San Francisco, Seattle and Portland are great cities. Austin is a great city. Don't believe what the conservative media wants you to believe about SF or what the liberal media wants to make you believe about Austin. Those cities are used as an "example" of what the democrats/republicans "will do with the country" if they win national elections. It's been going on for like 30 years and if like 1% of what they said was true San Francisco would now be a pile of shit and homeless people and to live in Austin you would need to have your own army to defend against the evil corporations that are coming for your land.

The main problem with all those cities is public transportation sucks.

I generally agree with your points!

Except the reason people in my social circle would never move to Austin isn’t about guns, it’s about women’s access to quality reproductive care, including abortion.

And I don’t think the democrats are exaggerating the extent to which that is not an option in Texas.

Yeah of course every once in a while you'll get something that's both real and both sucks about Austin and about San Francisco. That's how you get fuel to be able to exaggerate about everything else for a couple more years.
