I need something new. I’ve lived here my whole life and I’m ready to try something else.

What I don’t like

• The prices. it’s getting more and more expensive to live here
• The traffic. i live in the suburbs so driving in Austin is a nightmare.
• the dating scene. I swear people are either poly or some greasy person looking for quick sex
• No black people here. Austin’s Black population is shrinking year by year.
• Greg Abbott

What I like

• the food is really diverse
• I love the vintage shopping here
• Austin is very green, I love that
• So much to do. I love burlesque and there is a troupe here.
• The small independently owned costume shops, but those are closing down unfortunately.
• Asahi. it’s a nice little kobini
• farmers markets

I would like to find a better place to call home. I looked into places like Chicago and Philly but both were a bit out of my price range. I’m a bit spoiled in that I live in a relatively big apartment with a large kitchen. I love to cook so I would like a sizable kitchen.

Is there a place Im missing?

I would also like to have better public transit. this traffic is awful and frankly I don’t love driving. but if it’s a place where things are close by then I wouldn’t mind driving.

i was suggested Tulsa before. While prices are cheap, I don’t think there’s anything there that would align with me as a person.
