Google, Facebook, and Amazon? Many of my friends believe that Google's new Austin office might lead to other tech companies to move here, but that's just speculation.

Yawn, It will be a cold day in hell, when Austin has more tech jobs than Dallas or Houston.

Have you been to either? Texas is quite nice, and has great weather.

Cost of living is a small fraction compared to the bay area or west coast cities too.

No, it doesn't. It's hot. And the people are conservative; nothing nice about that.

Yes, I live in Austin. It's quite nice comparatively. :)
