Thinking of moving from San Diego to Austin, Texas. SoCal has been great to me, but I’m over it. For those who have moved to Austin in the last year or two, are you happy with the move? (Single, 27yo, M)

You should Airbnb in the winter and test it out before you move. I moved from NYC and definitely miss what big cities have to offer from time to time. However on the plus side - People are much more open and friendly compared to cities. I live in a brand new house and don’t have to worry about living paycheck to paycheck anymore which is even better.

As a current Texan (not Austin), Austin is overrated.

If you are a south park fan It’s basically SoDaSoPa.

Everything is new and fake, no soul.

I’m from Southern CA (not San Diego) and I think SD is the only place worth living in CA

Loved my time down in Austin. Traffic is something to consider. The infrastructure hasn’t caught up to the population growth.

It used to take me an hour to get from Mopac to 5th/Bowie during rush hour - I stand by my claim that traffic is something to consider haha
