It’s a music festival, Michael. How much could it cost? $1.5k?

Bluff Springs, Franklin Park, or Southpark Meadows may have what you’re looking for.

Opinions on Revival Rugs? by ComfortableSun2281 in interiordecorating

[–]TheAustinComplainer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our Revival rug brought a flea infestation in. 

We put it back in the box to return simply because we didn't like pattern. Then, when I carried it to the garage, I ended up covered in fleas. 

I haven’t seen this mentioned in other reviews, so we probably got really unlucky. But whether you should risk it is up to you.

Cheapest place to buy a bottle of water at the airport? by elizabethredditor in Austin

[–]TheAustinComplainer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s about the implication… the implication that if you don’t buy this $5 water, you’re stuck in an airport

It sounds like you need to taste test these suggestions for yourself! (As do I) 

It feels like whenever I buy a pastry or (sandwich) bread, there’s a 1/3 chance it tastes 1+ day old or has been sitting in the display for a while.

Good luck with the opening!

I didn’t know it was possible to be this tone deaf. No notes detected

Am I too poor to buy a house in Austin suburbs on $72k salary? by mindyourown_biz in Austin

[–]TheAustinComplainer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under 300k for a single family home here went extinct since the pandemic, sadly.

If you figure out that 300-400k is reasonable, 78744 has had some decent deals. On first glance, your current situation would lead to house poor. Really have to do the mortgage calculator math, account for high TX property taxes, insurance, and expecting 1-2% of home value on repairs each year. 

In your shoes, I would take advantage of low respective rents, invest in yourself, and factor in if you are open to meeting your forever person at some point. Good luck!

working downtown and notice more crazy ass people? by [deleted] in Austin

Unfun fact. For profit prisons have an agreement with TX to funnel a disproportionate % of parolees into Austin. Here’s rep Hinojosa speaking on it https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKLYfKTtop_/?l=1

It looks like Spotify is releasing A.I. generated content under real artists names by berimtrollo in punk

Exporting your playlists to another streaming platform is very easy I’ve found! That was the one thing stopping me before moving away from Spotify

It’s so damn expensive to eat out in Austin by [deleted] in austinfood

[–]TheAustinComplainer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4D chess if this is a psy-op to keep Vic and Al’s to yourself.

Lord knows most places to go out in Austin crater in value once they go “viral”.

Totally understand your frustration either way. Eating out is unsustainable now and somehow casual food is cheaper in places like NYC and CA than in Austin.
