Crockett you should go ahead and buy one. You probably lost out on 40k but the projects that are going up in downtown are changing the Austin market as we speak.

Austin born and raised!

Well i am on my way to Lake Austin to show a house. The boat is in the water and my office is 5mins down the street.

Well, I guess the chinese can say they are eating like a healthy American when they buy a McDonald's cheeseburger.

Hook line and sinker...

pot stickers have been Chinese for a thousand years, and water chestnuts are indemic to SE asia and have been grown in China for 3000. Nobody in China eats them.

I live just outside of Austin. Lived in Austin area most of my life and Austin proper quite a bit. You'd be suprised how 15 miles either way from Austin can seem so much different.

Austin is liberal....wierd...full of yuppies and hippies , techies , musicians (starving ones) , college kids , and alt more things I cant stand. But it IS a beatiful city. It's surrounded buy tress , lakes , and hills. The Colorado river runs right thru the middle.

I love living NEAR Austin. I couldn't live in it.

I dont know, not to worried about Houston, plenty of empty space between Austin and Houston still. Now San Antonio on one hand and DFW on the other hand, there might be problem.
I remember in late 70's Pflugerville and Round Rock were way out of town, and Georgetown just forget it, might as well drive to the moom. Nobody really went there for anything except Football games on Friday night. and driving south to San Antonio was miles and miles of nothing till you hit San Marcus and then more miles of nothing to New Braunfules with a short gap to San Antonio.
Now I swear you can drive from Georgetown to San Antonio (what 120 miles?) and you would be hard pressed to find more than a few miles of land that does not have a mall, shopping center, gas station, apartments or business parks built on it. the longest stretch of empty land might be between San Marcus and New Braunfuls, 5 miles maybe.

I live outside of Austin also, between Bastrop and Lockhart about 20 southwest of the airport.

Sixpence, did you know that 95% of restaurants in China use MSG daily?

That China consumes a large portion of the world's MSG? (greater than the USA's)

and that

Quote

source (non-USA, so it must be true)[/URL]
MSG-phobia still shows no signs of subsiding. This despite the fact that every concerned public body that ever investigated it has given it a clean bill of health, including the EU, the United Nations food agencies (which in 1988 put MSG on the list of 'safest food additives'), and the British, Japanese and Australian governments.

In fact, every government across the world that has a food licensing and testing system gives MSG - 'at normal levels in the diet' - the thumbs-up. The US Food and Drug Administration has three times, in 1958, 1991 and 1998, reviewed the evidence, tested the chemical and pronounced it 'genuinely recognised as safe.
