I like Nashville way better. Better music scene for a casual visitor, and better people. Austin has a heavy wannabe California thing going on that I can’t put my finger on. It’s got “scene” vibey thing if you know what I mean. Combine that with what was once a legit southern city and you have something I’m not interested in. Nashville just way more laid back. It still feels southern, which is what I want when I visit the south.
There is f-loads of money in Austin, and if you like expensive golf course clientele mashed with a zillion twenty somethings trying to figure things out, you may like it. The twenty somethings will give you punk rock service throughout your stay.
If you go to dinner, rest assured you will see some orange southern belle trophy wife complaining loudly about everything in sight.
Any charm it had is long gone. A couple we know is paying 7K a month for a nice two bedroom. (lol) In Texas
