It’s great that Austin is this growing city but it’s basically just turning into a massive sprawl like LA without the beaches.

Austin was great when it was the only liberal and cultural oasis in TX, back when that meant something. When it was a Texas-sized college town. SXSW created a reality distortion field for tourists looking for the Good Life and since then they’ve been trying to graft a tech hub on top of a place that was never suited.

That's not quite cringe though like when Caitlin Long was pushing Wyoming being a good place for crypto startups because the gov't had legal DAO's. She said nothing about Wyoming being dumb af windyville.
