You're not wrong. For all the idiots bashing Baton Rouge that doesn't negate the OP's statements. Austin is overrated as frick. Lots of homos and skinny jean wearing pussies like it though so you should have expected a lot of ridicule on this board.

Austin is like the rest of Texas: full of obnoxious people who feel the need to tell you how awesome they are and how great their town is. seems like if it's really that great, you don't have to tell everyone. but again the whole state of Texas is a shithole of arrogance

It's only arrogance if you feel incredibly inferior.

Yeah, it’s underatandable that Austinites are quick to defend their city in this thread, but if it’s just me as they claim, then why do so many people agree with my op?

Not a bumpkin, and I’m not from BR - been all over the country and no city has irked me quite as much as Austin. Never have I heard so much hype about a city and been so let down by the real thing. I’ll stick to South Beach and Vegas and New Orleans.

I haven’t agreed with most of what you wrote, but this is way too much. I would take all the hipsters in Austin over what populates south beach. I interact and work with people from all over the country almost daily. Very little worse than the people in and around Miami.
Most of them remind me of a typical DMV employee who thinks you owe them something. South Beach is at its best a tourist trap.
My guess is you threw in Vegas and South Beach just to hide the fact you never really left New Orleans before because South Beach is pretty awful compared to Austin.

Because Austin is a liberal, progressive city full of highly educate people and most posters on this board are Trumpeteers who hate anything that doesn't fit their myopic world view.

So that must mean it was 1989? And the article said they previously won it in 09, so that was the "again".

OK so i guess they won at least 3x, because they won in 89 when I lived there. Not sure what point you’re trying to make?

Yep, this is the typical attitude I’ve encountered here: everyone who lives here is “enlightened” and anyone who doesn’t “get it” is just wrong and hasn’t seen the light yet

This isn't difficult. You said:

Dude it was the #1 city when I lived there in 89

He responded with:

And you responded with two links from the last 10 years.

I'm also interested in a link from the 1989 ranking.

Just left “The Blue Hole” — more like the filthy shite brown hole. It was like swimming in the Amite River

I might be mistaken; it may have been 1985, which strengthens my argument even more.

Interesting. Wonder why the city was shrinking at such a rapid rate?
