@isaria and I have been living in Austin, TX for just about 4 years now. In those 4 years, I've grown to hate it. The traffic is awful, the cost-of-living has skyrocketed, and you can't drive more than 2 minutes without some automatic toll taking money from you.
We've been talking about moving for quite a while, and as of this July, it's going to happen.
The choices are as follows:
El Paso, Tx... It's about as far west as you can go in Texas, the cost-of-living is low, but I would have to find a new job. New job and finding a place to live that's an 8 hour drive away is pretty daunting.
Longview, TX.. It's between Shreveport, LA, and Dallas, TX but really in the middle of nowhere. It has everything one would need and the pay in that section of TX can be FANTASTIC... But, no one dreams of growing up to live in Longview. I can transfer there with my current company, so that would take the job hunt out of the equation.
What would you do?
