Austin may be socially liberal but it is classically conservative. It is conservative to look at new industries with skepticism and pass common-sense regulations that give everyone a level playing field.

And I was replying to the parent who referred to ex-West coast liberals migrating to Austin. If these people expected a "progressive" government like they might find in San Francisco, they were probably disappointed by the actions of the Austin City Council and its support from Austin voters.
