re: What's the deal with Austin? expensive, traffic, and yard chickens?

I just moved from georgetown (the part on the round rock border) last month after living there for 5 years and I think Austin is the shite. 6th Street is a lot of fun, food is great, people are great, and plenty of things to do. It's also a big music hub with ACL and other music festivals.

I Def don't regret selling my home though; I bought about 5 years ago and was able to sell for 30k over what I paid for it. Real estate prices may have risen too fast, so it feels good to come out ahead before the bubble pops.
