1/ Moving from SF to Austin in 3 days.
Wife and I have been planning the move since 2019, before Covid and before it became the cool thing to do. But Covid hit and it delayed our plans.
You’ll never guess why (hint: has nothing to do w/ state income taxes).

2/ Family. Wife’s family lives in the Austin area. We’re starting baby planning and want to be closer to her family. Apparently having kids is the thing to do, especially as a 30-something year old at this stage of life.

3/ SF real estate market. Continues to be absurd. Our 2 bd 1 ba, 750 sqft, no backyard, condo that we’re renting in the Presidio Heights for >$4k/mo would be $1.2M (vs similar comps). Prices will continue to

4/ Austin real estate market. We’re seeing 4+ bd, 3+ ba, 3000+ sqft, 1/2 acre lot, swimming pool, the works, 15 min from downtown Austin, for <$1M. Didn’t used to care about home ownership but now I do. Also our dog Sneakers
wants a big backyard (his words, not mine). Woof!4 replies 0 retweets 30 likesShow this thread -
5/ Quality of life — crime. If you’re following the recall
@chesaboudin campaign, you’ll know what I’m referring to. Wife and I no longer feel safe living in SF. Been here since 2006 and seen it slowly deteriorate. Chesa Boudin and others made it worse. Not raising a family here.6 replies 0 retweets 23 likesShow this thread
