If I had to live in a major Texas city, which one would be best?

[maveric]

Just wondering.

1. You only need one town in your poll. Austin

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

2. Austin would be the ONLY city in Texas I'd consider

but even there the bugs need their own runways they are so big

[GOPisEvil]

3. True blue Austin!

I might be a little biased though. :silly:

4. Fort Worth is very nice.

[maveric]

6. I forgot about Ft.Worth. Real close to Dallas,

[GOPisEvil]

10. Close, but a world apart.

Fort Worth is a COMPLETELY different place. If I had to live up that way, I'd choose Fort Worth in a second! Great arts community in FW!

5. San Angelo

7. Boston

20. Well, naturally

but if I wake up anywhere NEAR Texas tomorrow, while still in my house in my zipcode due to some gigantic tear in the space-time continuum I'm flying to Canada

[Placebo]

8. The Alamo

9. I vote for Austin, but hey - how come

Fort Worth isn't on the list? It's a decent place to live, if you don't mind living in the county that gave Bush the 2nd highest margin in the country in November.

11. See post #6

12. Yeah, but Lon Burnham is from Fort Worth!

:thumbsup:

13. I love Lon!!!!!!!!! Sadly, he doesn't represent me.

14. The Beaumont Country Club!

Yeah, baby! Not!

[maveric]

15. How is San Antonio?

Is it too fundie/freeperish?

[GOPisEvil]

17. Inner city SA is pretty liberal.

The outlying areas are seriously freeperish.

Ever hear of Rev. John Hagee? He's based in SA. SA is relatively inexpensive to live in though. Difficult to make a lot of money there, unless you're in a specialized field.

Charlie Gonzales represents part of SA, and he's a Democrat.

16. I was raised in

Houston.

Then I moved to Austin in 91. It was like going from black and white to technocolor. Austin is amazing. :loveya:

18. My personal experience is 20 years old

...so I'm not sure how relevant it is, but Austin would win hands down.

San Antonio was pretty nice, too.

Houston = Pit of Nasty Despair

19. Austin - Babes, Blues, and Beer
