Living near Austin, I'm having some trouble with the "hellhole" epithet. I've lived in Southern California, New York (Long Island), Indiana (rural), Chicago (city & suburban), and I vote for Austin. Both the people and the place.

But, I guess diversity of opinion is a good thing.

aww...

you really have to give Austin a chance.

Great food, hopping music scene, friendly and educated people, liberal atmosphere, awesome weather (well, it is kinda hot in the summer; but that's what Barton Springs is for! (and hey, you can go topless....and yes, plenty of attractive girls do...) ) And there is plentiful, affordable homegrown dank that you can find without too much trouble (which i know appeals to you holo...)

More well-traveled friends than I have described is as a little island of Northern California dropped into the middle of Texas, minus any snobbery, but with the superior BBQ of Texas (sorry, it's just a fact; and no, Carolinians, your BBQ is all weird and molasses based...). The Mexican food is equally good, albeit a bit different.

I agree with MDAdams, I've lived in Orlando, DC, and Huntsville (AL) and I still think Austin was the best city to live in. There is simply so much to do.

My last comment was made before a recent trip that away, and I have to admit - I was wrong. Austin rules. I'd still be kinda weary of living in an oasis of awesome within a sea of suck, but given the right circumstances I'd move there in a heartbeat.
