These are two cities that are quite similar in a lot of ways. They both house a major state university (that loves football), they're both state capitals and they are around the same size (Columbus has the slight edge in the metro. I'm expecting Austin will pass it soon).
Vote for which city you like overall in the poll and post which city do you prefer in these categories:
Downtown
Food
Culture
Nightlife
Diversity
Capitol Building
Economy
Universities

Austin will win this poll, because for some reason, it has obtained some mystical reputation as some artistic utopia of perfection. When in realtiy, it's severly over-rated. Columbus is growing and thriving, but still an unknown to most.
COL: Columbus
Rent: Columbus
Mass transit: Columbus
traffic: Columbus
Austin: too hot, too much traffic, too flat, too Texas

Austin has more goofy looking white people ("bohemian") so if course it would have more votes on city-data.
LOL. Austin is very diverse sir. But yes, a ton of hipster types as well.
