Only if you like live music, a beautiful city, wonderful people, and an old guy who rides his bike around town in a thong, usually pink.

Austin would be an even better place to live if it wasn't in the middle of a dysfunctional state run by right-wing wingnuts.
To be fair, everyone's objection to Austin is that it is located in the state of Texas.
SF would be an even better place to live if it wasn't in the middle of a dysfunctional state run by left-wing wingnuts.

See how that works?

Yes, not as well. California's dysfunction is due to its own right-wing wingnuts.
California being in debt to the gills is the result of the right wing? Meh. Dem politicians rule CA now and have for quite some time. Jerry Brown ring a bell?

California’s budget woes combined with poor economic results have long made it a poster child for poor fiscal management. The state’s credit rating has been downgraded to an A- by S&P, the lowest rating for any U.S. state, and its budget and pension shortfalls are infamous. How long has it been since CA had any GOP hegemony again? I'm no Republican, but shifting the blame won't work in a fact-rich environment.

Here in NYC it's at least as hot, but air conditioning solves the problem nicely during day hours.
NYC is above 90 for what, 10-20 says a year? I'd wager Austin is above 90 for 150+
Close.

Average # of Days Above 90 degrees: 111

yeah, that's pretty brutal.
I was in Austin about a month ago and it was 102. Their 102 is comparable to New York at 92-94.

It's still hot, but not the hellish kind of heat you'd expect from the numbers, because the humidity is lower.

Leslie passed away a while back, but he remains iconic.
He's not talking about Leslie (as far as I know): there is another.
Sounds like SF...
