I moved back to Austin, Texas when this all started. Family, breakfast tacos and more living space were all factors.

I moved out of Austin, Texas because it's pretty awful on rent these days... $2100 for a 1 BR in the Domain... oof.

I mostly lived around the city center in a house until the high rise condo developers came.

Fucking hell, I grew up in NW Hills, are those garbage Domain Apts really $2100 for a 1Br? That's absolutely bonkers!

I like visiting Austin, but after spending time in Boston and NYC Austin is flat out boring and self-centered.

It pains me, but for the past 2-3yrs I candidly refer to my home-town as quote "a shittier less cool version of LA that somehow manages to try harder".

That's where I'm looking at as well! Nothing has ever felt like home like Austin has for me.
