No fricking way they actually visited Jackson, Mississippi. There's parts of Jackson that'll make you wanna move to Tijuana. Must be a typo and meant to say Jackson Hole.

It is a nice place. That whole northwest Arkansas area.
And southwest Missouri.

I love going to Austin to visit but there is no way it's the best place to live in the US
Apart from not being a state capitol, Fayetteville has always been Austin-in-miniature. So many similarities.
Our "Hill Country" area is mostly east and south, rather than west, and the formations are the same..karst uplift limestone. Drive an hour west of either city and you're undoubtedly in the Great Plains.
Both areas are mostly white with Latinos being the primary minority, and just as many Asians/Indians as black people.
Irretrievably "blue" dot in a red state with cravenly liberal city government, home to the big state university.
Our big corporate campuses are 20-25 minutes north of downtown in more conservative areas (in Austin many have moved downtown recently, Fayetteville has several tech startups set up shop in its downtown the past 3 years).
They have homeless junkies camping in their greenbelt. We now have the same in our greenbelt (because people move here without a plan, and the combination of Church people giving handouts, and a Progressive city government full of bleeding hearts).
They have slacker panhandlers on every corner. We've getting that here, too.
We don't have a Town Lake downtown, but we have a few smaller lakes, as well as a big clearwater reservoir out in the hills 20 minutes away.

Austin is a little too "diverse" shall we say.
