Another person I know is leaving Austin after being a victim of crime. Law isn't being enforced. She's moving back to San Diego.
I've been looking at Knoxville, Tennessee. Unfortunately, not too many recent builds have natural gas run to the house. ☹️
Things are tough all over. Looked at two place today - the first was on 10 acres out in the woods. Except the house is 16 feet from the property line and on the other side of the line is an abandoned meth house. The second on 12 acres that ajoined a real nice private lake. Perfect, except the house was a thing out of Stephen King. The siding was cedar but that ugly, weathered, dark brown like on the left here:

Bad vibe city down there one could easily imagine Vincent Price walled up behind the cinder block. Not much better upstairs - behind the washer/dryer utility room was a funky little space that could only be described as an autopsy room. It had this wooden tray/sink thing with a drain in the bottom. Out of the wall was a Rube Goldberg of pipes with four shutoff valves. From each valve was hooked a tube. Just perfect for femoral artery insertion and wash out.
It also had some convoluted spray irrigation septic system. Looks like it would cost mucho dinero to maintain:
