For nightlife... that's quite the undersell. There are live bands everywhere, every night of the week. Every kind of genre. Thousands of ppl mingling, dancing in/outside these bars. It is better than Vegas's Fremont Street ;) The nightlife is phenomenal for singles.
It's not just 'quiet quitting'. Austin defunded their police force by 30%. Morale dropped significantly and there is now a shortage of police.
After-all, who wants to work in a city where they are not wanted and actively hated.
Homicide is up 70% and violent crime is up. Police response times are 30% longer.
Just an FYI... housing prices are expected to drop 12% in the near term.
