Absolutely wonderful as long as you don't reside in the shitty metro areas and their overbuilt suburbs. If I chose to do so, I reckon I could have my pick of about 90% of this country. In my past career in finance I had a number of relocation opportunities come my way. Austin, DFW, Miami, Chicago, Denver, Portland, San Francisco and San Diego to name a few. I travelled all over the country for work. Spent weeks and sometimes months away on remote work assignments. Seriously considered a few, but ultimately turned them all down. Was always happiest when the landing gear hit the ground back here. Small town and rural Indiana is where my roots are, and my heart is.
Got it. But why not just move to rural Alabama and have nicer weather, be close to the gulf and have the same politics?
Nicer weather? In Alabama? Sorry, I don't like 95% humidity all year.
In Austin right now. 25-30 years ago, sure. Right now, no way. Same with Denver, Colorado in general. Crazy how much growth has changed things so drastically.
I spent some time in Austin on business 30 years ago - it was a lot like Bloomington, only bigger. Quirky town in Texas with some great entertainment.
A lot different now.
Every time I see a post from you I'm reminded of this episode of It's Always Sunny...
You can have it. My son goes to Clemson. I live mid way between. Clemson is a MUCH nicer town and campus
Not as fun or as good of music though. I agree though, Clemson is a prettier campus.
