I'm surrounded by beige buildings and people who say things like, "dude, you are so right fucking on," all the time.
I HATE IT but I don't have the balls to move to Austin. Sad.

damn. sometimes i think i'd prefer Dallas and i'm in Austin. I think the trick to Dallas for me would be to live downtown and avoid Plano, etc...

At leat its not Fort Worthless.

Grass is greener I suppose. But yes, Plano is hell. Unless you dig Chiba heroin. Then you're all set.

i've lived in fort worth, irving and dallas. dallas is the best, particularly uptown/west village/greenville if you can get past all the plastic people - then again, there's plastic people everywhere these days.
the only good thing about texas is the weather during spring. still, i can't wait to leave...

Ahhhhhhhhhh, LMAO you poor bastards!
Do what I did, get out of there.
I grew up in Keller, and in North Richland Hills until I was about 8.Graduated from UTA in 2001, lived in Arlington (aka, DFW's armpit) for most of that time.
Moved to Chicago on a whim with a friend who was coming here anyways by himself, and this is a fantastic city that blows away anything in DFW.
I have no car. I take the subway to work. I live 5 miles from downtown. A lake that you can bike along, go to the beach, and it practically feels like you're at the ocean.
The winters are tough, but I would rather have that than Texas summers.So, my only advice is, move to Austin and the Hill Country, and slow your life down, or move out of state. I am a Texan for life, it's in my blood, I love the state and will hopefully live in Austin and the Hill Country at some point in the future.
But after I had lived in Chicago for a while, it really sunk in. All the driving around, highways, parking lots, traffic, highway construction, man it was nice to have left that behind.I've also been extremely happy to not live around that attitude anymore. You know, the way people are in the DFW area - always trying to look cool to people they don't know, all the people driving their cars fast (whether they're tiny, two cylinder imports that they think are NSX's, or Camaros, Corvettes, FireBirds, etc.) to show off, or the gas guzzling SUV set...I am so glad to not live around that anymore.
My condolances!! Now MOVE!

people drive like shit in austin my friend
- mg330
people drive like that anywhere, and Austin traffic IS horrible considering I-35 is the main way through town.
But it's so easy to get away there, go camping, go biking, go to a river or lake. And it is a much more laid back mindset there than in DFW.
