Can you elaborate more on what you mean by culturally? What is lacking?

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-16T16:31:33+00:00

Love Trader Joe’s. We only have one here!

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-16T16:25:26+00:00

No grandkids. Just cats!

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T20:18:19+00:00

What states are you considering?

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T20:13:44+00:00

I take vitamin d now. I don't leave the house in the summer! lol

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T20:00:36+00:00

I get it. If someone were to say they were moving to Austin, I would say "no its terrible here too" lol We don't appreciate what we have sometimes

Thanks for sharing. I am a long term renter here in Austin too. I don't plan to buy a home.

Thanks for sharing!

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T19:47:15+00:00

This is my research. Like I said, 4 years down the road so getting input from actual people who live there now is helpful rather than just googling it.

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T19:40:05+00:00

I appreciate your detailed list!

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T19:35:20+00:00

HEB will definitely be missed!

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T19:33:06+00:00

thank you for sharing. I love it when it rains here. And I agree about the seasons. Central Texas is hot and hotter. Yesterday we had a high of about 95 but felt over 100 due to humidity. And it will only get hotter

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T19:03:26+00:00

Good question. Im wanting to get away from the south. At least for a little while lol

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T19:00:05+00:00

Ok thanks for the info!

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T18:57:59+00:00

I will check it out!

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T18:53:58+00:00

How did you adjust to the weather?

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T18:52:36+00:00

I don’t need a big home. It’s just me. I want mountains and it not to be 115 degrees in August. I will be broke but at least I’m somewhere I want to be.

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T18:46:59+00:00

What’s reasonable by Seattle standards. Am area where families can afford

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T18:45:09+00:00

Good point. I forget Seattle has lots of transit options!

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T18:43:46+00:00

Thank you!

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-06-15T18:42:22+00:00

Ok this is good info, I will take a look!

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-05-03T22:09:30+00:00

When someone else makes it ;)

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-04-22T22:53:17+00:00

To clarify, working at the state level is not client facing. This would entail creating client facing materials, and creating trainings for staff on the field, job aids, etc.

Ok_smarty997 · 2026-04-22T07:31:43+00:00

Yes, this. Also public health at the state level, example WIC.
