i am looking at austin as a potential city to move, but i am afraid that it will become the bay area given enough time. what is the general consensus and feeling around this? - is there resentment toward techies? - is tech growing exponentially or controlled? - what is the time horizon to becoming the bay area? my personal hell is having to live in the bay area long term, i’d like to avoid this for a plsce to settle down in. edit: not looking for people that like the bay area - we have nothing in common
Safer to be resented as a member of the majority, than to be resented as part of a minority
Yes all your worries are real. Don’t move here
Def not. It’s just a bubble ready to pop
Austin is just as shitty as Bay Area, it’s literally where all the dip shits from the bay are moving when they flee with their internet monies. It’s already lost. If moving to Texas go to a real part of Texas.
El Paso?
Literally everyone in Texas
I’m dead thank you for this.
Yeah and eventually, we'll all be a medium beige color. Austin is not going to become like the bay area anytime soon. Move and don't worry about something that is decades away if even that.
God I hope not. 30+ years bay area native just moved recently to Austin. But I doubt it will at least not for a while.
Why is everyone so frustrated with Bay?
Those problems exist, but are certainly orders of magnitude less significant than in the Bay Area... If you want a city that is not dominated by tech, maybe try Dallas?
What's wrong with bay are? Do u have family with kids
I think you meant, what's good with bay area?
