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

i mean political balance. in sf anti-business, anti-housing, and very left-leaning approaches to things like crime are exacerbated by the state rather than moderated (ex. AB5, prop 13 or more recently shooting down wiener’s rezoning, reclassifying car break-ins etc.)

well, to that point, i think a lot of folks were surprised on the number of propositions shot down in this election, so things might be turning for people looking for this type of balance!

i think a victory in 22 is somewhat discounted by the cost, and the property tax stuff is just super nebulous, and maybe even slightly apolitical in the traditional sense given the state's peculiar history. shooting down rent control and prop 16 did surprise me though.
