I was born in Texas, grew up in Massachusetts, and want to move to back to Texas when I graduate college a year from now.
A friend of mine and I are thinking about working out living arrangements in Austin.
Is the economy as good as rumors say? I know what stats say about the Mexican population of Austin, but does anyone have firsthand information on what the political and social atmosphere of the city is?
>>77274114
It's the bomb.
Economy is fantastic, but it's being steadily invaded by low class mexicans and niggers. usually just for the music festivals, but each time there is a bit more that stay.
it's very liberal compared to the rest of texas, and still feels like a college town in a lot of way.
it's also sprawling all over the place
>>77274114
Rent is not cheap.
Get out of town for SXSW unless you're playing shows.
People forget it's the capital of a red state.
So culturally very liberal but legally pretty center if not conservative.
More Alex Jones types and libertarians than you'd expect.
Downtown, west, and north are completely taken over by Califags.
Still nice people but fake as shit.
Slowly taking over East side which is gentrification central.
Lots of outdoors stuff to do.
Lots of amazing breweries if you like that.
Most segregated large city in Texas.
Largest city with a decreasing black population.
Used to be most Hispanics were Texas born and mostly conservative.
That's changing thanks to ass holes like my aunt.
Fun town if you can deal with heat, traffic, and allergies.
>>77277033
All of this is true. Also Alex Jones literally lives here, so that's why there are so many Alex Jones types around.
>>77277168
I've met him a couple times.
Cool guy.
Definitely puts on a persona for his show.
It's a shithole, don't come here. I'm bailing for New Braunfels or San Marcos as soon as my lease is up.
Also BY FAR the best employment opportunity for anyone frequenting this board is with the police department. Adjusting for cost of living we're like top 5 highest paid cops in the US. Benefits are insane too, plus law enforcement is basically the most redpilled job there is. And we're 300 officers short, so if you're 21 and not a felon you're hired.
>>77277421
I would go with New Braunfels.
San Marcos is only amazing during the summer when the kids are gone.
recent Austin transplant. way more faggots than I was hoping for. living costs always increasing. good job selections tho. wish I was in a redder part of texas.
>>77278000
Austin and Houston are the blueish zones of Texas. Houston being a bit worse for being Mexico 2.0
>>77278190
yeah well the mexicans here are mostly working class and keep to themselves. I live in the rich part and not too many live here. I hate downtown Austin and rarely see dindus so life is good.
>>77277421
needs HEB logo
>>77278380
God bless HEB
>>77278371
>rarely see dindus
This is BY FAR the best part of living here. There are no fucking black people, anywhere.
>>77278694
They all got gentrified and pushed out to Del Valle.
Not Del Valle is a shit hole.
dont move here
>>77278694
except for downtown it's pretty rare. downtown is a giant chimp out waiting to happen at any moment.
>>77278911
Checked
Most of the dindus I know of found their way up to Pflugerville and the east side of Round Rock. Del Valle has been a fucking barrio for as long as I can remember

>>77274114
Rent is really expensive and the town is being totally overran by non-Americans.
Funny that I am considering moving to Massachusetts.
>>77279068
I live in Northwest Hills, kikes and students (read: gooks) are the only minorities around here. I don't go south of 15th unless someone else is buying the booze.
>>77278687
Fuck HEB and their monolopy in Austin.
Other cities actually get to have a choice of stores but not Austin for some reason.
>>77277421
do they polygraph?
>>77279611
spic detected
white neighborhoods always have a randalls nearby
>>77277421
>And we're 300 officers short, so if you're 21 and not a felon you're hired.
Really? I'm 22, never been charged with anything, no degree or military experience. Have some college but haven't finished yet, should I bother applying? I'm interested in LEO work.
>>77279811
When considering the number in the city compared to HEB my point still stands.
>>77279811
I used to think having 2 or 3 choices was decent, have you been to Dallas?
>>77279811
I still don't see the appeal of Randall's.
>>77280084
It is never ever crowded.
That is the beauty of charging more for everything.
>>77277421
Where is Whataburger?
>>77277812
78666 here, Summer Marcos is best Marcos
Austin is really cool, but really expensive to live in. The traffic is mother-fucking-insane and is only getting worse due to the fact that 100 people a day are moving to the city from the rest of the country due to the "economy is amazing and city is amazing" rumors that spread all over.
Yes, its really cool, but I live in San Antonio and just drive 45 minutes north whenever I want to "experience Austin" and then drive back to my low traffic, low cost of living city that also has tons of jobs.... its just not as cool if you like doing random shit on week nights.
