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."

Looks like Mister Hamamatsu Director of Business Development also made the mainstream press in the NYC area.

Californians, born to be miserable and to spread misery to others as long as they can grasp their way into mm. deep materialism.

Overlaid with a pastiche of Orthorexy and maybe a little TM or Guru Following to show they're well rounded and very morally superior.

Makes sense....imagine you live in IL and make 50k for job XYZ. Your new co-worker is from CA and gets 150k for doing the same job but he re-located to IL for whatever weird reason. Wouldn't you be pissed if he gets 3x more for doing the same and living in the same crappy area as you?

@G36 How are others supposed to know how much you make if you don't tell them?

Transcendental Masturbation and Subliminal Programmed Intolerance of Tolerance made me a better Californian!

they think niceness is a sign of being weak minded.

In CA nice people get run over. Trust me nice doesn’t work around here. BLM wasn’t nice and they were in charge, nice people were all singing praises to them.

We have no unifying culture here, so it’s every man for himself.
