The liberal local "leadership" is who's responsible for making it a comfy place for them. I moved out of the city to get away from liberals. Bums everywhere. 6th is garbage now looks like some Houston strip club crowd hanging out on the weekends now. Trash in the places that used to be pristine (the greenbelt). All the "secret" swimming holes are now packed full of people with their off leash "doggos" and screaming children.
It wasn't like that 20 years ago in Austin. All that shit swept in at once. And to think mayor Adler took a trip to California to "get tips on how to handle people experiencing homelessness."
Nothing about that problem got better. It only snowballed.
I'm really sorry to hear all of that -- and yes, "they" ruin everywhere and everything they travel to and touch. Still have a couple close friends in Austin who remember the better days like yourself. You also bring up an indirect but nonetheless interesting point -- have you noticed how many liberals have the worst-behaved children?? Given their warped and miserable collective worldview, I suppose it's bound to be a natural/logical result.
Though I grew up in and have lived my whole life in the Mid Atlantic region...I fell deeply in love with TX over the past five years, when we made two separate cross-country trips to see our sons and spent many days staying in, and traveling through, the Lone Star State. I love all the different climates, and most of all, every Texan we met wherever we went in the state. It's not the same as being born there, I know...but if nothing else, I feel like a "spiritual" Texan. :)
It was those same lazy dazed and confused liberals that allowed the liberal leadership to control the city. Whether it was by voting for bad people or by "not wanting to get involved with politics". I never was a passenger in my own life like these people.
I count Austin as lost forever. The big tech companies moved in and drove the cost of everything up. I work in tech but I'm not really like a lot of the people I've worked alongside.
I actually had this kid in his 20s who I trained and taught a lot of stuff to get really upset with me one time at work. I always referred to him and the other men as sir. I would say thank you sir when they did something for me. One day out at the smoking circle he unloaded on me. He was so mad I had been calling him sir. He said it was condescending.
I was completely blindsided by this and thought I was using the word as a way of showing respect to someone. He saw it as the complete opposite. Austin is chock full of these kind of people now. They create traffic in the rain because they're scared of driving and they create traffic in the sun because they're spacing out at the nice day and the stereo in their car instead of driving.
You cannot win so I just bonded my self out of that jail. My gf was reluctant to leave because she's younger than me and still was doing a lot of the "fun" city activities. But, we are happier and more free now. We own land. Have multiple cars that we enjoy and great neighbors. Austin used to be really cool. But that led to its downfall. I used to hear tourists in downtown raving about how they had no idea how cool Texas was and how they wanted to move to Austin.
Welp. Here we are now. Just check out the tx street fights YouTube channel if you think this is a place to visit.
