A lot of people, including myself, move from California to Austin because of the hype and the perception that California and Austin are reasonably comparable in lifestyle. My family and I found that to be far from the case. Here's what we learned, or 10 reasons that Austin is not the "California of Texas."
Been to that part of Texas a few times for work. Made friends there. And no, ignore the stereotypes: they're not all straight whites. Also have cousins there.
If you read his whole story, what comes through is the smug Coastal California arrogance that we're the measure of all things. It is arrogant to parachute into a new region , set your expectations based on where you came from, throw money around to "buy" your expectation. That's arrogant. Then to bitch about it is obnoxious.
It says he's in SJ now. Yep. Bay Area attracts people with these sorts of values from everywhere.
