san antonio is still a good value and is going to become a lot more like austin over the next 10-15 yrs. lots of austin hipsters priced out of austin by cali tech shitlibs have moved there and that's only going to increase. best bet for property investment.

between austin and dallas i'd go with dallas if you have/want a family and arent concerned about spending the rest of your life "going to shows" and generally pretending to still be 25 yrs old and paying out the ass for that privilege

Only cr places in Texas that still have real Texas culture are towns like Waco, Fredericksburg, Temple, Kerrville, Boerne, Amarillo, etc. Dallas had this like 40 years ago maybe. Now it’s just Mexicans and people from California. Would not live in either long term. Too hot, too crowded, too flat and shitty. Nothing to do outside. Cant really go outside during the day from May through September. Atrocious property taxes. Increasingly shitlib (the people there increasing arent from Texas).

examples of what? shitlibbery is pervasive in the culture and colors every interaction you have with anyone. local lifestyle papers publish tops 10 lists of vegan ice cream parlors. rich white tech people pay $19 for a cocktail while pretending to be at a chill, low-key dive bar. everyone who lives there is basically LARPing 24/7 as a hippie inhabitant of some disneyland version of what austin was like in the 90s and early 2000s while actually being high income tech industry cali transplants who obsesses about dumb UMC shitlib bullshit while smugly viewing themselves as cool and down to earth. their artificiality and hypocrisy is revolting.

Sure. But when you say "politics", these days you can't ignore lib politics. It really is a religion and when they take over it becomes clown world bullshit. That's where Austin is. A few decades ago it was "Keep Austin Weird" style shit. Kind of like old Oregon/Seattle with hippy nonsense and pot smokers but otherwise not awful in your face shitlib mobs. Every single one of the places that used to be lib but harmless has gone total clown world. Pacific Northwest, Austin, etc.

This is delusional nonsense. Alex Jones lives in Austin and gets hundreds to show up whenever he wants. Portland is 500x more pozzed than Austin and most of the people who bitch about Austin being liberal are GOPe Bushfags from Dallas and Houston suburbs who are still mad that they didn’t get into UT and had to go to A&M.

Dallas sucks at the most important parts of Texas, where Austin excels at most of them. 1) The best barbecue place in Dallas wouldn’t make the top 20 in Austin or top 100 if you include all the towns within an hour’s drive. 2) it’s an NFL city in a high school and college football state. 3) Dallas is 98% concrete and TTT 60s style construction trash that got slapped up inside of a decade once air conditioning was scalable and the oil boom kicked into high gear. Dallas metro did something like 10x its population between 1946-80, so there is just a fuck ton of awful real estate in the city and that’s why people who move there go out to McKinney to buy a house and commute 2+ hours every day to work in unnecessarily shitty traffic. 4) downtown Dallas is like a fake downtown of a movie set and absolutely sucks ass. It’s crawling with homeless people and doesn’t really have good amenities like there are not any restaurants or places that people go out. It’s sort of like downtown L.A. 15 years ago, but smaller, shittier and worse overall. Austin has plenty of problems and you need to go farther out to get a really good house for cheap there, but all the good development is happening in north austin so it feels to me that buying in the nicer north austin suburbs now will be like buying in nicer east coast suburbs in the 60s. Still tons of upside and your immediate area will get better and better for the next 50 years. See eg they put the MLS team stadium in north Austin. Most of the big tech employees are in north Austin (Apple, google, VMware, Homeaway). Buying a place right off south congress right now would be every bit as dumb financially as buying in San Francisco, but north Austin is a solid bet as long as you don’t need to go to concerts in the parks by the river that goes through downtown every two weeks.

I would buy something close to the domain that would work as a rental if and when you want to upgrade or you end up with a family.

I have kids and would care about shit like school combos so I’d go for more like this, which is the best combo in the state:

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/10901-Spicewood-Pkwy-Austin-TX-78750/29374365_zpid/

Interior is pretty shitty/dated and ideally I’d put a pool in that backyard, but 2500+ sqft 4/3 with playroom space in that location with those schools is a good investment long term if you are willing to upgrade the finishes through out as you go.

Cr on Dallas assessment. Its downtown is awful. Super sketchy vibe with tons of blacks and homeless. Ft Worth is better.

The IT jobs in Dallas are in Irving and Plano. And they are mostly with traditional industry like insurance, telecom, airlines etc. If you want SV-type tech you have to go to Austin.

The property taxes in Dallas are not all that high compared to Houston.

Generally speaking property taxes are about the same throughout the big cities in Texas - 2.4 to 2.7% Places like Highland Park and UP in Dallas have the lowest property taxes though, but they are the best areas.

Except that many neighborhoods in Houston have separate MUD taxes, something that Dallas area doesn't have I believe. Many Houstonians are paying something like 3.5% in total property taxes.

dallas depresses me. the whole region is a big flat overheated blob of sprawl. watch old episodes of 'cheaters' for an unvarnished look at the DFW metroplex. so much traffic. so much time spent driving around. geographically, it sits on the great plains/prairies, so you get that delightful inland summer furnace effect, too.

Dallas is much larger, more conservative (at least in the suburbs), and less trendy. More distinctively "Texas" and cowboy. Very spread out, but its downtown still has a big city feel.

Austin is smaller but trendier and more liberal. Like Dallas to Forth Worth, it also basically has a twin city (San Antonio) and its rapid growth is basically merging the two. While Austin is smaller, its downtown is more vibrant.

If you are young and single, I'd pick Austin. If you are looking to raise a family, it's a more complicated decision.

Personally, I find the sprawl in Dallas to be really depressing.

This is cr except that Austin’s downtown has much more of a big city feel than Dallas’ does. Austin’s skyline shits all over Dallas’ and there are far more interesting things happening in Austin’s downtown v. Dallas’ which feels like a 10 city block radius of totally generic office towers next to an abandoned Disney version of a cattle stockade that got bought by developers and they slapped in a few apartment buildings and shitty restaurants and an aquarium.

Austin is arguably the #2 tech city after SF now. You are going to have a lot more job opportunities there. Austin has a lot of great things going for it that everyone knows about.

The two biggest downsides to me are mostly avoidable. There are insane shitlibs there but you will mostly avoid them if you live in North Austin or by Lake Travis. You also don't need to work downtown, which makes the horrid commuting and insufficient infrastructure less of a big deal.

If I was going to move back to Texas I would get a house near Lake Travis and buy a boat or move to Fort Worth.

Both suck. Texas is shit. Its proximity to Mexico guarantees a constant flow of “migrants” through all the major cities. Dallas is heavily black and has crime problems. Its downtown is dystopian feeling. Austin is nutso liberal and priced like it’s the west coast except it doesn’t have mild west coast weather—it’s morbidly hot 6 months a year. Dallas is ice storms in the winter, tornados all spring, and murder heat from May through September. In the next few years it will begin to look like Central America. Chagas disease is already expected to creep in due to kissing bugs moving farther north as Texas gets hotter. Mosquitoes everywhere. Zika will be a thing, etc. Would not move there.