>>77274114
Move to the suburbs. Round Rock/cedar park/pflugerville/lake Travis area/Lagos vista
>>77277421
>fuck illegals
Um yeah that is why the state is overflowing with them and each main city is a god damn traitor sanctuary city.
>>77279068
So true. Accidentally bumped into a black guy downtown during SXSW and he started coming at me like he wanted to fight.
>>77280307
>but I live in San Antonio
What is it like living in a mexican colony?
>>77280307
as an SF transplant I can't find anything cool to do in Austin so I just get /fit/
The city and suburbs are literally being overrun by Californians who are driving up rents and home prices and they never shut the fuck up about the heat and humidity. Don't like it? Go the fuck back to California.
>>77280325
If you want to live in a sterilized yuppie consumer hell hole.
>>77280302
Mah nigga
Is the river still flooded or is it safe to get in again? I haven't kept up with news since we're dealing with a lot of flooding ourselves up here.
>>77280700
Constantly want to turn it into where they came from. "We fucked Cali with high taxes, regulations, and a welfare state. Let's do that here!"
>>77274114
I own a house like 5 blocks from downtown. If you have money and like getting told your neighborhood needs more diversity, move here. People bitch to me daily about how white my area was even though ten years ago it was the fucking ghetto where coloreds ran wild. My response is, if you have enough money to live around me, you can be whatever color you want.
>>77280925
78702?
>>77274114
stay gone
>>77274114
I heard it's the San Francisco of the south, but what do I know.
>>77281027
yes.
>>77281181
Nice.
I don't live over there but I work for a civil engineer so I have a shit ton of projects over there.
Fuck people bitching about gentrification.
I can actually hang out over there unlike my childhood when it was blacks north of 7th and Latinos to the south.
>>77279768
yes
>>77279816
Yeah you'll get hired. Drugs, wife beating, DUI, and prior felony are the auto DQs, if you can get past that you're pretty much in.
>>77280021
>living in Dallas
why anyone would want to be in that dindu infested mexican shithole is beyond me. only having 2 grocery stores is a more than acceptable tradeoff
>>77280084
it sucks
>>77280278
>>77278380
i didn't make the image nigger deal with it
>>77280401
Austin isn't and Abbot is working on that
>>77280528
unless you're an alcoholic hipster this town really has nothing to offer
>>77280925
>People bitch to me daily about how white my area was
Really man?
God damn it.
>>77280512
I literally only stay in the Northwest side of town where the whites live.
Do not venture past the containment zone.
>>77281073
It's not anywhere near that bad yet, but yeah we're on the way. Above average percentage of faggots to be sure, but at least we're not as cucked as Houston. They actually elected a bull dyke mayor
>>77281447
>mexican shithole
Are you in Austin or not?
I guess if you are just on campus all the time you don't notice or something..
>>77281417
yea the same people bithcing about how white and rich is over here and is in need of colored should move to Beruit I mean near Stassney with the rest of the people that gave up on their dreams. Yellow Jacket is my go to hangout place.
>>77281639
Dallas County:
22% dindu
38% wetback
33% White
Travis County:
9% dindu
33% wetback
51% white
>>77281693
>Yellow Jacket
There is still hope for /pol/
I was at tamale house the other day.
Always stop at Yellow Jacket for a drink after.
>>77281476
yea people are jealous where I live. They hate us because we are on top in Austin. My property taxes are 8k a year and only increasing. If someone who doesn't know where I live always talk about how diverse the place used to be and how it should remain diverse. Fucking poor people destroy everything.
>>77274114
Texas is great... we don't want any northerners here tho. Stay in liberal heaven Massachusetts... Austin is bad enough already with that shit
Went to school at UT and living here now.
Has become over populated with shit skins and homeless.
Still awesome, best city in Texas.
Go down scottish woods trail and wall the Hill of Life. You will see me and my big white dog there daily.
>>77282079
I love that place. I always >tip the bartenders well there because the comp 5 or so of my drinks. The micheladas are so good there.
CIA is planning on keeping this city running during the collapse BTW.
>>77282335
>>77282546
I was there yesterday.
Nice pics Anon.
That pebble beach has supplied me with endless good times.
And it's flowing so well that rock right there is pretty much submerged.
Love me some greenbelts during El Niño.
>>77282432
Have you been to Zilker brewery next to Yellow Jacket?
>>77282282
As with anywhere the lowIQ liberals are the loudest and get the most screen time.
