I moved to Austin a couple years ago but now I want to leave again. People drive like crazy, the weather is too damn hot, and people just ghost you these days but maybe that's just a bad American habit. Japan or Taiwan is on my list of places to move. Thanks for the video!
Had a boss that used to say that to employees trying to leave. It's a phrase used justify shittiness or cover up bad qualities. Guess what the next job the grass was greener.
@jaylee6830: Exactly. I seen a lot of people moving to another state and is doing worse financially than they were in their original state. People say they make more money here and there and how wonderful it is to be here but failed to tell the truth about their financial conditions 😂.
@foxtrotthree569 South Austin is not a different city; it is Austin, TX. I used to live there, and my address was Austin, TX. What you said makes no sense. Google it.
@llmnr3xp0sed I believe he means Figuratively? I get it. It's a very diverse landscape. Hill on one side, canyons on the other. Downtown, Round Rock. South felt very homely from what I remember. I spent more time out West of Bee Caves. Definitely much different than Louis Henna
So I moved here from Manhattan about two years ago. During the Covid and all that. And I know people are like oh well you’re from New York. You’re part of the problem. Actually I moved here for what my friend who lives in San Antonio sold me on Austin with was it’s weird. I’m a weird person. It’s artsy. I’m an artist, they love except all kinds of people I happen to also be gay but not crazy about it. And so I was looking for that eclectic hippie artsy, musical kind of place that also had a little touch of a city. And I feel like I find it here and there, but it’s very small and fleeting and most people here I find to be rude and irritating it could just be the world that we live in now and the way the country is unfortunately. But I really did move here for that old Austin vibe. Because when people that are from here, tell me about how it used to be. I wish that that’s what it was because that’s what I wanted to live in. so I don’t know if I’m gonna stay here I can go outside and go to some of the most beautiful places I’ve ever hiked before. I do appreciate that that’s one good thing. I do like the nature and all the outdoor activities that are offered here. But that will only get things so far plus none of those those are actually in Austin anyway.
@@TexasFireMedic home taxes. Dont worry about that if you dont plan on owning a home. East Texas sucks lol. I went to college in Tyler. Youre gonna hate it there if you dont go to shreveport or dallas as often as you possibly can.
Old Austin was where I could interact w someone at a house party then run into them at the lake 3 weeks later. Hippies, cowboys and hispanics got along but progressive leaning culture rooted that out a bit. Still a great place w some growing pains.
@@Rainy_Day12234 oh wow ok yea I've seen that for a city in my state more California people moved here and people got more distant a meaner over the years
I’m we’ll traveled, I’ve been to 46 states. Not talk airport layovers, unlike her, I’m more like an actual nomad not a digital one. This video was a waste of 9 mins of my life. If anyone is making life decisions based on topics discussed here, may god have mercy on your soul.
Honorable mention on why people leave Austin: The politics. If you are a Republican in that city, Austin is the San Francisco or Chicago or Los Angeles or Seattle or New York City or Denver of Texas. In other words, you cannot get any more liberal than these cities. In fact, these are some of the most liberal cities in the US. If you feel politically uncomfortable living in Austin move to another city in Texas. If you are a Texas Democrat who loves the politics of Austin but despise the politics of Texas overall, think very carefully on whether to move out of Texas or not.
Well, there’s a couple topics that you didn’t mention, and that would be the queer side and the political side, the liberalism compared to the conservative
Sounds like all your reasons apply to America as a whole. I’ve been living in Mexico and my stress is at zero, I eat healthier, I’m happier, and life is great here. ❤❤❤
Denver used to be this way too. It used to be perfect, like a clean small town city but now it’s overcrowded and busting at its seams just like Austin.
I was considering moving to Austin from Switzerland, but with covid it got delayed, I was already considering Austin back then. I'm not there but it seems Austin is not changing for the best rn, Homesless, the rainy dude... Not so sure anymore, that's sad
Don't listen to this Karen, she chose to live fking downtown. What an idiot! Of course your going to have traffic.... it all depends on where you live honestly. The city is great!
Which areas are safe affordable family friendly to live?? Does it get very cold there?? Do you have crocodiles problems, love bugs?? Scorpion??What are the properties taxes on a average?? Does it hail in all texas?? Flood?? Is more humid or dry? Is there tornados, hurricane?? How's the health insurance ??
The problem is this is happening everywhere, along with the denegration of society and the rise of vapid consumerism. Where are these people going then or is everyone moving from city to city only to experience the same feeling of being lost in the numbers?
Austin sounds like a great place to live, work, make new friends, raise a family and pursue the American Dream. So many opportunities for the entrepreneurial minded who look forward to rising up and meeting the daunting challenges of life. Everywhere I look there is a new business opening, neighborhoods being revitalized and friendly people looking connect.
I moved to Austin in 1986 as a child and just recently moved to Tampa. I loved Austin for so long yet after spending 5 months visiting 24 countries in Europe last year and the lack of public transportation is a shame. I last lived downtown thinking it would be an amazing experience yet having to drive everywhere really sucks. I also tried going for a walk when it was 105F outside downtown and it was pure hell. Austin and most of the U.S. needs to completely revamp their transportation infrastructure and take notes from Japan and Switzerland.
I've lived in Austin since 1987 yes things have changed. What do you expect with 1.2 million people?? Austin is a big city with small town streets. The city has made the streets even smaller by placing stick barriers for bicyclists.
Expanding on the crime, it’s due to the population of democratic states (mostly California) continuously leaving because of the practically legal-crime, companies moving (a lot to Texas) because of the crimes, and insane enforcement child gender laws as well as other factors Austin and possibly parts of Texas will definitely keep growing in crime and as Texas becomes more democratic, it will eventually become plausible that Texas one day could become like California as it is now Especially since Texas is also the best state for the logical allowance of guns and home defense safety

