I think it's good to try different places but Austin is especially cool. The nightlife is better than SF, the rents are more affordable, outdoor lifestyles are huge, the girls are prettier, and the weather is better. Austin is consistently ranked at the top of various best of lists, a quick google search found this link. http://www.austinhomelistings.com/blog/is-austin-the-best-city-to-live-in.html http://www.austinhomelistings.com/blog/is-austin-the-best-ci...

Except for the drought we are still in and the 74 days above 100 degrees in 2011.

As an Austin male I'd like to point out we are also exceptionally good looking.

Yall should stay in SF. You won't like it here. 1. No beach 2. Snakes 3. Scorpions 4. Coyotes 5. Steel guitars and country music 6. Guns 7. Heat kills everything, you better love the color brown 8. Few sidewalks and biking is a misdemeanor downtown 9. Everyone is obsessed with football and 10. Stevie Ray Vaughan

    Unless they changed the law recently, certain roads you need to walk your bike, such as "The Drag" and Congress Ave. Yes you do see a lot of hipsters riding around the East 6th Street area. Generally speaking it's not a pedestrian friendly state, Texans joke they can tell you're from another state if you walk further than 20 feet. Because there's no coastline, everything is spread out. Goes with the "Everything is bigger in Texas" mantra. Really I don't dislike Austin. I moved here about 10 years ago. You will hear some Texans complain about rude Californians moving here. But it makes sense why you're moving here. Lower taxes = more jobs. Just about everything is more expensive in California. I don't know what the situation is in California lately but from reading the headlines, sounds like the government is broke. Texas is more conservative. For example, "State legislators in Texas make $600 per month, or $7,200 per year" vs. "members of the California legislature are paid $95,291 per year" Wikipedia.