When you move to Austin you realize there is a VAST silent majority of cool normalies that really just want to live and let live.
Also Fredricksburg is only 45 mins away and it is basically German-American heaven.
When I go out its usually Rainey street. 6th has been infested with shitskins and guidos it is only fun on Thursdays unless you wanna bro out and fight.
Bitches here are way hot...like Gainsville, Florida hot.
>>77277421
>tfw will never be a cop in Texas
kill me
>>77282886
Nice! Yeah it is flowing beautifully right now. Sunday somebody busted their ass at the lower crossing and rescue teams were on the scene. I crossed and carried my 90 lbs dog in my arms and the people who had called for the other guy were freaking out.
Today its pretty excessivly sunny and hot so I am thinking laps at deep eddy.
>>77274114
fuck austin fucking libtard polesmokers
>>77283531
I have seen some epic shit go down on top of that waterfall.
People trying to take bikes across it.
Dumb bitches crossing it with their phones and sandals in their hands.
Some ass hat tried to cross it with a puppy last summer and fell.
Saved himself instead of the puppy.
I was on the rock in the water down below and had to save it's poor ass.
So many idiots there nowadays littering up a storm.
>>77274114
>grew up in Mass
I'm sorry to hear that, son.
>>77284441
this. it'll take a while for op to reacclimated to the shit humidity here.
>reminder this is the elected chairman of the Travis county GOP

Im moving here soon. Huge tech salaries
>>77280796
At least there aren't any niggers. And the few that there are act whiter than the white people.
>>77274114
Going to Austin and saying you're going to Texas, is the like saying you're going to London, England, Texas.
I would say move to Pflugerville in a nice suburb. Everything you could want is there or in a 10-15 mile radius and down town isn't far. You can get a fairly large house for a fair price and they're not all degenerate unless you're some stupid millennial or college students from UT. The Mexicans really aren't that bad and blacks aren't that large of the population unless you're closer to the city, in a bad part of town or on the east side. Heat is brutal though. I think Cedar Park is better personally but that's Wilco and they're serious cock sucking faggots. Also, be aware that if you live in a fairly nice location expect to pay 6grand a year in property taxes and HoA are cunts too.
>>77274114
Texas economy is tanking because all the oil fields are shutting down. I live in East Texas. Fucking hate it here.
>>77274114
Stay the fuck out.
TEX.
>>77281447
Wrong. Austin is indeed a sanctuary city. So is Dallas, and Houston, and Corpus, and San Antonio...
>>77274114
If you're leftist then stay the fuck out.
>>77274114
Don't move here. It's getting way too crowded, traffic is atrocious, it's filled with spics, faggots, bull dykes, hipsters, and the worst types of SJW cunts, cost of living is perpetually increasing, there are constantly events bringing in even more faggots and hipsters. If you're even remotely redpilled it's a city of constant aggravation.
>>77286813
San Antonio is okay but the others? Not unless you're fairly fucking wealthy you'll be living with real pieces of shit and the trash from New Orleans. Dallas does have an In-n-Out tho can't remember if the other cities have them yet.
>>77277421
I don't know if you would like san marcos. although compared to Austin its probably pretty nice. I lived there for a year and there were vatos everywhere. A student shot three during a home invasion I saw two police chases, and a womans van was stolen while she swam at the municipal pool. That is just what I saw in my time there, no reflection of all the other shit. Maybe cross devils backbone and look for an oasis. That area is BEAUTIFUL.
>>77277033
The most accurate representation of Austin I've ever seen on /pol/. I grew up in the oil patch of West Texas. Austin is way more fun but the downside is the attendant problems of any urban setting. Sure the people aren't as dumb as mining village bumpkins, but they mostly have their heads up their asses. Traffic sucks.
But the physical geography is great and it's only 3.5 hours from Port Aransas.
>>77279611
Randalls, Super Target, Wal Mart Super Center, Costco. Also, I know some HEBs are garbage, but some are fucking nice re:Lakeline and Mueller HEBs are awesome.
>>77286907
I've been here for 5 years. Where do you find these worst of the worst sjws? I've only ever ran into maybe two or three people during my time here that are full on sjw. What kind of shit places do you hang around?
>>77274114
>Moving to Austin
Fuck off we are full
>>77280084
Non-whites don't go there much.
>>77287535
Have you been inside of a Randalls? Hardly better looking than la michiocana
>>77281476
Yes. White guilt and white hate is strong here.
>>77287897
WHERE.
>>77279811
If he was a spic, he'd be shopping at Fiesta. I'm not a spic and I shop there anyway, for all the stuff HEB doesn't have.
