Well, besides the dead birds, Austin is a great city to live in. Take all the stereotypes you have about Texans and pretty much throw it out the window (at least in Austin). Very youthful city - I think the median age is around 35. Now granted it isn't nyc. I lived in manhattan for a while and I still do miss it. But Austin is an very fun place. As far as cost of living, fairly reasonable for a city (though guaranteed to be less expensive than anything you can get in manhattan) One problem i have is that I do my grocery shoppint at Whole Foods (their headquarters is here in austin). I swear I drop a paycheck everytime I shop there!!
