a few of your points are absolutely ridiculous. I get the whole "i just moved here the grass must be greener" bullshite to help you validate your decision. But God Damn. Use some level of common sense.

Culture? Really? That the California culture, the wannabe hipster hippie culture or the pretend "giddy up, we're texans" culture?

Diversity? More diverse than New Orleans? Really?

More things to do? Unless listening to shitty bands in hippy ridden bars on sixth street is your thing, I don't think that's really true. I'm no New Orleans fan, but you can not knock New Orleans when it comes to things to do. That is asinine.

People don't approach you for money? REALLY? You haven't seen austin obviously.

People give a shite? Sure, about everything but personal hygiene. Most people downtown look like they could just...use a bath.

Hurricanes? That really threw you that much off of your game? So now you can enjoy a drought and all the BS that is coming as a result of that.

Granted, the business culture in Austin is amazing. Lots more opportunity. But your list is somewhat retarded. And by "somewhat retarded" I of course mean "completely retarded".

1. NOLA is infested with gutter trash hippies. I prefer hipsters and they don't bring culture.
2. NOLA's "culture" is some touristy shitholes in the quarter, and jazz music. Throw in a few local oddities and you just have a slightly polished turd.
3. The hippie element of Austin, while sizeable is overstated and emphasized too much in proportion to the impact of the city. I take it you've just been to downtown and south congress.

70% of the people in NOLA look alike, dress alike, same the same values and outlook on life. What diversity are you talking about. Austin has different people no matter how you prefer to categorize it.

such a hater. So much more to do and less hassle to do it.

New Orleans obviously has the two big elements working against it. Crime and corruption. But NOLA wears you out with the amalglamation of the tiny inconveniences. Never ending, pointless hassles. So with all that combined, yes I hate spending a week in the summer with no power because the people at entergy, like most in the area, don't give a shite.

"Welcome to INSERT BUSINESS/OFFICE how may you inconvenience me today?" A city where 8:00 means somewhere in the 8:15 to 9:45 time range. "I'm sorry, but we only take cash, we're unaware of any other legal tender." "Girlfriend dis guy is at da counts starin' at me like he want sumpin (hangs up phone) what you want?" There are too many people in cultcha capital who don't give a shite about anything.

Yes, a city as backwards as NOLA can only be described as such

Do you really think New Orleans and all of Louisiana in general isn't a backwards cesspool?

This.

I've been in Austin for 3 years now. The liberals, hipsters and traffic suck.

9/10 of the bands playing live music sound like garage bands.

People overrate most of the food and food trucks because they don't have a frame of reference as to what good food is.

There are panhandlers on every corner.

75MPH speed limit? Good luck reaching it because people here drive like they have nowhere to be and don't mind going 15 under the limit.

On the plus side, there are a lot of good beers, a ton of tech jobs, and ACL fest.
