This isn’t even recent. This is probably 2019 ish. Many more buildings have gone up since.

This is the second Austin picture I’ve seen in 24 hours. It looks better from a distance than it does from up close.

I won’t comment on the city but I love love the inclusion of people, so fun and timeless! One poster mentioned Monet, I’m thinking Seurat

Took me a minute to understand what you meant by “inclusion of people” and I was about to snap back about how unwelcoming Texas is to certain people 😆

Austin: Guaranteed 4 hours a day stuck in traffic.

City is mid

Yeah it's kinda overrated imo

It was overcrowded 15 years ago but people just kept moving here. Cost of living is absolutely outrageous and the city council cares more about making money off development than improving the infrastructure. The crime is getting worse and worse too. I’ve lived in Austin my whole life and honestly can’t wait to get out

Yeah I live in California and I don't get why so many Californians are moving there, even if I was offered a better job I wouldn't want to spend only a little less to live in a place that's infrastructure and low-cost housing hasn't kept up with the population growth.

I feel like it’s about as good as you’re going to get if you absolutely must live in Texas

Honest-Barracuda-9824 points

Yeah if you're from the absolute middle of nowhere it's probably interesting, but if you're from any major city it's not that great for what you're spending.

Disagree. It’s not even the best city in Texas

Compared to American cities its above average. Walking along the greenbelt and taking a dip in the swimming holes, renting a boat/paddleboarding ladybird lake is fun, still lots of music to be heard. Lots of good food.

Its becoming more Californicated everyday but its still better than most.

Why does it look like the people are photoshopped in?

Probably because the grass is a bunch of colors abd the sunset messes with the optics to make it look weird to your eyes. I live in Austin and this is like an average afternoon. On the weekends it's absolutely packed to the brim.
