They will generally not "take over" a house like smaller german cockroaches will.

Re: OOT Tell me about Austin, TX
There are some really good looking lesbians(best looking lesbians I have ever seen in real life) that just moved to my neighborhood, they are from Austin. Can't tell you any more but I would say it's a good place.

If you make a fool of yourself by screaming your bad habit will probably be cured by the derisive laughter of other people who have come to terms with our brothers the tree roaches.

So the likelihood of my getting a cheap apartment and it having roaches is pretty good? Seriously, this is a big big big issue for me. So I need to know about how common it is.

Re: OOT Tell me about Austin, TX
Op, what line of work are you in?
There are some jobs that are scarce in Austin. but it is a nice place to live. It has the advantages of a big city (nightlife, restaurants, things to do) mixed with a close proximity to outdoorsy activities and has less of the disadvantages ( overpopulation, crime, really bad traffic).
