Every part of our great nation is feeling the financial squeeze from job losses to declining real estate values and beyond but the news in Austin, Texas is better than expected.  Please read the article from the Austin Business Journal on the state of the job market -- Austin only major city to add jobs in last year. While reviewing the ABJ site, I noticed a comment from a newbie to Austin and his response to an article recently posted -- Report: Austin the nation's top city for a 'fresh start'.  The Texas transplant is not happy about our traffic and the fact that we are a more expensive city to live than "Denver".  He is right, our traffic is terrible and we are NOT the least expensive city to live -- but how can you beat the Texas hospitality, sustainable economy, growth projections, Sunbelt weather and yes, affordability -- to name a few.  At the risk of sounding like a Braggadocio Texan -- this is the place to live, work and play.  Watch Austin, Texas!
