I never understand, is there a reason why no one has a good lawn ? The city looks like Fresno - bad lawns, no flowers.

From 1999 to 2010, Austin was a very nice place.  It really started going downhill around 2012-2013.  It has been a SHIT HOLE since 2018.

I can't wait to leave!

Agreed. We left in 16 for another semi-shithole but are moving to the Hill Country this spring.

South Austin is worst Austin.

But, they aren't that far apart.

This was taken awhile back, now it looks like a drive - in theatre. South Austin.

Of course.  I could show you around many middle and upper class areas in and around Austin that would leave you wondering what the heck GD is talking about.

You are late to the party.  You should have seen it in '76.

Everything woke touches turns to shit.

Nashville is Austin in 2 years.  Seattle in 4 years.  Portland in 6 years.

Like the sun coming up in the east.

If your state or city has an interstate that attaches to California, blow the first bridge into your state.

For Californians. They buy up all the houses out west in Westlake and Bee Caves, keep voting in the ACAB lesbian city council and sit by their pools and laugh.

Westlake and Bee Cave. (not caves) are separate cities and do not vote in Austin elections.

Austin's issues are directly tied to the University and the festering communist enclave it supports.

Makes me sad. I was never super into Austin, but I was always glad it was there in case I felt like driving down and doing something different.

I don't really entertain the idea of visiting anymore.

That’s what tends to happen to liberal progressive places run by people who care more about feelings than real world issues.

Thankfully Austin Shitty Limits was in town when we were there for MotoGP, so we stayed out in the Cedar Park area. That was decent.

I won't deny that the UT main campus here has a liberal bent, but some of us UT employees proudly support more conservative causes, such as national defense.  

That still doesn't absolve Austin of being a liberal shithole.

Yeah, I'm sad about that because GT was a minute's drive from the office.  But they moved because the building they leased was sold.  Some developer is going to turn that area into another high rise development.
