I was planning on eventually moving to Austin to be closer to family, but I won’t do it now. Will stay here in Washington, even though housing is very expensive here.
Is Austin much cheaper than Washington these days? I have not looked in 4 years

#12We have a representative democracy. Laws are passed. People make decisions for/or against a location based upon its laws. What is not to like about people having choices? (The law in question seeks to protect those truly lacking a choice in this context.)
All correct, though the progression from “a couple of cells” to “person” obviously has a lot of interpretation that will be different for different people.
An interesting thing is that the law is, as I see it, allowing civil protection for being offended at another’s actions, since the citizen plaintiffs otherwise have no standing. Should SCOTUS uphold this mode that’s a messed-up principle that can be gamed by every legislature to create chaos in our courts.
I also wonder if companies will simply put big centers in red and blue areas to allow employees to pick the place they’d rather be. In a remote-first era, HQ location matters less than it did.

In my opinion, while many parts of Austin are becoming expensive, I think it’s still not seattle levels of expensive (a lot of bidding /price wars in Austin are for newer houses, while bidding is pretty common in seattle for houses built in early 1900s).

The count of cells, sure, but the DNA is as constant as anything in organic chemistry.
The gaze aversion of the abortionistas from this invariant is stunning and bespeaks a need to reach a pre-conceived (heh) conclusion no matter the cost.
