I just moved from Southern Cal to Austin in April.

FUCKING LOVE IT HERE, will never move back to California....

First, the heat is not bad, in fact, I think it was hotter this year in Southern Cal, difference is that there is a tiny bit of humidity, and you have the heat an extra month...but, there is so much to do here, you dont care.

Housing here is ridiculously cheap.
rush hour lasts for, get this.. about an hour, even less.
rush hour means you can only go 45
downtown is awesome, great night life
great culture
the lakes, so much fun
live music everywhere
you can go out to eat and you dont have to wait for a table usually
great concerts, musical groups love coming here
very low air pollution

There is so much more, the one hurdle I really had to get over in my decision to move here was TEXAS. But I have learned that Austin is really not Texas. It's an oasis in the middle of Texas.
