I mean, the whole deal in Austin was that it was super cheap, and for a super cheap town it was kinda interesting and had a funky vibe.

Now it’s very expensive while still far behind other major cities in quality of life and cultural amenities. Not a good deal anymore.

Relatedly, the funky vibe is going away as it was largely generated by interesting people living there and doing things that didn’t necessarily pay that well but worked when space was super cheap. And once you lose the community it’s really hard to get it back.
