Considering i am in the younger generation i can tell you the ones bolded none of the young kids want to move to. Yes there are alot of young people living in these cities but i can tell you we all want to move to Miami, Atlanta, NYC, SF, LA, Chicago and San Diego.
Wow. That's really neat that you know every person in the "younger generation", and know where they all want to live.
Why do people want to live in Las Vegas and Pheonix? What is the desire? Las Vegas is great for weekend trips, but to live there in 100+ degree heat in the summer? No thanks.
i dont live in vegas but my family does.
they would prolly say:
a) better dining options
b) better entertainment options
c) lower taxes/cost of living

That's simply not true, because I've heard many "young kids" who want to move to these places. Granted, many youths from Cali may not want to live in those places, but there is a large country out there outside of California...
Young people on CD are't a good indication of where the majority of people who want to move somewhere to buy a house and start a family want to go. The above list is a great list of so-called "cultural" meccas fine for 20 somethings to rent in, usually with roommates, and be transient. That list sucks for buying a house, property taxes, having a yard, with the exception of a few cities. People have been moving to Phoenix and Las Vegas by the hundreds of thousands for over 40 years now and it's for a better quality of life. A long term quality of life not determined by barely making it just so they can say they live close to "________"(insert your snottiest coastal city here). If you can't live an interesting life in any large city you need your entertainment spoonfed to you. 9 out of 10 who take the road to bohemia and end up in San Francisco or Portland just hang out at bars, parties, and just observe and discuss other people really creating culture. You can be on the forefront of of art in Omaha, if you have it in you, otherwise you're typically another artist/waiter in Manhattan hanging around for a few years.
San Antonio is attracting a lot of people more than Austin so it does makes sense, Austin is right there too though.
I would live in San Antonio over Austin. I haven't been to San Antonio but I've heard pretty good things about it. I have visted Austin once back in 2007 and couldn't see what all the fuss is about. The downtown (vibe, not skyline) put me in mind of a large Fayetteville, Arkansas to be honest, but then again I am not big into the hipster scene.
