what is going on everyone how's the world treating you I hope good today I'm
gonna start the video off by saying I'm not your normal youtuber at least in one
respect and for all of you that are working on some snappy comeback just
stop typing nothing you say is going to be original or well-thought-out trust me
on that one never is rarely as I should say the
difference between myself and a lot of other youtubers is I take time out every
single day to read and answer some emails comments and Twitter dams most
youtubers don't they say it's not worth it because of all the BS that people
spew out at them I get the normal amount of negative people and trolls like
everyone else I normally read some of those I get about halfway through
whatever they're trying to say and I just delete it normally when I see
things like liberal bias or an Tifa I just delete it and don't even go on
lately I've noticed that some people have brought up the fact that I've never
done a reason not to move to Austin Texas I thought about it and I guess I
haven't Austin is a great city it is almost 1 million residents when you take
into consideration the whole metro area as closer to 2 million it's right here
in case you don't know they have a very cool nickname it's the live music
capital of the world a lot of that goes on there now I've been here a couple
times I love the people and I love the city but like I always tell people even
if it's a great place it may not be for everyone no place is perfect so why
don't you get comfortable and watch my top ten reasons not to move to Austin
Texas
number ten strange laws now I like to bring these ones up in my videos for not
as much a reason not to move someplace but more of an example of how the people
there think they have two laws in Austin that I love the first one is the
criminal notification while you're in the Austin City Limits if you're going
to commit a crime you must notify the person or location where the crime will
be committed you've also gotta tell them what time and what is the nature of the
crime or you've you know you'll be convicted of a second crime of not
notifying them and as we all know most criminals like to follow the law
whenever they can so I'm sure all kinds are just volunteering this information
the second one is the barefoot law according to an old law that has yet to
be overturned while you're in the City of Austin it is illegal to walk around
barefoot unless of course you are on your own property or you've actually got
a permit for it you have to have a permit to walk barefoot this probably
has something to do with all the hippies they've had back around Austin over the
years number 9 it's in Texas Austin isn't like Texas you'll be living
in a very liberal town in a very conservative Texas that should be enough
not to move there right off the bat don't get me wrong
Texas is a great state they've been doing things right for a very long time
good economy good schools low crime the list goes on they're also very
Republican very conservative which is nothing wrong with that just Austin and
the rest of Texas are complete polar opposites they're nothing alike
number eight cost of living the cost of living is kind of high in Austin most of
Texas is almost neutral with the national average not Austin there are
eight percent higher than the national average if you're coming from LA San
Francisco or New York this is gonna be a lot lower than what you're used to but
also you can remember this is Texas it's a relatively prosperous state with
somewhat mild costs of living like many other things in Austin it's not like the
rest of Texas and on top all that the cost of housing in Austin is 33% higher
than the national average so that sucks
number seven it's a college town Austin is home to the University of Texas and a
handful of smaller schools which makes Austin a big college town the majority
of the population would be that college-age types which is great if you
sell beer cellphones and condoms it sucks for almost everyone else
number six the weather the weather in Austin is rough if you're used to the
cold and enjoy things like different seasons the winters rarely get below the
50s and the summers will easily get into the triple digits now I get it
that sounds like desert weather but Austin isn't a desert if you're from
Portland OR Seattle it might seem like one to you but I assure you it doesn't
qualify as a desert it just gets really hot and never gets too terribly cold
number five crime before you say it yes every place has crime that's never been
the dispute the amount is what we're talking about so stop typing get that
all the time every place has crime yeah no kidding crime in Austin is horrible
and it's getting worse every single year by at least 3 percent the city has about
3,000 crimes committed per every 100,000 residents which is about ten crimes
daily making the overall crime rate about 31 percent worse than the national
average this again fights all Texas norms other than a bunch of border towns
Texas doesn't have terrible crime rates it just doesn't some places do in Texas
but a majority of over pretty decent
number four public transportation Austin sucks when it comes to public
transportation while the city does have a bus system they don't have any type of
light rail or streetcar system which is very common in most major cities these
days I've done a lot of research on public transportation if you're a
good-sized city you need a nice safe rail system it's a must these days
Austin being the type of city that it is very liberal and very you know
progressive I would think they would have had this done years ago their
traffic has been getting progressively worse every single year every single
year for probably the last five years I mean before that but it's really picked
up steam in the last five years if they aren't making plans already they better
start and if they don't know how to get it going give me a call I ride trains
all the time and I look at him a lot I probably know more about him than the
city officials in Austin at this point
number three air conditioning it's next to impossible to live in this city
without air conditioning it's hot in Austin and as the temperatures go up the
humidity goes down so circulating air is a necessity this is the point where some
dudes will feel a need to make a comment it will be something along the lines of
me being soft for needing air conditioning let me help you out I can
survive without air conditioning I've lived in Central America they don't
have air conditioning there at least the places I went if you want to be a tough
guy and sweat and smell all the time go ahead I don't like to I like women
number two transplants locals in Austin hate transplants so in case you decide
to move here just assume everyone hates you
Austin locals don't adapt to change well they're like the dinosaurs you'll get
the same stupidity here in Portland who's just a bunch of jackals move
wherever you want and number one bat now this one's a big one because almost
everyone hates bats well maybe not those dudes that hate air conditioning and
don't like to shower and like to smell they're not afraid of bats cuz they're
tough guys but lots of people of chiroptera phobia which is the fear of
bats in case you walk around very much outside at night you'll need to be
careful of bats there's roughly 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats within
the city of Austin and some even have rabies that sucks
the only thing that out numbers drunk college dudes in this city are bats how
bad is that I mean nobody likes bats well maybe unless you're like some goth
teenager that's trying to impress some guy at Taco Bell that owns a Python or
something like that and you tell him you got bats and you love bats maybe they're
the only person who like bats everyone else hates bats alright so that's the
top 10 reasons not to move to Austin Texas like I said Austin's a great city
great people a lot of things good are going on there it has 10 negative things
