I live in DC and I'm visiting Austin rn, and I just gotta say, right back at you buddy. I'm lucky the friend I'm visiting has a guest bedroom on 6th st, I'm having an amazing time. If you live where my friend lives things are mostly walkable (though he admits having a car is a necessity). Visited the LBJ library, and a bunch of amazing venues full of people having fun and living life to the fullest. 10/10.
