Please don't come to Austin. I moved from SF to Austin a little over two years ago, and I want to make it clear that it's terrible. The food is bad, the people are lame, and all the musicians are out of tune. I hear Chicago is where it's at, so please go there. Or New York. Or anywhere else, really. Just don't come to Austin.
Perhaps Austin needs a lot of zoning laws and bureaucracy to prevent more people from moving there. Worked really well for SF.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
> You can have good mass transit or affordable housing, but not both. Why's that?
Good mass transit increases demand for housing in its coverage area, increasing prices.
Nobody moves there anymore, it’s too crowded.
Nobody buys houses there anymore, because the bidding wars have gotten out of hand.
Nobody drives to work there anymore, the commute traffic is just too bad.
Nobody wants to work there anymore, there are just too many jobs producing competition for scarce housing and transit.

Stated intent is different than actual intent. I think it's interesting to note that employment is going up, while people state that they will leave in a few years. What does a few years mean - 2 years? 5 years? Wouldn't ones actual move correlate more with economic outlook than stated intent to move?
