But we have no sales tax.
Also, Austin doesn't have a cold winter, but have you ever dealt with 100+ for weeks at a time? I grew up in the south and the heat is one of the things that drove me out. I just got sick and tired of it. My family is still in SC and ATL and I actually visit Austin quite a bit. It's HOT. As for being progressive, yes, the city is, but look at the rest of Texas.
I would throw in Bend, OR but the airport isn't great. You would just connect to PDX for everything.
