Maybe, but no growth towns like Austin was in the late 80s/early 90s are pretty great for younger people who aren't all that concerned about making "a go at life."

Sounds so similar to Portland, and maybe Seattle in the 70s and 80s after Boeing shrank and before Microsoft came to town.

You would have loved East Germany in the 90s. (But seriously, it's depressing.)
