    What part of Los Angeles are you talking about? Any locals from here usually try to avoid the entire vicinity. Being serious. There are a crapload of cities people bulk into Los Angeles, many of which are in the sfv. If your talking about the actual city of Los Angeles... good luck

    If you think you'd like the Portland sensibility then you'd probably like Austin. Our motto is "Keep Austin Weird" and we are the "Live Music Capital of the World". 250+ days of sunshine a year. Probably too hot for a lot of northeners.

    I visited Austin and didn't like it. I was expecting a bustling city, but it all seemed a bit toned down to me. Streets were pretty empty downtown at 7 and 8pm...that kind of thing. Super pretty, though, and the homes were adorbs. But ehhh, if I'm gonna go the mellow route, I'm going somewhere I can live in a swimsuit and cover up dress 24/7.

    Dallas was badass, though. Minus the FREAKIN' ICE STORM!!! *sigh* Figures the snow and ice would follow me.

    LOL I was pissed, girl. I think I visited in...March or April of that year. Something like that. And it was cold and annoying here so I was soooooo happy to be getting away from that mess.

    Got to Austin, weather was GREAT. The friend I was visiting and I decided to take a drive up North as soon as I got there so he could show me Dallas and Houston and wtf happens? Get to Dallas right in time for a freaking blizzard. I didn't even know it snows in Texas!!!1111 UGH UGH UGH.

    awwww honey that's awful. I'm not laughing, I promise. Much. :D

    but it basically snows everywhere. Well, okay, I guess it didn't technically snow in Florida, but holy crap hail the size of golf balls and bigger even! I felt like I was in a Biblical plague or something. :eek: You really do kinda need to go to St Thomas if you don't ever want to be cold at all.

    I won't blame you for laughing. :p

    Ew, hail. St. Thomas or Puerto Rico if I'm really going to give up cold weather for good, I know.

    Well, it gets cold in PR too - mostly at night up in the mountains, but that's not too bad. Nothing like this 0 below shit.

    Though their bugs fucking suck.

    To be frank, Austin is the perfect city for me. Weather is never too cold, it's a fun area, and they have Google Fiber. Only negative is that it's not SoCal.

    Everywhere has something about it that fucking sucks. You basically have to pick which crappy thing(s) you can actually deal with and which will make you go insane.

    I don't like *super* cold, but I grew up with snow - I think I'd rather have that than crazy amounts of bugs, because ewwwwwwwwwwww.

    Ewwwwwwww. (There were way the fluff too many bugs in Florida that were as long as my damn foot, js.)

    and on that note, to bed with me, but one day soon you and I - and everyone else who's trying to work out where to move to - will figure out where the crap we want to go, I'm sure of it. :)

    Sixth Street is always jumping. Great food. Music festivals all the time, SXSW, ACL, etc. The only drawback is what Artemisia mentioned. Rent's high for sure.

    What do you think is the comparison for rent/mortgage out there with a place like Los Angeles/Burbank/Sherman Oaks/etc? If you had to ballpark numbers what would a small house/apartment rent for in the Austin area? Just curious, not necessarily wanting to move there but I like to know my options just in case I need to jump ship and get away from people out here in a quick manner...

    Not familiar with Cali at all, but I've seen rental prices in the $800-1300 range for a 1 bedroom apt in Austin.

    Not too bad, on the low end for what I see out here in SoCal. That is about the same price of a 1 bedroom apartment in the middle of the desert, 70 miles away from Downtown LA. Further you go towards LA, the higher the rent climbs...

    You can find some 1 bedroom/studios in LA for around $1k/month. Won't be in the best locations, but possible.
