Let me count the ways:
1 - I don't want to live in one of the fastest growing cities in the US.
2 - Median house price has gone up over 35% in 7 years so real estate investment in my neighborhood is no longer feesable.
3 - The Austin American Statesman is one of the most useless newspapers in the nation.
4 - SXSW and ACL Fest are impossible to go to anymore - way expensive and overcrowded.
5 - Austin is one of the largest cities in the country without a franchise in any of the four major sports leagues.
6 - toll roads.
7 - The joke that Cap Metro is.
8 - Tearing down all the trees that made this city beautiful to build more giant houses on tiny lots in neighborhoods that look just like all the neighborhoods in every other city in the US.
9 - Loads of folks moving here from other places for the $$ and consequently ruining many of the things that made Austin such a great place to live in the first place.

Do you need more, cause I have more.
