Exactly, so why start a post about it in the first place?

There are plenty of posts from people asking which city in Texas they should move to, and you can just respond to those. But do it fairly, otherwise you just look like you have an axe to grind!

I thought both Dallas and Houston were worthless and Austin was the only decent place in Texas?

Yes, Austin is the only worthwhile place in Texas. In the entire southern part of the country for that matter. No, in the entire country while we're at it! KIDDING

In a lot of ways, Madison is better than Austin. And Chicago is certainly better than Dallas. Houston... is closer to Chicago. So you're all mixed up!

Not really. Comparing Madison to Dallas is like comparing Austin to Dallas because they are both better than Dallas.

Let's put your entire town of pretentious pseudo-liberals up against our citys' funky, highly liberal, yet laidback and unpretentious neighborhoods.

Keep what weird?
What the hell is this for?

Wow! They actually lift you up and carry you? Y'all really are friendly. Sounds like a nice way to help someone overcome by the famous Texas heat or someone who was over-served.
