Man I amconflicted as of right now where to settle..Wifey wants to move back to Austin( her parents have a house in Birds Nest) but I want to move back to the Yay Area but Austin definately is high on my list( but more towards Round Rock to start a family)...
But the night life is great in ATX and you can find parties every night of the week and the people are just so damn friendly that it changes your attitude instantly and the food choices are straight piff but the damn traffic is a ***** and plus 6 street gets old fast.. But live music and if you are the outdoor type then you can't go wrong... Plus the yamb selection is off the wall, simply because its a college town but I have noticed alot of west coast transplants over the years and that makes the yamb pool exceptional...
Plus instead of Houston's dumb weather, you actually get seasons...
ATX is an acquired taste and some even try to throw race into the mix(which makes no damn sense) but the cost of living is still cheaper then say SF,LA,SD,NY, plus the technology game is picking up out there...
Then you are only like 1-1 1/2 from San Marcos and I don't know what's in the water but the Latinas out there are So damn Fine, plus it's a college town too..ATX is just nicely located, man even the hood is cool, lol
Not like the time I went to Dallas to visit my cousin, Man my head was on a swivel out in Oak Cliff but the night life was mad fun though lol
