[quote=FlyerInHi]What’s wrong with Austin? Did you read the other thread about moving to Texas?

Austin a great place to live overall. The main reasons why it isn’t the best choice for me:
It can be hot from May through October. I don’t mind hot weather for a couple of months, but in Austin it just lasts too long and it too extreme.
Property taxes are too high. They vary on where you live in Austin, but a 400K house could be anywhere from 8K to 12K per year.
The city is too big. Our ideal city size would probably be around 50K. I know T/M the population is around 200K — so it’s bigger than we would like, but it’s not anything like Austin size (or San Diego size for that matter).
I haven’t seen the Texas thread — I’ll look for it.
