GTFO Californians and take your blue votes with you. Red voters most welcome.
those new houses are fugly
You might not be in the demographic they’re trying to appeal to 😀
@@SFSCharles haha ya, ill stay with my 40k house
Should have never been changed....
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate your perspective.
"Looks good on paper". Shyeah, right. It looks good while you're smoking weed, and that's it: "Duuude! I just had a great idea ..." "What, man?" "What if .... hcf hcf ... um, what if, like all the busses was electric, man?" "Woah, you mean like electric electric?" "Yeah. Duh! What other kind of electric is there?" "Let's do it! We could like install video games on them. Those run on electricity, right?" "Ooo, I hadn't thought of that!" (The real problem with Austin isn't so much the liberalism as it's a huge, rich city with a small-town government. It's essentially an extremely large HOA, with the typical tyrannically autocratic powers that come with that bastardization of government.)
You've captured the essence of that conversation perfectly! That comparison to an HOA is on point too.
The channel is expanding with more info about the city, nice
Thanks for noticing and I hope I can bring topics that you find useful.
Education does not equate to common sense norm
There are several examples in Austin that confirm that
It's just nuts to move away from CNG in one of the few great applications it has, so that highly impractical batteries and electric motors can take their place. The advantages of moving from diesel or gasoline to CNG are already great for eco-minded people, and even better for engine longevity. If it's your money as a private person or business, you should do what you want. However, this is everyone's money - you shouldn't be so wasteful.
It’s baffling that so many examples of things like this but when it comes time to vote, so few people turn out
He wasnt hiding in Round Rock. Round rock was the last heist before they would of broken off and split ways. That morning sam and barnes with jackson went to scope out the bank which is now a tattoo parlor. Grimes put a law in the town stating no guns. Grimes went to confront the men and tell them to hand over the guns. Barnes who was already on edge jerk his gun and shot Grimes. This alerted the rangers who were in the saloon down the street where a gun fight broke out. Jackson was the only survivor and fled town.
Thanks for clearing that up
What to say
Thanks for watching
I love Governor Greg Abbott
He has a way of getting things done.
The road wear caused by these idiotic buses would be even worse if there were actual passengers on board.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's always eye-opening to consider the impact of public transport on our infrastructure.
Especially, considering the porky chicks that seem to predominate the population of downtown Austin.
Most of the Austin busses were CNG (compressed natural gas) before electric busses. These were reasonably reliable and quite clean in operation. A former Austin Radio Host named Jeff Ward said it best- "Never give money to Capitol Metro." Their train "The Hill Country Failure" (flyer) is another great example of waste. At any time there are less than 10 people on that train.
Thank you for sharing the info. It's important to have open discussions about public transportation and its impact on our community. Your insights are appreciated!
Greg Abbott
Greg Abbott? Is that the name of your new pet or are we talking politics here? 😉
Kyle or Buda if you were looking to buy and rent out property in this area?
I'm not sure there is a clear winner. They are so close, renters may not perceive a difference. Like any real estate purchase, the right answer will be specific to an individual's overall goals.
texas has a small minimum wage.
Thanks for bringing that up! It's an important issue that affects so many people in the state.
Real incomes are much lower for the majority of people then in the 1990s. In addition house prices have risen 2 or even 3 folds since the early 2000s. Only the upper 40% of households can afford to save up or are likely to have large amounts of assets or cash. In addition rates are much higher then in the past 15 years. Land cost are much higher many places on the west coast have reached growth bundaries that will not allow for more land to used for housing construction.
Thank you for sharing such a detailed perspective! It's important to have these discussions and raise awareness about the challenges so many are facing in today's economy.
Slashing it to 300,000 is insane. Put it in at 375,000.
A conservative approach to price reductions seem to be the norm.
You still have to consider that Austin Metro area has a population of 2.4 Million now. In 2010 it was just 1.7 Million. In 2000 it was 1.25 Million. The population almost doubled over the last 25 years.
That's one of the many reasons they call it "Boom Town."
Welp, this video didn’t age well. Austin’s housing market is tanking
I appreciate your comment! It’s always interesting to see how different people interpret the market. Thanks for being part of the discussion!
I dreamed of living in Austin, until I did. The dems completely F’d up a once beautiful and safe city. Its trash.
I appreciate your perspective! Cities can change a lot over time, and it's interesting to hear different experiences from residents.
Hot is an understatement. If you love being wet in all the wrong places Austin is #1
Born here in 1966. Mom sold our childhood home right at the top of the boom. It sure was a blessing for her too. She had a little bit bigger lot on lazy ln. My house is in Avery ranch and has at least tripled in value. When I retire I’m moving somewhere cold. I’m not sure I really care for Austin as much as I used to. It’s a little too much of everything nowadays. I’d like to find me a little town and check that out.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us! It's amazing to see how far you've come, and your story is truly inspiring. Wishing you all the best in finding that perfect little town!
Amen 🙏
Appreciate your interaction with the video
Extremely overpriced houses with jobs that don’t pay. You need to make six figures to live here anymore. Slowly being pushed out.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's important to highlight these issues, and your perspective really adds to the conversation.
YAY! GTFO CaliRats!!!
Irreversible. Two things houses sitting on market has nothing to do with people preference change. It’s has everything to do with interest rates and inflation. Those factors are not forever. Also, you stated positives about urban living the allure of urban living has not changed neither its demand. What also has not changed is shorter commutes and convenience of being close proximity to things are higher now than ever. As the pandemic had a lot of people move far and out and now that rush to sell a bad investment during the boom to get closer to everything. It’s not going anywhere and we can hope the economy catches up to growth of Austin. Also, you may ask your self what’s next after gentrification. They will come to a small town near you little by little before a surge. This is the good and bad of it all. I know home owners who owe zero on mortgage, bought there house at 100k many moons ago to sell today for 600-700k. This is what allows gentrification to happen
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s always great to hear from viewers who understand the complexities of the housing market. Your perspective adds so much to the conversation!
