> My problem with Austin is that its surrounded by TX. ;)

My problem with Austin is that it has grown faster than the infrastructure and as a result traffic has gotten inordinately bad for a small town


Yeah, traffic is bad but its no longer a small town....over million. Its growing roughly nearly 50% faster than Seattle which I already consider too fast. Its hard to stay ahead of infrastructure needs when growth is that fast.
