The summary is pretty good. I used to live there.
The problem is Austin is becoming very hostile cost of living wise to regular people (read: non 200k+ tech workers). That in turn has an effect on lifeguards and EMS.
Finally the city is good, but the city is extremely overhyped. It's very similar to Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas but for some reason gets 5x the praise. Let's be honest why: it has the most progressives and also satisfies tech workers desires to appear diverse but mostly be around other white yuppies.
