Austin isn't too bad, I wound up moving back here after 3 1/2 years in DFW. Traffic is miserable, the politics even worse. It's 200 miles to the coast. The cedar can get really bad, keep that in mind if you or anyone in your family has allergies. They say after living here for about 7 years, you develop allergies, but after having lived here for 12 years once before, I never did.
Depending on your pace of life, you have two choices, north of the Colorado river or south. IHMO, the the south part of town is more laid back, old school, and friendlier. The dirt to the west is expensive, to the east reasonable. East Austin is little Mexico south of the river and ghetto north.
There's a little bit of something for everyone. Of course, my interpretation of Austin is going to differ from someone who has spent their whole life here, or someone who has just visited. I'm a 2nd time transplant from DFW who thinks it's a livable place.
