Austin may be experiencing loss but they are only moving to the suburbs like Round Rock and Leander, creating overcrowding and traffic

[ThomasSunBorn]

I agree with all your reasons but I think the #1 reason people are leaving because there’s a culture clash between the rich and middle class. Austin was one of the most friendliest city no one looked down on anyone “keep Austin weird”
But in recent years the vibe has changed. I did Uber and Shipt delivers and refused to deliver in central Austin. Condo after condo with no access to get inside and deliver and no where to park. There is like a million homeless people in downtown next to million dollar condos and they complain. I accidentally went in to a parking garage that was only meant for residents to deliver a TV with Shipt and some old guy got out of his car yelling at me because i wasn’t a resident.
The middle class people that work those everyday jobs have been pushed out. Now that condo lifestyle are no longer worth it because nothing is conveniently accessible.

Austin stopped being Austin when too many people moved there. The values, culture and social interaction isn't the same. Traffic, taxes, high cost of living, uncool out of state folks. Really pretentious and closed off. Once upon a time I loved hanging out there. I haven't felt that in about 10 years.

Lived in Austin in the 80’s. Was the last decade of what Austin used to be. Went back in mid 2000’s. Unrecognizable. Bummed it’s changed so much.

I’ve lived in Austin for 3 1/2 years and I think it’s reached its expiration date for me. It’s so overpriced, the traffic sucks, the weather is brutal, crime and homelessness is getting worse, and it just feels like one big transitional kind of place for people, no real sense of “home”; but that last part is more of a personal thing for me.

[taipan]

It is because Austin is looking like Los Angeles every single day.. they claim they would never do that..

[Love-dwry]

I so appreciate your honesty! Your expertise combined with first-hand knowledge of the area is extremely valuable! Thank you for sharing this! 🌸🏵🌼

[GratitudeHelps]

Thank you for sharing candidly about Austin. The rolodex of videos you've made is especially appreciated for us curious about making a move.

[carefulconsumer]

Crime, air pollution, traffic congestion. Thank you.

I left Austin in 2010 and even then it was changing so much that the old Austin I fell in love with had ceased to exist. Don’t even get me started on South Congress, it was the coolest part of the city and now it’s changed to the point. I don’t care if I ever see it again. However, the continental club is still awesome..

[stevecorder]

Longtime Austinite here. Agree with everything you said. One by one, the cool “Austiny” places are being replaced by soulless “real estate developments.” And it’s true that there has always been an undercurrent vibe that avoids growth. The moniker “Live Music Capital of the World” is no longer true. SXSW and ACL are echoes of another time. We can hope that some of the quirkiness survives in the new places that being created. Austin Playhouse, Q2 stadium, and Rock Rose at the Domain are all steps in the right direction…

You are on point! I been here for 8 years. The closing of Lucy in Disguise with Diamonds broke my heart.

I just turned 74 and lived in Austin a few years from 69 to 73. Back then you could buy a nice home for less than 20, 000 bucks. I really miss Austin the way it was, it was literally a small town then with a lot of music and not too many people. In fact, during the day, Austin for all intent and purposes, looked deserted/empty. I remember walking down Guadalupe on a nice summer day and not even seeing another human being on the street! Can you imagine that today? You could rent a house for less than a100 bucks a month! Yep, us Baby Boomers had it pretty good for a while. I live in Fort Worth now and my rent has more than doubled in the last 3 years, thanks California. I was retired and now I had to go back to work full time at 74 years of age, just saying. Work till I die, literally! The beginning of the end was literally when Dell Computers first opened their doors in Austin, this started the flood of people moving to the Austin area and it has never slowed down!

My first business was on E 6th Street. This was decades ago when there was gambling in the alley, porn shops, and drag queens. Our shop was between the original Antone's and Ester's Pool. It was a hoot, and so much fun. We did work for a dance bar called Hall's because of our experience doing parties at Studio 54 in NYC. I can't believe what it has become. Reminds me of Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

Moved to austin in 2010 for job amazing days .. 24 years old, money in pocket, we enjoyed probably the last fun days in austin .. bars were amazing, it was not too dangerous, we saw the birth of rainy street party culture .. cougar clubs, speak easies, friendly crowd you can approach and say hi and have a conversatio without getting judged .. we saw the decline of this city before our eyes .. traffic, cost of living, crime, homeless situation, taxes .. i understand things can change but i guess the problem is it changed too fast and the city is not ready for that rate of change .. miss those old days in austin.. we still party sometimes but old 6th is a hell hole now ..

As someone born & raised here I hope you're right

Austin's summer heat in 2023 was could understand how newbies would freak out after experiencing last year's heat. I have lived here for 25 years and have never felt heat like last year before. I have heard our excess heat last summer was related to a huge volcanic eruption in the South Pacific that released a ultra-massive amount of moisture into earth's atmosphere. Another negative thing I have heard is that Austin's police department is now in crisis and crime here is now on the natural consequence of defunding the police department. Who's idea was that anyway? (Perhaps too many Californians have moved here!)

[AsaLeighton]

I appreciate the honesty of the this posting. I loved Austin when I was there in 2009-2011 it was perfectly weird and cozy, by Texas standards mind you. Also I used to be a fan of development but to be honest no developer does anything other then what they can get away with to make the most money. If you want things to maintain a "feel" or any conservation of a historic space then there has to be a zoning law or some type of approval governance to require that and slow the pace. Other wise the Developer will do whatever make the most ROI on the project and bulldoze and demo anything that gets in the way of that, its a reality I know. I live in New England and we have to constantly check the development so some house that general Washington or Samuel Adams used in the Revolution doesn't become a Paved over parking lot to a Meglo-mart

[willmckinney]

Great video. I walked a client’s dog for years in Zilker. It was very sad how the neighborhood changed, old houses were torn down…cookie cutter duplexes and fourplexes took their place. I’ve been here since ‘04, my girlfriend and I are planning on moving in the next few years.

[melissamontgomery]

1st video of yours I've seen. I like how real you are and also fun. I subbed. Don't think I'll be moving to Austin anytime soon though ! Best : )
