Is there anywhere like Austin? With a similar job market, warm weather (never snows), affordable, and not a huge metropolis like Atlanta or Houston. I don't like huge cities.
Austin traffic is much closer to that of Atlanta and Houston than it is to Raleigh. So essentially big city traffic woes, but in a smaller city/metro (both pop. and density wise).
I've been kind of eyeing the surrounding suburbs of Austin. Round Rock, Georgetown, Pflugerville,. etc
Not exactly downtown, but it seems affordable for a truck driving wage and it's not a super long ride on a bicycle or drive in a car either if one wants to experience the night-life.
Compare that to my fruitless search for apartments in the Denver metro area where everything is pretty much cost-prohibitive in a 20-30 mile radius!!
But I'd say go for Austin, or the cities surrounding it. If my no-degree having, truck driving self could locate affordability, then this should be an easy one for you, OP.

Austin suburbs are horribly boring and to me their infrastructure is not as well built as Hosuton or Dallas.
I'm probably heading to Raleigh. Well, Somewhere in NC. I think I could make it work in Raleigh or Charlotte. Austin might be getting too crowded for me. I like the weather, but I don't like the idea of crowds and traffic everywhere. I'm trying to get away from that.

But Houston and Dallas are too big.
