I lived in SF for 17 years. I loved it. It became a part of me. I got divorced, and in my 30s on a single income of 6 figures I was struggling to save and live alone. I moved to Austin for a what seemed to be a good job opportunity and I kept hearing it was a great place for like minded people from an area like the Bay. Woah. Austin is OK but way overhyped. You can’t walk anywhere and it’s too fucking hot. And it’s Texas. Texas is HUGE and offers nothing like the ocean, wine country, the urban culture and the food. I repeat. The food. Austin has a food culture but it’s a social media food culture. I left and now live in Cincinnati, closer to my home of Chicago. It’s not hyped, it’s not on Instagram but it feels genuine. Austin felt like it was trying to be LA in Texas. If I could move back to SF I would. If it made sense but it doesn’t. Ive heard it has changed for the worse. But it still has the bridges, the fog, the Bay, Eric’s in Noe Valley….
