People are leaving the deadwood behind in SB.
My reason is weather. Hot and humid compare to SB.
So people make fun of Bay Area losing a couple hours of power during wildfire, but literally 100K people in Austin losing power for days is fine? And apparently it happens every year too?
This week’s winter storm covered Central Texas in ice that left a total of more than 300,000 customers without power since early Wednesday morning. Between that time and 7 a.m. Friday, power had been restored to 182,159 customers – or almost exactly 60% (59.89%).
As of 11:40 a.m. Friday, Austin Energy has 1,687 outages affecting 119,542 customers across the city. Crews continue to work to get the lights back on for everyone, but an estimated time for full restoration isn’t clear.
Remember to avoid any places run by Democrats such as city of Austin and Travis County. You get the usual: blackouts, high taxes, traffic jams, etc.
Crews from various City of Austin departments have been working around the clock to restore power to tens of thousands of residents and clear debris from area roads.
Brown said that whether Travis County and the City of Austin issue disaster declarations will depend on whether doing so will have a direct benefit to the community.
“MoneyGeek’s annual report analyzed the most recent crime statistics from the FBI in 263 cities with populations of more than 100,000 across the United States.”
Easier to just live in a city with less than 100,000 and drive to a bigger one when you want to take advantage of some cultural attraction.
Latest greatest law enforcement action in my hood (I heartily approve).

Both San Diego and San Jose are safer than Austin. NYC is much safer than portrayed on right wing media.
SF would be very safe because criminals would observe city boundary and stay within Oakland. Definitely, won’t go to SF :). Ditto for NY. Criminals would stay within a few streets in Manhattan.
Wait, no TX cities in the list?
Hmm…
Criminals from Oakland committing crimes in SF would count into SF’s crime stats. Any so-called spillover effect is already accounted for.
Why aren’t you worried about your neighboring state Louisiana? It seems to be a crime-ridden state with 3 cities on the Top 10 list.
.
Are you hinting that the list is incorrect because crimes in Oakland have spilled over to San Jose, San Diego and Santa Ana? The distance is about the same for those three cities in LA to Austin. In particular, Oakland to SJ is pretty short, SJ can’t be safe if Oakland is not safe. Thank you for the care.
Whatever spillover effect is already accounted for in the data.
So after all these alleged spillovers San Jose is still safer than Austin. Maybe you want to move back to SJ?
.
Doubt so. Definitely not from your hint 
understand.
I didn’t live in the city of Austin. Sincerely advise you also don’t go there.
Guess you can add in high crime rate
Nearly 1 in 5 Texans don’t have health insurance. Dead last in the Union.
Are they counting illegals in this? Texas doesn’t give them free healthcare the way CA does.
Is Florida giving health insurance to illegal immigrants? You don’t even need to compare with blue states to see how awful Texas is. Texas’s uninsured number is 6 points higher than even Florida.
The key driver is clearly no expansion of Medicaid. Non expansion states do much worse collectively compared to expansion states. Medicaid expansion mostly cover the people who fall through in the middle. People who are not destitute enough to qualify but still too poor to afford health insurance.
I’ll take not paying 10% state income tax over giving illegals healthcare. Weren’t you bragging about California’s budget surplus a few months ago? That didn’t last long which was predictable. The only way they’re going to maintain funding for healthcare is increasing taxes.
Imagine simping a state where 1 in 5 can’t afford basic healthcare.
