I believe that despite its growth, Austin still maintains a small-town vibe in many neighborhoods. Do you agree, or do you feel like Austin is losing its charm?

Austin was never really a small town (it's the capitol of a huge state), but a lot of people who went to UT stay in the city after graduation, so it's small town vibes because so many people around the same age are like one degree of separation away from each other. So it feels like everyone sort of knows everyone, I guess. It has lost a lot of its charm for me, but gentrification tends to do that to an area.

You think so OP? My brothers live in Austin and I have gone several times to visit and it just feels so big to me. They really want me to move out there which I have thought about but it jsut feels so big and scary LOL.
