Greetings. Im what you would call a newbie on this sight and Ive decided to try and obtain more information as to where would be a better fit for me and my family. Me and the Mrs. have 2 small kids (ages 12 and 9) and one more munchkin on the way. We recently sold our business here in Las Vegas and we are currently looking at 2 business opportunities, one Austin and another one in Kona. Both opportunities would provide a stable family environment in terms of quality time spent with the little ones and sufficient income. We are looking to get some insight as to how both cities stack up against one another in terms of family life as well as social aspects. We have friends and family all throughout Texas and various friends throughout Hawaii. We are not big partiers and very rarely drink. In regards to schooling we have determined that home schooling would be better served for our little ones. Any pros or cons would be appreciated. Thanks

If you are that far apart on deciding between two places, then you have not done much homework. Try learning more about each place using the City-Data demographics data here //www.city-data.com/

With only a glance, it is clear that there are huge differences between the two places.

Do you homework and then ask questions.

It's hard to imagine two places on earth as different as Kona and Austin.

I guess what Im trying to get at is what Austin has to offer, good or bad. Im not really looking for a comparison per say but rather a locals perspective as to what every day life is like.

Austin has a lot to offer, but your questions are too vague. Study, focus and ask some specific questions.

Anyplace in the world has some positive comparisons.

Did you read the sticky thread at the top of the forum about Austin? Make an effort to understand the basics, then ask questions... //www.city-data.com/forum/austi...fo-thread.html

I was merely trying to ask for help yet I get barraged with some condescending and ignorant statements. Obviously you dont know much about history let alone possess the knowledge about your own state.
