Just try and convince me NOT to move to Austin! (Dallas: neighborhoods, allergies)

What exactly does Jesus have to do with it?

I wish they still had a button for negative reputation for times like these.

What does "judge not lest you be judged" have to do with it?
"if one is a good person, they will find good people" really???

Once again, without fail we get another "well if you don't like, it isn't really your fault"
Wow really!!!

Then if that's the problem then how exactly does moving to Austin change anything? it doesn't!
I'm sorry if my comments seem negative, but that might have something to do with Austinite's "this is the coolest city to live in" cult like positivity, also know as brainwashing.

Both fairly humid--if it makes you feel better though, they haven't beaten Houston which has a wonderful average 90% relative humidity (morning) and 63% relative humidity (afternoon).

I'd want to see the average dew points for each city as well. The dew point is what really determines the "comfort" of the air, much more so than relative humidity. Everywhere I've been east of Austin has felt significantly more "muggy" than Austin does, with it drying out as you go west.

Do you mean East as in Washington D.C, because...

Washington D.C.

Austin
History : Weather Underground

looks like they've got the lower dew point, as I suspected. I don't know why people don't believe Austin's got a little heat on it, (it might be less than places in Southeast Texas) but that's not saying much.

They are closer than I thought they would be.

I would never argue that Austin is hotter than the pits of hell for a big part of the year (it's the only thing I really hate about this city), but it not "muggy" all that often. It usually feels pretty dry except for the rainy season in the Spring (though rain is pretty rare here anymore).

not Muggy...NOT MUGGY. My glasses steamed up nearly everytime I stepped out of my car. Feels like Im opening up the Dishwasher in Austin. Pretty Dry compared to what, your shower?

When we moved here in the summer of '99 from Newport, RI we thought it was downright dry. I guess it all depends on your point of reference.
