How Austin remains on peoples' wish lists is beyond me. I used to live there and loved it back in the early 90's, but the influx of newcomers who arrived 20-30 years later seem to think today's version is heaven. I know that's subjective, but they haven't a clue as to how fun and live-and-let-live the city used to be.
That’s the Austin I loved. The problem is it has grown so much in the last four years and outgrew its infrastructure. I hate driving there anymore.

Spent a lot of long weekends in Austin in the '70s and '80s. What a fun, laid back city. Loved it!
Left TX back in Dec '86. Sounds like Austin is just another soulless, woke city with the typical ineffective leadership. Too bad.
How do we know the political stance of these people? Not everyone in Austin is liberal. White liberals and conservatives are prone to do that stuff. It’s cultural, not political.
Maybe because no conservative would ever use that pussified term “.....display of toxic masculinity,” or be frightened of a car club meet that has met regularly for decades?

I still go back and visit once a year. The homeless population is out of control, as is traffic. Many longtime establishments have been priced out of downtown or are just gone. Just relics and bones of a bygone era and quickly being replaced by soulless hi-rises filled with soulless woke transplants. I'm happy Elysium on Red River still exists (for now). The Austin of today is no longer the Austin I remember and loved. Some local businesses have been pushed out to South Lamar as overhead prices have increased downtown, so there's that. But even that area is gentrifying too quickly.
White liberals are all about "helping" minorities until they actually interact with them. They get upset and say they're bad and scary if they don't behave like the helpless pathetic victims that white liberals believe they are.
Many snowbird transplants ruined Florida. What was slow old south, beach/tourist town iving became NYC south by late last century. Transplants like to transplant EVERYTHING. What they had they still want just in a different climate or location. Call it gentrification but it's transplants bring their old life with them.
The transplants/gentrifiers will try to get local politicians elected to cater to their special needs.

Yep, Austin used to be cool. Independent, weird, fun loving, accepting, now it's douchebag central.

They're virtue signalers who think they know better/are smarter.
