And just wanted to say it is becoming more of a shit hole every time I go back (have in laws that are in the area). Dirty as fuck, homelessness everywhere, businesses shut down, everyone wearing fear masks even if they were outside exercising. Just a total joke of a town. It’s obviously been on the decline for awhile now but it just a complete embarrassment at this point. I live in a north Houston suburb that was literally just voted the number 1 town to live in the U.S. and it is night and day (and that’s saying something because Houston has its problems too but Austin is just a complete embarrassment nothing else in Texas is on that level lol). The peak of the visit was getting our windshield washed at a stoplight. That is some straight 3rd world country type shit and I have never seen that in Texas and I have lived my entire life in this state and been all over it. Anyway just thought I would share because despite all this, there are still so many people acting like Austin is still the coolest place ever. So I had to share it with people that live in the same reality as me. Which is getting harder to find every day.

Are you smarter than a hillbilly? Of course you are, all the people paying $2000/m for a rented studio in a neighborhood where its not safe to park your car outside at night are way smarter than hillbillies, all of the smartest people live in college towns with the cool college kids. You don't want to be dumb do you?
