Well I'd be sad to see you go, Austin is amazing. Can be expensive, though nothing like California I'm sure. If you do end up leaving, you have to check out DK Sushi on Thursday nights before you go, or spend a day at the greenbelt or Zilker Park while it's still summer! or any number of things goddamn i love this place
Oh, for sure! Austin isn't a bad city at all, and I might be extending my stay a bit past that Tuesday (possibly until the following Sunday), so I'll try to check those out when there's time.
The reasons I'd leave are more to the extent of... well, that's where my loved ones are, that's where my family and history and knowledge are. I may grow to love this city or even this whole county, but the conditions that brought me here weren't the best. I'd rather know it better on my own terms, and make a decision based on those instead of the slapdash go-get-'em demands I had to rush to meet to get out here.
