Love it, Austin is such a great tech bubble right now, this will just continue the trend for a long while, they picked a great spot to do this (mainly because I live in Austin, lol)
- xradionut 13y agoAustin is in a state, (Texas), with a lot of pending issues coming to roost... education, traffic, migration, water/drought, social safety net. As much as I love my native state, I don't see any leadership addressing these.
- dr_doom 13y agoIt's important to note that California is just as bad or worse in a lot of those areas. All the things you mentioned are pretty bad in California. Public education is terrible, traffic is outrageous, there is a huge immigration 'problem', and the forest fires are pretty bad. To each his own but Californian leadership isn't really that great. I just can't decide who is worse Perry or Brown.
- tufyjggbfhry 13y agoNyc also had a pretty bad immigration problem. Those pesky italians and their mafia. The Irish were no better. And on top of that Mexicans are no arriving in droves. When will it ever end? When?
- xradionut 13y agoMost of the current migration into Texas is from California and NY. How can I tell? They are constantly bitching that Texas isn't California or NY.
- dr_doom 13y agoThat is why I put problem in quotes, I was responding to the parents reply about migration. I actually favor more open immigration, my grandparents were some of those mexicans who came illegally and had a great life.

- hadees 13y agoWhich is why http://www.battlegroundtexas.com/ http://www.battlegroundtexas.com/ is so important. Texas needs some competition for it's top offices. Having a whole state run by one party is a terrible idea.
