re: Moving back to Austin, goodbye Houston

Great. I’m glad you hated Houston, it is terrible. Please tell everyone the same.

The traffic in Austin is as bad as Baton Rouge almost.

Lived in both cities. Austin traffic is worse.

There's shite like that in the city now. Austin is not the eclectic experience it was 10-15 years ago. Much has changed and not for the better.

You gonna rent an apt at the domain? Bend over. Or live in Gtown, RR, or leander?

My sister lives near the Hula Hut off Lake Austin Blvd. Nice area but she's pretty wealthy. I couldn't afford that.

Exactly. I know Austin traffic is shite, I lived in it for 12 years. I'm also aware that Austin has changed and isn't what it was when I moved there in 05. I don't do the downtown scene though and my wife and I both work from home, so we will rarely have to deal with rush hour traffic.
I'm looking for land between Leander and Liberty Hill, lived in Cedar Park last time so I'm familiar with the area. Austin really does have more to offer for what I generally enjoy. I love the hill country and the lakes.
Downfall is we will have to spend a little more time on the road for my kids racing. There are no real tracks around Austin. Couple of decent ones around Bastrop but not many big races there. Another great track outside of San Antonio we will likely drive to a lot. I have a feeling we will be making trips up outside of Dallas to race a lot too, we didn't need to do that this year.

And for the Livingston Parish trash here talking shite, I'm as far from liberal as it gets. I knew that was coming from the low brow crew though.

Only problem was I had to move to the Houston area

We are right on the edge of The Woodlands

News flash...you didn’t move to Houston. You moved to Woodlands. That’s like saying I moved to NOLA and live on the North Shore.

It contains everything I despised about Baton Rouge

Haha. Like all the professional sports teams and the nightlife and the food scene that Br has to offer

You never lived in Houston

He couldnt possibly going on this spiel about congestion in Houston given how bad the exact same shite is in Austin.

---

When I say congestion, I'm referring to more than just traffic. The traffic in Austin is worse because the infrastructure to handle it hasn't been built. Houston traffic flows better.
What I mean by congestion is that everything around here is over built. There's a strip center on every corner with a mattress store, nail shop, and a dentist office. And even though there's 3 of all of them in walking distance, they feel the need to build more because there's a patch of grass. Austin does have the same thing, but not nearly to the same extent. There's just significantly more people in Houston, so it's almost impossible to escape huge crowds.
Back in Austin, my wife and I had a few places we frequented where we could sit down for a drink or 2 and enjoy ourselves without people everywhere. Here, with significantly more places to choose from, we have 2 spots were we can go sit at a bar and it not be slammed with people.

No shite Sherlock. That's why I said Houston area, as in suburbs of Houston. There would be no Woodlands without Houston.

Haha. Like all the professional sports teams and the nightlife and the food scene that Br has to offer

Again, no shite. Of course the 4th largest city will have more to offer than BR. What it also has is the same humid as hell weather and precipitation, love bugs, Katrina refugees, high crime rates, chemical plants.

quote:

love bugs

---

Haha. Okay. Now I know where you are coming from Nancy.

Next time don’t shite on a city you never lived in. And don’t judge a place bc of love bugs.

I guess you despise the Caribbean bc you can’t go outside with bathing in Deet.

You belong in Austin.

I live in Liberty Hill.

In the Woodlands? Arent you talking about moving to the areas that dude was sending people bombs in the mail?
