Keeping the university out of the argument, Austin is in the running for one of the worst. Lawlessness abounds. It’s not a good place anymore.

It’s been cleaned up a lot. And even then, it wasn’t on par with what you see at a lot of major cities.

I keep hearing this over and over again, and I believed it. Then a couple weeks ago I went to Austin for a few days...it's a perfectly fine place with a great food scene. Yeah, there's homelessness, but which city doesn't have that right now? I expected San Francisco but got clean streets and a good time.

Even though the Ags love to run down anything Longhorn, this ag has a point. Austin was a great place in the early '80s when I first attended school at UT. Mix of hippies, rednecks, students, rich but not pretentious people, and Hispanic and Black people who could afford to live there, and who were mostly "live and let live" and got along.
I hardly recognize the place when I go back now. Suburban sprawl has run over all the cool little towns that used to be located out through the country. Traffic is in gridlock, and the regular people have been pushed out by hipsters or whatever you call them who live in million dollar condos in those tall residence towers downtown, blocking the view of the state Capitol building in most directions.
Still some good food there though, and I recognize many of the buildings when I get back on campus, which has not changed too much...