>>77274114
stay the fuck out fagit, austin does not want you
>>77287497
Do you just never go downtown?
Stick with one of the suburbs. Either Pflugerville or Round Rock. Rent is cheaper and you can still head into Austin when needed.
>>77288420
I live 5 miles from downtown. That's a retarded question.
>>77287497
>>77287788
>>77287940
Do you just never leave your house or what? You live in a white, upscale area there anon? You don't seem to know a thing about Austin and the shit your spouting doesn't jive with what the rest of the Austinites itt are saying, because it doesn't jive with the reality of Austin.
>>77288829
You're*
>>77288829
Oh right your little victim complex "everyone here hates muh white skin" is totally the reality I live in everyday. Delusional fuck
>>77274114
You want the awesomeness of TX and the city? Fort Worth is the answer.
t. Texan
rent and cost of living there is RETARDED, you have to be quite well off to live there, traffic is shit, the city planners want to 'keep Austin weird' which means not expanding roads so be ready for a long commute just driving a few blocks. Also, hipsters....everywhere....
>>77289006
I'm desi, asshole. Try again.
>>77288754
How is it possible to live near UT campus and Sixth Street and not see /pol/-propaganda-tier SJW stereotypes at least once a day?
>>77289368
>> WHITE GUILT AND WHITE HATE ARE STRONG HERE
>> IM NOT EVEN WHITE
>> THIS IS REALITY OF AUSTIN
Delusional self loathing fuck
>>77289517
He's lying, never leaves his little bubble, or is oblivious and stupid.
>>77274114
Why would you move to live with liberal faggots and non-whites? Texico is shit. I'm getting out ASAP.
>>77289517
Maybe because it's not as common as /pol/ exaggerates (color me surprised)
The only sjw crap I had to experience at UT was sjw professors teaching unimportant class with heavy femenist undertones. It was a visual and performing arts class aimed at theatrical performance, so again a worthless class with no significance outside of that auditorium.
>>77277421
New Braunfels here, it's absolutely amazing.
>>77280512
South side is South Africa + California.
Don't ever go there at night.
>>77289741
I'm oblivious and stupid and live in a bubble. Yet you claim to live in a reality where white guilt and white hate are common discourse within the community.
Idiot. I live with people who work for the city and the mayors office and can andattend these types of fucking discussions no where do I ever hear or see "kill whitey" or "muh white guilt" as being a majority in anything. You spend too much time on pol and the hilarious thing is you're not even white! Also you dumb fuck I was born and raised in Texas. Fucking kill yourself
>>77274114
Stay out, we do not need nor want your liberalism. If you have the disease at all, you must stay in the northern containment zone.
>>77290630
Well maybe I just have a unique experience and know the wrong people and go to the wrong places. Most of the under 40 crowd I know are all heavy into the sjw stereotypical stuff and are constantly droning on about one thing or another, and I encounter hipsters on the daily. Maybe my experience is skewed far away from the norm in ATX, I supose I have to admit itself possible, but all I've got to go on is my own personal experience, which is all any of us really has to go on when trying to gauge the cultural atmosphere of a ngiven place.
>>77282886
zilker beer isn't good.
>>77291683
I think the more conservative a place, the more it exacerbates the SJW situation. Just think, for every extremist you see there is likely 6 family members that are on the opposite end of the political spectrum. It's just that they are very visible loud mouths. They want to be a special snowflake, but they're just being rebellious and contrarian
>>77280796
>If you want to live in a sterilized yuppie consumer hell hole
Isn't that the definition of pretty much every average, white, middle class American suburb?
>>77281693
tfw when william cannon & s1st
>>77283062
Look into TxDPS.
They get good pay and are highly respected.
My current history of the mexican revolution prof gave me an A on a paper shitting on a Marxist historiographer. Of course some of the intellectuals at UT are pussy faggots, but some are pretty cool.
>>77292888
look at the flag, hes suomi, texasbro
pretty sure he's a long ways from being able to apply to be US law enforcement
>>77280302
Fuck the college kids they ruin everything and are stupid as fuck drivers
But summer macros is amazing i love going to the parks and the river
>>77292836
>tfw slaughter ln

>>77293497
Can you sum up the Mexican Revolution in greentext pls
>>77292836
Speaking of which.
There's a happening there right now.
Got the whole north side of the intersection sealed off wight next to HEB
>>77294715
That's the ghetto HEB, but the taqueria across the street has God tier tacos.
