Budget talk

[MexicanYarisTK]

What do you guys think about Memphis?

Theres an area in DC thats pretty much like Memphis, Southeast dc, not a single super market you will find, shootings is a regular thing and if you happen to drive by and being white as i am, they will look at you funny.

Whenever we get news about shooting, 8/10 its that area. Murder 1 in the district vs murder 1 in the country

Agreed, is Austin 'CA-Lite' because people from CA have moved there? Typical people trashing places they've never actually been. I would expect different from someone from OH, which is a very popular recipient of this (actually rather nice and most people think it's garbage).

In all honesty, fleeing destinations wise, I think Brad is doing it right, Eastern TN is pretty epic.

If silicon valley is too crowded and expensive, what's the next new up and coming tech hub that is quickly reaching parity in terms of cost? Austin is the obvious answer. I'm not trashing a place, it's just far from being dramatically different than SV in terms of cost of living and problems.

Austin has a great culture, but high COL and water shortages. Not to mention power grid issues via ERCOT.
I think the ship has sailed in regards to making Austin a home for myself. I'd look elsewhere.

High COL, water shortages, and grid issues? Sounds awfully similar to another place, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Speechless … but then again. Living up to the stereotype

Big tech should maybe seek out a part of the world that actually has water.

All I can offer at the moment is snow.

[MexicanYarisTK]

Whenever we had snow, highways would get plowed and there would be preparations. After what i see that highways were covered by maybe 2 inches of snow, snow funnnnn

Plus more agua.

My friend from Turkey works in an industry as such lives in Palo Alto (those who don't know, sf burbs) and they're working on a project to make water out of

Yes that shit exists

there is a literal ocean right there and desalination technology *exists*

I mean, you don't disagree, right? Austin has a lot of the same issues you're trying to get away from in California...

Not really no. Austin to Bay Area is like comparing foreign countries to me.

I think you’re mostly quoting headlines from 2-5 years ago.

I heard the MSM term of Austin being the SF of Texas and that’s just plain

That’s not SF burbs. It’s like almost an hr drive from the city. And it’s one the most expensive zip codes in the world. I went to school there actually … fuck that hell hole. Average house is 3.5-4 million for 2k sq feet. For literally nothing.

I hate what we call the “peninsula” here with a passion.

Fun fact I met our man from the desert in Palo Alto last week.

[max225]

If you’d actually like to hear why I think Austin is so different I’ll spend a couple of min typing up a lengthy thread

That im aware.

In Turkey, whenever there is a wildfire and it is near the water, planes have a huge bucket beneath it, grabs the water, and dumps it. Why didn't cali did the same

Didn't california has had drought issues and asked people to conserve water?

He also was a stanford grad school breh so theres that. Which makes sense why he ended up there.

Prob the worlds biggest aerial firefighting fleet and a couple of planes on loan from communist Canadia.

Separate thread on wild fires though

I haven't seen videos of it for them, so im not sure if they did do it plus hearing complaints about how they drained the tank before this issue was on the horizon.

Edit: saw the vid, it was so out of my initial radar

Actually disregard my question, i thought ive seen it

They do, but when they were at the worst the places could not fly due to the wind.

Yes. But they have plenty of resources if they managed them well, and we have the technology to use seawater for fire fighting; they just refuse to spend the money.
