it's an island in Texas for sure, this move is hilarious
austin is of course left, though looking at these local voting graphs i can't imagine further left than sf, and anyway it's in a right-wing state. no one's moving to austin looking for republicans, they're looking for balance.

what's balance mean though? I would argue that driving an hour or two outside of SF would achieve a similar result as driving outside of Austin in p much any direction just thinking this guy is in for something of a surprise

grew up in ATX & did undergrad at UT Austin. Austin is waaaaay more liberal than SF, even then

I mean in fairness SF shows no sign of slowing down on taxing rich individuals to pay for smaller welfare programs. I am 100% for this - but I also doubt Austin will move to do things like that anytime soon.
