The reason I went to see Steiner Ranch is because of Feng Shui 
https://www.austinlocal.com/feng-shui-real-estate.html
Steiner Ranch is an auspicious Feng Shui location because Lake Travis looks like a Dragon on the map and Steiner Ranch is where the Dragon “Breath” or “Chi” or, as the Chinese say, “Pearl of the Dragon” accumulates.
Do you have enough life force to ride the dragon?
Austin is red hot. Below is a SFH in Cedar Park that I wanted to take a look during preview on Sat - Pending on the Friday. No show.
Take note, Austin is now known as a startup city 
and many are flocking to Austin to join the next wave of startups 
Patrick McKenna, a tech investor, moved to Austin from San Francisco last year to be close to the next wave of startups.
Charlotte Sanders, a real-estate agent at Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty, said that over the past six months, more than half of the homes she has been involved with were sold to Californians. She said she gets one to two new clients from California a week, including hedge-fund managers, tech employees and celebrities, and now “the Oracle people are starting to pour in.”
Take 
hedge fund managers 
You mean this guy with only 900 followers on Twitter? You know there are many dogs and cats with more followers than this unknown guy from nowhere?
In October and November, net inflow to the Austin metro area was double the same time last year.
“There has been a massive influx of buyers coming to Austin this year, mostly people who work in tech or other industries that allow them to work remotely,” said local Redfin agent Andrew Vallejo. “About 80% of my buyers are from the East Coast or the West Coast, specifically from the Bay Area. The number of people moving in from California picked up even more after the election, and a lot of people have newfound confidence in the Austinhousing market because of the upcoming Tesla factory.”
“I’ve also noticed a lot of people come to Austin, rent a house for a couple months, then fall in love with the walkability and charm of the city and move here permanently,” Vallejo said.
Walkability and charm of the city? Strip clubs are within walking distance? Do your wife allow you to visit strip clubs?
Strip clubs are for old men who aren’t doing it anymore…
Hell.
Snowed in Austin. Gets cold there
The bigger issue for me is not the cold. Afternoon is warm enough for me to do daily walk, just a little windy, need to wear jacket with wind breaking capability. Juniper Cedar pollens are everywhere from Jan-Feb, some of us like me is allergic to the pollen and get Cedar fever with symptoms like nasal congestion, itchy/watery/red eyes, itchy everywhere, really hard to sleep with such symptoms… is why I am awake at this time of the night. I had visited Austin many times to check out before deciding to come here, didn’t come during Jan-Feb… now I advise any1 plan to come to Austin, come during this period and go near a juniper cedar to see whether you are allergic to the cedar pollen.
You are always welcome to move back to the Golden state. We love you here.
Sounds like a good time go to Cancun… a short flight… Best part about living in Texas.
I’ve heard wearing a mask while you walk can help a lot.
I grew up in Abq. Snow, but never enough for a Snowman. Must’ve been a good snow for you! 
The No. 1 pick for people leaving San Francisco is Austin, Texas.
Bye-bye 7x7 prison.
Joe Lonsdale, a co-founder of the software company Palantir, which moved from Silicon Valley to Denver, wrote back: “Come to Austin with us. Growing tech ecosystem and Texas is the best place to make a stand together for a free society.”
No more PC and silly comments about racism, Nazis, fascism, feminism, ageism, landlord bullying, …
Now the local tech industry is rapidly expanding. Apple is opening a $1 billion, 133-acre campus. Alphabet, Amazon and Facebook have all either expanded their footprints in Austin or have plans to. Elon Musk, the Tesla founder and one of the two richest men in the world, said he had moved to Texas. Start-up investor money is arriving, too: The investors at 8VC and Breyer Capital opened Austin offices last year.
@manch to take note. Startup money is going to Austin2.
For the same price as their three-bedroom apartment in Cupertino, they have a five-bedroom home on an acre of land.
Leander, Liberty Hill or Round Rock? 1-acre of land is hard to come by elsewhere.
Didn’t I explain the issue of non-compete to you? If you want a more vibrant startup scene, lobby your state reps to get rid of it. Before it’s gone, don’t even bother.
Austin is an overflow room for the Bay. A good place to hire B-players for the cheap.
I see you still have your blinkers on.
this what the people in tech today think too.
Only people leaving BA are Republican VCs, old and rich ones. (Joe Lonsdale, etc). They made their money.
The next generation of innovation is still Bay Area for the US. (In the opinion of DH and other friends deeply embedded in tech startup scene)
Exactly. These men (and they are all white men let’s be honest) just cashed out, took their chips and rode into the sunset.
People who are busy building the future are still here, because, where else is better for builders?
