One of my clients convinced me to come.
Too long.
Do I like it better than NY? Lets put it this way, I'd move back to LI / Huntington / the North Shore in a heartbeat. I miss the people and the water, big time.
When I move away from Dallas, it will be for good.
I was moving to Austin 2 years ago but things changed. I've spent a lot of time since the 90's in Austin so I was already very familiar and comfortable with it.
I was born and grew up in Stuttgart, lived a bunch of places abroad and in the states.
Don't get me wrong, life here has not been terrible or miserable and it served its purpose but its the only place I've lived that i never really felt any attraction to or formed any emotional bond with.
I personally, (and understand others may not), find it to be generically vanilla with no real distinct identity or culture uniquely its own other than some cult like obsession with the Cowboys.
Here's one thing that makes me crazy. You go outside, doesn't matter what season, it doesn't smell like anything. Like nothing, fresh cut grass, flowers, spring rain, hell, I live kinda in cow country and you don't even smell cow ****. Nothing, sterile. It's like even the air is dead and has no soul.
My experience here is, it's a place that you just exist in.
And mind you I don't feel like that in other areas of Texas.
But, some people love it. My neighbor behind me is from Westbury, used to manage a Wiz
He loves it here and would not move back to NY.
So, the son should come and make his own assessment, he might find it the most awesome place he's ever been.
