    Care to elaborate on “worst parts of Texas” despite only driving through the area to “pee or grab fast food”?

      I live in Texas and have since I was a baby, and was saying I had spent little time in Austin itself.

      I’ve driven through Austin on the way visit family further south.

      Worst parts of Texas mostly stems for the state level politics, but roads and other infrastructure suck, the power grid is a nightmare, having worked in a public school education is sorely lacking (and it isn’t the fault of the teachers).

      Can’t forget the racism, anti-intellectual attitudes, and the fact that most people would be happy to have the orange fascist in charge for the rest of his life.

      Austin has more leftist ideals than the rest of the state, and their goal to stay weird or whatever, is very gimmicky compared to the rest of the state.

      Houston is just massive, Dallas has businesses, Ft. Worth has the stockyards, all their own niche and Austin is just the weird kid eating crayons for attention.

      But hey, if the state flips blue in my lifetime I’ll certainly celebrate.