Remember. The grass isn’t greener no matter where you move. It’s just different grass

Oh I can tell you the grass literally is much greener.
I completely agree
Minneapolis and Austin both make you spend a large amount of the year inside to escape the weather, one in the winter and the other in the summer.
Sounds horrible. I’m getting out of LA, which is absolutely horrible. I’ve decided to get the hell away from any city. That is not living.
I haven’t heard of one person wearing a Maga hat in Austin committing a crime???
This whole video is just lies. Families are still moving to Autin in droves. She's just generalizing
I was there for three days beautiful city !! 😍 I fell in love with its upbeat vibes San Antonio was Ahhmazing too!!!
How is South Austin not technically Austin?
Same reason North Las Vegas is not Las Vegas. They are two different cities.

It's too expensive. and too many people moving in
Compton CA or San Francisco very romantic cities 💩💩👍👍
Austin was once a hippie art vibe, now it’s hyper-political(Marxist)..very aggressive and in your face.
wow your so pretty, great info on this post too!
Thank you! 🫶🏽🫶🏽
6:30 you mean devolving.
Come to Charlotte lol
The Old Austin?! lol sorry but you don’t look old enough to say that.
Texas in general just sucks tbh
Why
@@TexasFireMedic humid hot, bad laws. High taxes.
@@naysaynetwork5271 high taxes where ? And what laws . I’m curious since I moved to Tyler TExas 3 weeks ago for a firefighting job
@@TexasFireMedic home taxes. Dont worry about that if you dont plan on owning a home.
East Texas sucks lol. I went to college in Tyler. Youre gonna hate it there if you dont go to shreveport or dallas as often as you possibly can.
This is wildly inaccurate.
So is your face LMAO
JOE ROGAN GENTRIFIED AUSTIN
Austin is a complete overhype. There are better cities.
Name 3 😮
Mopac becoming Mo and Mo pac'd each year!
911 calls now have a ten minute or so wait, Get out if you can!
That’s everywhere lol
Defund the police an I right
Are you native and grew up in Austin ? I heard people from there are frustrated with all the Northerners moving in and changing the whole vibe..
Yess i grew up here! It is quite frustrating but still a lot of positives to living in this city - especially if it’s already home 😊
Small town? Austin has been a major city since forever.
Old Austin was where I could interact w someone at a house party then run into them at the lake 3 weeks later. Hippies, cowboys and hispanics got along but progressive leaning culture rooted that out a bit. Still a great place w some growing pains.
Do liberal people make conservative areas meaner?
@@links1356 Nope. liberals just destroy the land they touch
@@links1356yes, if you can’t see what’s been happening the last 4 years you’re blind.
@@links1356Progressives became intolerant to other views, and very aggressively abusive.

yeah because California is ruined by the same thing, corporation are ruining the fabrications of life.
Doesn’t look like anyone is leaving💀

If you are familiar with my content you would see I’m aligned
Lies you sell. Ive been in ATX 8 years. Aint nobody leaving.
Interesting! Thank you 🙏. I lived in Pflugerville many years ago for about one year. I’m in Taiwan now.
I live in Austin now and ready to move to Taiwan or Japan. Want to change my life
And they call it progress 😒
How does the worst thing you ever seen?
Denver used to be this way too. It used to be perfect, like a clean small town city but now it’s overcrowded and busting at its seams just like Austin.
Yeah, no they're not 😂.
Yea, it is pretty cold in Puerto Rico in the summer.
This is spot on. Say thank you to "mayor " Steve 'Cabo" Adler.

Rich people are complaining about the Heat, and the Cold. This ain't California or the French Riviera. Texas has always been a tough place to live
#1reason because it has become a liberal SH. Plain and simple.
austin is nice but its so expensive
What’s nice about it? I live here it sucks really.
ditto!@@cindispy0000
Natasha your should move to San Francisco. It fits your personality to a tee. You would love that place.
Yea if you wanna get car jacked and NOT be able to protect yourself
