That Forbes site is the worst - almost impossible to browse with so many pop-ups, videos and survey requests. Generally the articles are interesting however.

Austin makes top sneezing city list

Quote:
The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America compiled a list of the 100 worst cities for spring allergies, and Austin is on it.
Austin ranked 64th in the 100 most challenging places to live with spring allergies.
It comes as a real surprise to me that Austin is ranked so low on the list.

I see that Austin is ranked at 35th place for Fall allergies. http://www.aafa.org/pdfs/FINAL%20pub...0Fall_2014.pdf

Austin Beats San Francisco in Savills’ Tech City Metrics - Digits - WSJ

Quote:
San Francisco may have cool startups and some of the biggest names in the technology business, but when compared with 11 other global cities with strong tech clusters, the city that is home to Silicon Valley under-performs in key metrics like business environment, quality of life and property prices, according to a new report by property consultants Savills .


Measured against five metrics, San Francisco came fifth on business environment; fourth on tech environment; second on quality of life; sixth on talent pool and 8th in property affordability.


Austin, Texas, came first in the overall ranking. “It’s got the talent,” said Paul Tostevin, lead research analyst for Savills.