That doesn't even take into account the property tax situation. Not having a personal state income tax sounds great until you are retired, living at the level of income you were accustomed to, but your property value goes up and you can no longer afford the taxes.
Thank you for sharing your insights! It's crucial to look at the full picture when it comes to taxes and retirement. Your comment adds a lot to the discussion!
The city needs to be purged
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
CALI AND NY RESIDENTS, WE WELCOME YOU. JUST REMEMBER YOU ARE NOT MISSIONARIES, YOU ARE LEAVING A TOTALITARIAN REGIME IN SEARCH OF A PLACE WHERE PERSONAL FREEDOMS ARE PROTECTED AND LAW AND ORDER ARE RESPECTED AND STRONGLY SUPPORTED. PLEASE VOTE RED.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's important for everyone to consider the values and freedoms that matter most to them when making choices about where to live and how to vote.
Wouldn’t it be # of homes available for sale / number of homes sold per month to get the months of inventory?
You are correct.
What?! This is the epitome of ridiculous. Why would you leave California to move into a city that is in another state but is just as bad as California? The problem was not the air of the Pacific Ocean, right? It was the policies that ruined California. Well, Austin has that same type of people that ruined your state. It would be the equivalent of a New Yorker leaving Brooklyn claiming that people are too loud there and then moving to Miami.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Every opinion helps broaden the conversation, and it’s important to consider different viewpoints about moving and lifestyle choices.
Don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split you
That's a classic saying! It's always good to stay mindful of how we exit situations gracefully.
Native Texans can't afford to live in Austin. Also, the property taxes are awful. I guess if someone is here on a short term basis the yearly taxes and inevitable increases are tolerable. But, in addition to that headache the influx has caused house prices, and living costs to sky rocket.
You bring up some important points. The rising cost of living in Austin is a real concern for many locals, and it's definitely impacting the community.
I use to think the raised interest rates would tank the market where I am. Well, it hasn’t changed. House across from us just sold in days for 1.5m to a millennial no less. I hope they ain’t vegan
The follow up question would be if home prices remained high in spite of higher rates, what happens when those rates begin to come down?
Good.. Texas really doesn’t want liberal Californians.
Texas: where the BBQ is spicy, and the opinions are spicier!
Uhhh Austin is growing so people aren't "fleeing". Nice click bait though.
Thanks for your positive thoughts. Maybe the census data isn’t correct after all
Best news we have gotten 🎉please go and don’t visit ❤
I really appreciate your comment! It’s great to see such engagement from viewers like you.
San Antonio and Austin are as woke as one can get. They both would fit nicely in California.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's always great to hear different perspectives on the culture in these cities.
Id say this ... If you're coming from Ca. , dont come here thinking you can bring your mess with you... You left Ca. for one reason or another to benefit from what we have in Tx... I cannot tell you how many times I've met a former Californian who was truely satisfied once they got here... You can tell who just got here because they're trying to sell the truck , trailer , and other items they bought to move here for 3x what its worth.. I know , because I buy & sell trucks, cars , trailers , rv's , ect... So if you're comin here , RENT !
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's true that everyone has their own journey when relocating, and your insights on renting can be really helpful for newcomers!
@@SFSCharles True dat.
Texas has a real crime problem
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's crucial to raise awareness about these issues and discuss how we can tackle them together.
Good…let “everyone” flee so I can get my city back.
It sounds like you're ready to reclaim your territory! Let's hope you get your city back soon.
I remember that movie with Jack Black (Bernie) they had people acting as citizens just talking and they were hilarious. One guy said "The people republic of Austin" when describing the different parts of Texas. I.could not figure out.exactly what he meant but i soon began to find out. I hope Austin will return to what it once was.
I found a news article from 2017, where Gov Abbott used that term in a speech. “I got to tell you, it’s great getting out of the People’s Republic of Austin,” the governor said during his time at the Bell County Republican Dinner’s podium. “As you’re driving, you guys know this, as you leave Austin and start heading up North you start feeling different and once you cross the Travis County line, it starts smelling different and you know what that fragrance is? Freedom. It’s the smell of freedom that does not exist in Austin, Texas.”
Austin died the day The Armadillo closed.
It's definitely a significant moment in Austin's history. The Armadillo was such a beloved venue, and its closure marked the end of an era for many.
m.ua-cam.com/video/NQwwNKC4coI/v-deo.html
This happened in every major city in the country
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s amazing to see how connected we all are, no matter where we live.
There’s 0.25-0.50% rate cut coming next month, and downward movement in interest rates till December. I believe prices will hold steady in Austin-Round Rock area, specifically Round Rock area.
Thank you for sharing your insights! It's always great to hear from viewers who are tuned into the market. Let's see how things unfold!
Pretty obvious that prices will remain steady. Lower rates are likely and will have a larger effect next spring.
Be my guest... You can go back west!
Haha, sounds like a plan! How many can we get in the van?
Great video my man
Thanks for watching. I’m happy you liked it
Austin is to expensive.. I’ll continue to live in Dallas..
Dallas is a great place to live
This is why my dear old dad taught me 40 years ago that given enough time, you can't lose with residential RE: the population of the country is always growing and people have to live somewhere. The only issue I have is at the same time these "hot" places grow, places with tons of housing stock get no one. Vast areas of the Midwest with enough housing stock and existing infrastructure for a dozen Austins and nobody goes there to revitalize it, but they go to flipping Idaho and Wyoming and ruin it.
That is an excellent point. The follow up question would be where will the next hot spot be? Once you know that, go buy all the real estate you can before everyone moves there
