Thirty years ago, Austin woulda been a place I'd move to. Unless you vacation there and really scout it out, check Fifth street downtown, even broad day. Check out the toll road thing. And look at a place that would suit you. Check with a realtor and see what a reasonable place costs, then take the information from a realtor and go get the average utility costs. There have been a few power plants shut down, electricity prices are climbing. Tree huggers vandalise GasGuzzlers parked at Barton Springs,or so I hear. Maybe it's still better than where you are, I used to visit occasionally, but from what I've heard, pretty as the place is, I would not be seen there unless it was just between where I am and where I need to go.
When we moved from Midland to East Texas I loaded the family up in the van and once we got into places that were visually appealing we started talking to people about school,jobs,crime, and was gassing up to go home,so sad that the lady saw and asked me what was wrong.. Told her the story,she said don't give up. Stay the night, go to Whitehouse, south of Tyler.... I'm happy to say that we got good enough reason to move there. Moving is a big deal. Discovering that you've moved to a place that doesn't meet your needs would suck big-time.
