My son, daughter-in-law and myself have been seriously looking into a move to Texas since their granddaughter moved almost a year ago. My deceased husband was from the Texas panhandle but I have just about fallen in love with Texas Hill Country. It looks like work is fairly easy to get if you don't stray too far from Austin.Well I dont know if a grocery store is the last word but HEB is certainly a Texas Icon for sure.
And it's a fantastic grocery store,the Wife and I wont shop anywhere else other than maybe a quick trip to Sprouts if we lack a vegetable for a recipe.
Mainly because they're right down the street and they have nice veggies.
To tell you the truth I dont know how the other stores stay in business. Their parking lots are empty while HEB's is packed.
Good. Blue votes arriving now that they can work from home.

I would seldom go to Austin. It all depends on what the Juniors decide but living in Austin itself isn't under consideration.I've owned several places on the South Llano river in the Hill Country and it's definitely a beautiful place to live.
Great weather very few mosquitos and other flying biting insects and a shit load of wildlife along with some beautiful rivers and lakes.
I regret selling our last place years back but the Wife and I plan on moving back after She retires.
As long as you dont mind all the liberals in Austin it's a fine place to live. Best bet is to live outside of Austin and commute into town.
It really saddens me to see what Austin has become since I frequented the city back in the 80's.

I personally don't do anything. I'm a retired attorney. My son is a developer but he is looking to get out of that. My DIL is admin which is anywhere. One of the reasons for the move is for my son to get out of dev. He has two history degrees and a fine arts degree. He's been talking to some museums about taking on a curator position. Who knows.Work out in the Hill Country can be hard to find unless you're in the city.
San Antonio is just on the eastern side of the Hill Country and there's plenty of jobs to be had.
Same with Austin,the smaller the city the harder it is to find a job.
What kind of work do you do?

I can't really say I do nothing. I write and I paint. A gallery would be nice.
Fortunately I do not need to rely on my earnings as an artist.There are some artsy places in the Hill Country.
Whether you could make a living is questionable.
It's up to them. I just tag along for the ride. I really like the Hill Country. I have seen pictures and some look like it could be New England.You may have to take a job below your education level unless you go to San Antonio or Austin.
You might look into Fredericksburg,it's a small and up and coming town.

A lib whistling past the graveyardGood. Blue votes arriving now that they can work from home.
Not true.
I speak to California transplants here in Texas and they assure me they most certainly wont be voting for what made them leave California in the first place.
Liberalism in Austin is coming from the University.And you believe them ... that's funny ... Texas is already complaining about liberalism in Austin ... this will get much worse ... and you know it ...
The fact remains ... the hippies split from California when things got crazy ... there were no hippies in San Francisco during the Summer of 1967 ... they left the State ... that's what you'll get if you let Californians into your community ... liberals have money to relocate, conservatives don't ...
I don't think so.
