Default Re: OOT Tell me about Austin, TX

Funny, I just had to drive there and back for work today (from Houston). In fact, I had to inspect a new apartment complex called Broadstone on Metric road just west of I-35. (About 15 minutes North of downtown). It looked like a pretty nice complex.

I personally like Austin for the hills alone. Houston is flat as hell and it's nice to see some hills. One problem I see there is that the infrastructure isn't such that it can facilitate the great rate of growth the city is experiencing. It's a great place to live...IF people stop relocating there!

EDIT: Austin is by no means a World Class City, like Boston. Austin doesn't really have much of a global economic impact. You obviously won't be able to go to as quality of museums/operas that you would be able to in a world class city. Not sure if you care about this or not.

The good news is, since you are used to saying "Boston", all you have to do is drop the "B".
