I didn't watch the video but I grew up in Austin South Austin is the best place to live. You can still feel the culture you only 15 min from downtown you got San Marcos and New Braunfels not too far. Only thing worth while in north Austin is the domain.

@MovingATX I have my grandparents that live in South Austin I currently live in New Braunfels. My opinion new braunfels will be the next Austin but somewhat better cause you can actually raise a family and it's a trending city like Austin because of the hill country vibe and it's naturally gentrified. And local spots that make it unique like Austin was in 06, 07

@@ShoeCrewTV New Braunfels is great and is really growing! I grew up in San Antonio and have watched all of those changes. Glad you found your spot.

Well, I’ve lived at the Austin area for 53 years now. I’m always up and down i35 every day , and I’ve always looked at South Austin to be from the Holiday Inn right before you cross the lake. On down to Onion creek. I Look at downtown Austin to start when you cross the lake from South Austin and you go all the way through where all the bridges cross each other and then all of a sudden you pop out. That’s where I figure that downtown Austin ends, and North Austin begins.

I moved to Austin back in 2010 and have seen this city change to dirty 6th while living uptown working in the Domain now at Baton Creek spa and Resort

Putting Yeti down as a something that is not indigenous to Austin is wrong. Yeti is a Texas company and its first flagship store was opened in Austin in 2017. Their products may be sold nationally but they are a Texas brand and an Austin brand. I would put them in the same category as Whole Foods because Whole Foods is also an Austin brand that went national.

Thank you for the feedback. The message was more so unique shops that are hard to find in other locations, which is no longer the case for Yeti or Whole Foods. Proud to be the birthplace of both, but Austin has many national brands situated on Congress Ave these days, which is a change from the "local-to-Austin" flair that was once there.

South has a lot to do, but traffic is bad! while north has just the domain, but the north side is on the rise. A “2nd downtown” is in the works. But south / north has nothing on East Austin!

Yes, they do!

North Austin is trashy and vapid. Overall, it’s best to live closer to your job.

Don't encourage people to move here, as a native I see the housing shortage causing property owners to have a captive audience, and raise rent rates beyond affordable. All because of videos like this and media hyping up moving here the folks moving here ruin what brought them to the city. This includes trying to rezone historic districts to allow STRs rented out as airbnbs against the character of the neighborhood

Thanks for watching! Since it’s my career, I take a lot of pride in informing people who are interested in Austin about the good and the bad. Saying my videos hype up a move to the area or contribute to any negatives related to Austin is quite a stretch. My hometown of San Antonio has also changed over the years, as do most cities. I’m sorry that’s your experience with Austin. Austin is not in a housing shortage. In fact, we have a 13-year supply high. It’s a great time for buyers. On the topic of rental rates, let’s take inflation as a simple example. Property owners are paying significantly more for insurance, ongoing property maintenance, property taxes (historical increases), and a variety of other factors, all contributing to rental rates. In good news for renters, there is an oversupply of multi-family housing. Recent rezoning in parts of Austin was to increase density in order to allow for more homes to be built on a single lot with the goal of creating more affordability near the city core. Will it work? We will see…

Thanks for tuning in! Austin’s long-time slogan has been the “Live Music Capital of the World,” which now seems to be in the form of festivals and some of the smaller venues / long-time staples.

Austin is not safe, North or South doesn’t matter anymore. I would never raise a family in Austin. All my relatives and friends living in Austin are leaving.

Hi Charlene - thank you for watching. I'm curious, where are your friends and family moving? Every city has parts of town that may not be the safest, but Austin and the surrounding metro have many nice, safe areas as the norm. I'm sorry you had a different experience. North & South Austin still differ quite a bit and continue to be a big topic of conversation on my end, especially amongst potential homebuyers and people relocating to the area.
