Downtown Austin is a shithole.
Yes
Two Sigma is in Houston?
Yea
Dallas or Austin is a better option
Austin is better, just moved there from Seattle.
Super high humidity in summer. Risk of floods/hurricanes.
Risk of earthquake looming the Bay area.
I would recommend visiting with the family. Having a look around. Also do the same for Dallas and Austin and anywhere else you’re considering. Take your time. Figure out what’s best on paper but mostly how you really feel about an area. Visit during the bad season too to know what you’re up against. Texas just isn’t for me personally. But I gave it a long hard look.
That's a good idea
Houston is an absolute sauna most of the year.

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
Cheaper housing will be too basic in the Bay area.
