I’ve seen your rants about NYC. Moving to Austin isn’t going to fix your problems FYI. I say that sincerely.

Save money on taxes, though. So there is that.

Also, Austin is a smaller city with smaller city dynamics.

Austin is not the greatest LGBT scene these days… Houston is actually much better (and cheaper), not to mention far more affordable for comparable types of neighborhoods. Austin has more clubs, Houston has more community.

Do you like Houston?

I been thinking about buying a 3bed and 3bath house or a condo. I haven’t had much luck in finding one so I started thinking about 4 bed and 3bath. I am single and I don’t have any plans to marry or have a partner staying with me. Is there anyone who’s single living in a 3 or 4 bed house by yourself ? Please share your experiences from all aspects. The only thing that makes me think weird is, it’s too much space for one person ☹️
