Austin, TX is a liberal paradise. You can talk the high-tax, compassionate talk, without walking the walk.

Thanks! It's quite complex, there can be taxes even on lower levels (school district) apparently. I guess that underlines your point, Austin or any other city could levy taxes if they really wanted to.
It might require a change to state law, but yeah...I'm sure, if they really wanted to, they could do that, or if Austinites were really serious about their views, they could leave Austin for a more liberal state.

Did they specifically talk about money and taxes? Maybe they are more socially than economically liberal? Off - it's still strange for me that the term "liberal" means more like social democrat in the USA. In Europe we use it for classical liberals.

The people with whom I spoke are both entrepreneurs so not representative of the big chunk of the population. They spoke about money and taxes. They are socially liberal, economically conservative. I agree that the terminology here sucks, probably everywhere though.
