Hey my parents are from El Paso. Does that help?I understand that all the Californians are headed that way but there two in my neighborhood that want to move back to Texas. They've had enough too.Austin California was a nice place to grow up. Back then people were laid back, easy going and and nice. Then the Californians outsiders came with their high energy and idea's and attitudes. Austin California isn't like it used to be. I thought that the lifestyle was gone forever until 4 years ago I went to the Lone Star Roundup and I found my childhood. Austin used to be great, until everyone moved here. is like the old California and I felt at home. Trust me, if I didn't have a family waiting for me at home I would have found a job there.Bottom line, Austin California is getting to be nothing but poser's and a better than thou attitude.
Don't mind Jim/Jeff, He's just a "Damn Yankee" that shouldn't have moved here to begin with!

At least I was mentioned in there some where. I moved to Austin in '78. Was there for the "old days". I moved to San Antonio in '87, and have been here ever since. Every metropolitan area is the same. Growth problems, etc. If you want a "laid back" lifestyle in Texas, you need to move to a town that's less than 10,000 people, or stay indoors. It's not the "Big 3" anymore in Texas. DFW metroplex, Houston metroplex, Austin metroplex, San Antonio metroplex, McAllan metroplex, and El Paso. If you haven't been in any of these cities in the last 10 years, you wouldn't recognize them today.
