This place is unbearable! I have to spend all day in my 2000 ft² pool with my kids. I can't believe I moved here having done zero investigation about the weather, it was just SO nice during ACL/SXSW! I can't wait to move back to my 1000 ft², $2M dilapidated shoe box in the #BayArea with a 2-hour commute and feces on the street. At least there I can supplement my income by stealing everything in sight! I just have to leetcode so I can get out of this shit hole. Hope I survive the one in a decade power outage we're guaranteed to get this winter, not like back home where PG&E only started wild fires and caused rolling blackouts on a semi-annual basis. #housing #austin #sanfrancisco Edit: almost forgot to mention: The flat roofed white modern California style cube I had built for myself here, which cost me less than a year of my income and looks identical to all other new construction, can't handle the fact that Texas does in fact get a few hard rains a year. Can you believe that shit?
I get the sarcasm. But confused are you someone who has been in Austin for decades and poking fun of those who have started going back to bay area, or just want to demotivate people from not migrating to Austin now on???
Austin is full, don't move here.
Got it bro/sis/it. Enjoy your Austin!
Curious what your summer cooling bills are averaging ?
$160-200/month on electricity, includes pool pumps etc. thinking about getting solar panels.
Meanwhile charging your car and running your AC on a tiny house in CA will set you back $700.
lol both Texas and Bay Area are crap. Getting a job in those areas with that salary and then moving remote is the way.
Being in pool all day sucks, it's ok buddy, whatever helps you cope and justify your decision
Your face when you realize this satirizing the thousand weekly cope/whine posts. 😱
Seriously I find people defending Bay Area clear case of Stockholm Syndrome.
I'm genuinely happy for the people who love it there, I just get tired of all the whining hate posts. Like we get it, you moved here without doing any research and now you hate it. Leave quietly, you don't need to justify your mistake with incessant public shit-talk.
Do you feel better now? Go get in your car and drive 50+ miles in the empty desolate wasteland just in case.
I know right? I actually love the desolate wasteland. Here are a few of my favorite bits:
This what a rat with rat mentality deserves when the said rat is obsessed with rat race. enjoy

Austin sucks. Don't move here. Go back to California/Ohio/Iowa if you're already here. I say this because I care.
Care about who?
