California Transplants In Austin Now Say It Sucks

[Diego in Seattle]

And they're getting the hell out.

[Screw_Michigan]

Doesn't take long to realize living in Tejas blows, even Austin.

[Carson]

[Sudden Sam]

The quicker Austin can rid itself of Californians, the quicker it can get back to being Austin.

[Kierland]

Meaning?

[FiatLux]

The quicker Austin can rid itself of Californians, the quicker it can get back to being Austin.

Huh?


This is what happens when you've NEVER been west of the Mississippi River. The lack of knowledge and awareness of cultural geography and folkways with hicks is mindblowing.

David Burge had it right. "Keep Austin Weird... and Surrounded."

[Kierland]

Surrounded by what?

[Sudden Sam]

David Burge had it right. "Keep Austin Weird... and Surrounded."

Exactly. 15-20 years ago it was a great place. Friends from Oklahoma moved there and it was a blast. Apparently what had made it attractive to folks also attracted the wrong people.

The quicker Austin can rid itself of Californians, the quicker it can get back to being Austin.

Just to be clear, most of those “Californians” aren’t from California.

How did you find this data? It's not stated in the article.

Again, what does that mean? You talk like a right wing pundit. Everything is vague but presented like we all know what you mean.

That may be. I defer to your knowledge of your state.

But regardless of their point of origin, they bring their “infected” Cali thinking…the mindset that says don’t punish criminals, spend money you don’t have, bow down to every minority group, etc. The holier than thou attitude that has led to a massive budget deficit in California Something has changed Austin from being REAL to being Cali FAKE.

It’s not just the tech industry that’s affected. It’s bled over into the bars and social life.

I don’t have the data at my fingertips. But I’ve lived in California for 68 years, third generation. I grew up in “Silicon Valley” before it was Silicon Valley and headed south when it still was basically Stanford University and Hewlett-Packard. Most of those tech workers, which are the ones moving to Austin, moved to California from somewhere else, following the high paying tech jobs. Most of the rest of us are more than happy to show them the door.

What made it attractive to all those newcomers isn’t what made it attractive to your Oakie buddies. If you try to promote your city as the new tech hub (“Silicon Hills”) and get Elon Musk to move there, what kind of people do you think they’re trying to attract?

Hint: not many are coming from Muskogee.

I gotcha. I’m roaming astray from the article’s tech aspect. Carry on.

Nobody is coddling criminals, Cali had a balanced budget law and being nice to people even if they are brown is not a bad thing. Again what is that “something” you are talking about? Do you even know why you are pissed off?

[Mikey]

Instead of “bowing down” to all them gotdamn minorities, we should just shoot ‘em all instead of letting them vote. Or at least hang ‘em from a tree as they’re wont to do in ‘bammy.

[Mikey]

My stepdaughter, who lives in NJ, bought a home in Austin probably ten years ago, mostly because she goes to ACL every year, and rents it out as short term rental the rest of the year. She was planning on possibly moving there sometime, but not so sure at this point I think. She could make a killing if she sold it now, though.

Super Slow is an expert on China, San Francisco and the Bay Area, and now Austin. Without ever having been to those places. I need to hear more from him before I go to my place in Texas in Oct. Things must have changed recently and I need the heads up so I'm not shocked. From what I'm hearing the place use to be a blast!

You'll have to point out where Sudden Sam uses the word "coddling." I can't find it.

He does say, "the mindset that says don't punish criminals." That's not the same thing which makes your use of "coddling" fallacious. A majority of your posts follow this pattern.





Fucking moron.

So, tell me how we're bowing down to minorities, and how Alabama doesn't down to the racist legacy of the KKK.

We don’t need special laws enacted for specific demographics. Laws should be applied the same to everyone across the board.

As I’ve repeatedly said: treat everyone as you want to be treated That should be everyone s’ mantra Simplistic? Yeah. It’s a simple matter.

It’s literally in the dictionary definition of the word.


: to treat with extreme or excessive care or kindness : PAMPER
accused the court of coddling criminals
colleges that coddle their athletes

Stupid fucking hillbillies.

Are you being intentionally vague, or do you just not have any examples of these "special laws?"
Or both.

Oh fuck off, you lie about people in dresses and call them ill so nobody cares about how you think people should be treated. Fucking POS.

[Kierland]

Are you being intentionally vague

It’s the hallmark of right wing wackoism. Make things sound scary so dumb fucks like Supremely Stupid will think they are, but never ever actually say anything meaningful.

Stupid fucking hillbillies.

Simmer down, Webster.
Here's Oxford's take on the word, indulge with every attention, comfort, and kindness; spoil.

I don't believe law enforcement is engaging in either definition. Law enforcement referenced by SSam is doing ::nothing::

Coddling involves proactive or reactive action. Doing nothing is apathy, not coddling, and apathy in law enforcement is absolutely happening.

[Mikey]

So define “bowing down,” because that apparently is what we are doing to “minorities.” I’d sort of like a clarification on “minorities” as well, but I’m not counting on getting more than one thing at a time.

Based on race, we are all minorities in California (that’s assuming that “Hispanic” is different than “Caucasian” though I may get some argument on the difference between “race” and “ethnic group”). I imagine that some of y’all might find that to be particularly horrifying, though I don’t have any problem with it. After all, us honkies were pretty much the last to arrive.

And I don’t get it whole lot of people bowing down to me. At least I don’t think I do.

[Kierland]

Funny how this is the hill you want to die on hillbilly. Of all the things he said and I commented on, you decide to try and out pedantic me on if not doing one’s job of arresting people is coddling. You do this by pointing out one definition like that negates a different definition when that’s not how words work. That being said, I’ll play your game. Let’s say Webster’s fucking dictionary doesn’t know words. Let’s use your definition. Indulge with kindness.

Indulge (From Oxford this time): to satisfy a particular desire.

Like the Californians (supposed) desire to not punish criminals.

Kindness (again from Oxford): the quality of being kind.

Requires no action. Not punching someone in the face is pretty kind. Similarly not arresting someone is kind.

You suck at deciding if an adult fucking a 15 yo is a crime (because you coddle criminalpedos) and you suck equally at English.

But you got one thing right since you have been here, you fancy yourself a bully. Get used to being punched in the nose. You’re not in .pedo anymore Dorothy.

[HighPlainsGrifter]

Funny how this is the hill you want to die on hillbilly.

Not sure where you get the hillbilly thing. I've never even visited hillbilly country. But with your propensity to create your own definitions for words, it wouldn't surprise me if you redefined that one also. I'm oilfield trash, if you care to know.

Let’s say Webster’s fucking dictionary doesn’t know words. Let’s use your definition. Indulge with kindness.

Indulge (From Oxford this time): to satisfy a particular desire.

Fallacy flag: Cherrypicking.

The definition includes words separated by commas. You don't get to exclude those. That's not how definitions work.

You suck at deciding if an adult fucking a 15 yo is a crime (because you coddle criminalpedos) and you suck equally at English.

Fallacy flag: False equivelancy.

[Kierland]

Dude if you are going to go “catfish” on me go full catfish. Saying you haven’t traveled that much and barking out irrelevant shit you heard in logic class and didn’t understand is wack. Saying you have to use every word in a comma string definition is just stupid. Like you. If you are not a hill billy how are you so stupid? Do you even know what a false equivalency is? I said you were both things, a pedo and illiterate. What do you do to try and prove me wrong? Admit to being illiterate.

Go learn how to build a road you incessantly stupid flyover fuck.
