      You get abortions that often that you can’t literally drive a few hours to Oklahoma or New Orleans for your monthly abortion? I get Texas’s politics are fucked, but don’t be a troll and make it seem like you won’t go to Austin (super liberal) because of Texas’s abortion laws. Ya dumb.

      An abuser doesn't just abuse you one way. They find ways to abuse you if you don't fight back, if you do fight back, if you avoid them, if you're nice to them, even if you placate them. Why live in a place where even a miscarriage could get you, your daughter, or your wife arrested. Or worse, an ectopic pregnancy or a baby that's dead in the womb that you now have go carry to term. It's not worth the risk or the heartache.

      And yes, I've miscarried at 4 months. It happens.

    Austinites - tell us about the traffic, crappy weather, huge utility bills, lack of nature or public spaces to enjoy, bugs, property taxes

    I hate the Bay Area, but I’m not convinced Austin is as great as it’s hyped up to be

      Lack of nature and public spaces is something no one talks about. Californians don't realize how spoiled we are with all the public parks and national parks and beaches all within an hour of us.

  • Austin. COL is lower and purchasing power is higher. Food is fantastic, amazing music scene and great culture. Ironically it’s far more diverse than San Francisco in my experience. Also, it’s not in California.
