when they talk about locations in Texas or so it seems.

Yes, I noticed that - hence my question of which comes first, finding a job or moving to town. If he has a job at Brackenridge lined up, I wouldn't suggest B/CS as a home. I might suggest someplace like Bastrop if he wants to escape Austin. I've noticed a lot of city/county/state employees who work in Austin but live outside the county. Wonder why?

Bryan/College Station, in fact Central Texas, generally has no tornado problems.

That's news to the survivors of Jarrell, where the tornado even ripped out the grass from the earth.

Actual facts, rather than Aggie misinfo:

Bryan/College Station is about where the 't' is in the text "Houston".

And a third tornado map, while we are at it:

Curious about the frequencies of thunderstorms per year?

All from this page.

As folks try to escape the zoo, otherwise known as Austin, places like Bastrop, Dripping Springs, Kyle, etc., with their generally lower taxes, look like attractive places to be.

Oh yeah, I've got lots more!

How about average rainfall?

No one wants the bad guys out of the business more than I do.

I rarely say nor write much in the way of opinion anymore. It is better for the other person to have no idea of what is going to happen to him/her if they cause a problem without cause. Case closed. Don't reply, don't ask, don't tell. :-|.

But "taking advantage" of clients (treating them unfairly or dishonestly) is a great way to lose your license.

The above statement about individuals losing a license for the things they do is the biggest bunch of hogwash I've EVER read on Free Republic, bar none. Do NOT reply...just let it go and close it.

Most real estate people everywhere will provide a service to you in exchange for compensation.

Yes, like the one who tried to sell me a 16-year old doublewide on 9 acres with a pond for $125,000 in a rural area? ROFL.

I don't believe in making money that way -- it is blatantly dishonest. It is especially galling since the property later sold for around $77,000 (which was still a bit high). Okay, now I'm finished.

Austin is one of the greatest places to live in the world. Virtually everything anyone could want is there and the geography and climate are fine. You're very lucky if you can get a job there.

I'm not sure what you are wanting to do. I see you are
flying the Texas flag.

Let me know either here or Freep mail, either way. :^)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not sure what or where you really need to be based upon the above comments you made.... I suggest you get a Texas map out and study the distances between some of the locations you've made above and then think time frame [15-30 minutes]...

I'm actually looking at College Station-Bryan.. another option is Austin... the Breckenridge comment was if I lived in Austin... sorry for the confusing syntax, but I are an Aggie.. ;-)

I'm actually going tomorrow to see what is going on in Bryan, but will leave the Austin option on the back burner.

I went to A&M and loved it. I can still remember nickel beer night at the Dixie Chicken, yell practices, kisses when the football team scored, and all the good stuff.... and good friends. I miss Texas and am trying to get back "home". I also want my kids to grow up as Texans....

Move to sunny Northeast Florida! Just kidding. But it is sunny here. Atleast in fall and winter.

I'm moving from sunny southwest Florida to Texas..

Thanks... I just couldn't put all the places/pieces together with anyone working in any of the three locations mentioned and wanting to commute from either of the other two. Good luck in your search.
