A majority of the folks in the area I have been talking about have lived in this area for 20 plus years ( I am not talking about West Lake Hills, that is all new money, hence tech industry hence California and transplants). Most old Texans and Old Austinites, which in turn have many southern distinctions. Please do not try and argue with me on this fact. I have lived in the neighborhood for a very long time, and my parents even longer. When I was in high school, at Old Austin High, most of the kids from West Austin had parents, grandparents, and great-grand parents who attended AHS. There is tradition here and most of us are proud of this and hold on to it. I have to stop and go to a meeting. Good day.
I agree. To say Austin is not southern at all is nonsense!
Wow, that from a guy who calls himself DC's finest. DC must have even worst public schools than I thought.
DC's Finest is right. But I think he's comparing DC proper to Texas. When you compare DC to Texas of course Texas is going to be country as %#$^.
For the people who doubt it why don't you check out DC and then judge for yourself. Now when you compare it to NOVA then its comparable to Houston proper. But neither downtown Houston or downtown Dallas will ever compare to DC proper. At least not in the next 100 years.

Compare DC proper to Texas??? How to hell does that work??
DC proper is more urban, but Houston and Dallas definitely aren't country compared to it. The DC area becomes very sprawled once out the core, worse than Dallas or Houston.
Since you actually live in one of the two places mentioned I decided to take that into account. But like I said above, I consider both areas to be Southern, NOVA has a heavy northern twist while Austin also has western culture.
Yeah this is all relative. If you live in NYC then VA and TX are both southern places.

First of all. You can't compare a CITY to an entire state. So in essence, he is correct and he is NOT correct.
I am about to move to DC proper and I do not find it any different than Houston's inner loop or Dallas inside loop 12. Again, I ask you the same question as I asked DC finest. What do you know about these cities. When's the last time you been there. How long was you there. Oh and I hope Downtown Houston or Downtown Dallas will never be like downtown DC. Why copy another cities downtown.

It's not that. It's just that it's so irrelevant. No one's discussing this.
