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.

Have been listening to this take since I moved here in 2005 and it was bullshit then and it's bullshit now... No disrespect meant. I've moved around and come back. Austin is still a place with chill people. It's still a place teeming with artists/musicians. It's just now the whole world knows about us.

Yup. agree. Wasn’t meaning to dunk on Austin. It is what it is. Fastest growing cities in the U.S. so people like it. We should have more growing cities

It’s ok to interrogate growth. Not all growth is the same
