Absolutely neither, ever. No chance. WTF would you want with either???
BR has little going for it unless you grew up there, I visit a few times per year and have never had an experience that I consider memorable other than some good meat markets. I don't hate the place but never seriosly considered it when we moved out of NOLA. I can't imagine many people do that aren't in state politics, LSU, or grew up local.
Austin is liberal paradise that is 180deg of most things I love about Texas. It's like a little San Francisco or LA. WTF would be attractive about that? Most people are fleeing cities like this. It's only a matter of time until Austin jumps the shark, too. This is a city full of bureacrats, virtue signaling fart sniffers, and everything that is not cool in between.
I mean I could name you seriously 200 cities I would move to before Austin or Baton Rouge. Hard pass on either. I love Louisiana and Texas but not attracted to those two cities.

Austin city limits vs Austin metro area are 2 very different things
Austin and BR are similar in The fact that both State capitals they're both flagship university towns( though UT vs LSU quality of life reputation...puhleeeease )and the climate is similar
past that they're two very very different cities and areas in the topography,the economy, the arts, demographics, crime .
all quality of life
BR has an affordability advantage but there's a reason
and outside City proper there's in no comparison CentTex is 1,000 times nicer :

Great, Honest review.

I disliked people from BR when I was at LSU because they only hung out with each other and never ventured out. It's like there'd be a large party and on one half of the room was people from all over LA and other states and the other half was just people from BR. Not one of them ever came up to me and introduced themselves.
