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?
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.
