Honestly I am really surprised by this. I don't think the quality of life is bad here. Can you imagine living in Alaska?!?!? LOL. I want to know who votes on and decides these things because I for one do not agree. I love living in Austin and think it is a great place to raise a family.

I lived in NY/NJ for 23 years - they are no comparison to Texas. I love Austin and Texas. NY was already losing a lot of talent to Florida and with the Texas Stock Exchange… end is near for them.
