Special friends list medal of valor award for bunrab, who answered the objections of a seemingly endless parade of Austinites who trundled over to my Quality of Life Index post at my invitation. I now have a much more rich and nuanced view of the city.
I'm just seeing this because I was sick for a couple of days, and then we were having our bathroom remodeled, which disrupted the household somewhat.
The thing is, I know there is stuff to like about Austin, but after a while, the people who say "Oh, Austin is perfect! Austin has music! Austin is liberal!" without any qualifiers annoy me, especially if they are people who haven't worked for a living for very long, or owned property, or any of the other things that you as an adult might plan on doing. All the provincialism needs some balance.
Anyway, I'm glad my input was useful one way or another.
