If you're not bringing California Communism with you, then welcome to Texas! I know you're from CA, but Austin traffic sucks. Also, like it's been mentioned it's the most liberal place in Texas. Plenty of work in Texas though.

I think Austin was just rated as having the 5th worst traffic in the nation. Worse than Houston, worse than Dallas. I believe it.

I'm a gun toting, constitution loving, small government supporting entrepreneur who does not consider himself a Republican but will never vote for a member of the American Communist party (Democrats). I have never collected an unemployment check and quite frankly just want the government out of my life. I have it really good where I live now but I am just tired of feeding the beast.

It's too hot and humid and overcrowded. Go to the Circuit of the Americas this March for the IndyCar race and then leave

OK, back from Texas. We stayed in Dallas, Cedar Park and spent a couple days in Lakeway and Spicewood. It’s hard to grasp things in such a short time but I wanted to put my thoughts down in case I am wrong about something and for additional insight.
What we liked the most was the people. That has always been our favorite part of Texas. Call it Southern Hospitality but it is really good to be around genuinely good people. What we liked 2nd most was the cost of everything is a small fraction of what we are used to paying. Saw gas $1.99 but there was a lot at $2.09. All day laser tag for the kids at $7 for an all-day pass as examples. You can’t do it one time here for that price. WAY cheaper. What we liked the least was all the police. Good god that is a lot of cops. The lady at one of our hotels said they just hired another 500 cops and they especially like to harass people in Williamson County? She said they were nicer in Travis County where we were looking at property. I don’t know why anyone would own a high performance vehicle here at least in the areas where we were. From Hard Eight BBQ in Dallas to the Hyatt is like maybe 4 miles. Counted 9 cops, three people pulled over and 2 had them going through their cars. Crazy. 2nd least was the pollen. I was surprised to feel it but I did in the middle of winter. I didn’t understand a few things maybe somebody can give me some insight. Why are so many houses in these housing complexes with HOA’s? With unlimited land to build these big beautiful houses on why do they gift wrap them with a fence and no yard so much of the time? Lastly, the economy is obviously booming in Texas as there is a lot of construction. It seems to me your trouble with traffic is just in its infancy stage between Austin and Dallas. Does anyone know how that will be addressed?

Because people here are trashy as hell and without HOA restrictions, a few people come in and crap up the nice neighborhoods with all kinds of dumb shit.

Yes, traffic is awful on I-35 between Dallas and Austin. The only solution I've heard of is a high speed train between the two areas. Other than that, it's |

That Atos Jiu-Jitsu in Lakeway seems like a really school for any of you that are interested. We trained there for a day.

Almost any new development will have an HOA. If you can find an older property on Lake Travis without an HOA, go for it. Lakeway is one of the higher end suburbs of Austin. Lots of cash thrown around in the area

Yep. When I was in the Army and at Fort Hood - it was well known that Austin was the most liberal city in the state. That was in the late 70s and it still is....

If you want a Lake Travis view in Lakeway the house will be $1.2milly... if you want to be on the Lake in the same neighborhood $1.5milly and up. Your property taxes will run $21,000 and up annually.
