jeffbrines··on Austin’s surge of new housing construction drove down rents
Or...maybe...Austin just isn't that great? Maybe (just maybe) a lot of people (myself included) woke up one day and was like "why are we doing this?" and moved somewhere better?

Austin is not what people pretend. Same with Denver or SLC.

There are no tier 2 cities. Its like countries. There are first world, and third world. And thats it.

Has anyone also considered the possibility that Austin is just not that great? Like...those comparing it to the Bay area or a light weight NYC need their heads checked. Maybe people (like me) just realized it wasn't great and...left?
