Welcome! I'm from right outside of Fayetteville, AR, which is in many ways a sister city to Austin. Similarly explosive growth in population and road congestion, similarly situated politically with trending towards left of center while surrounded by a state right of center, although Fayetteville isn't a state capital like Austin. Lots of migration between both cities as well if the numbers are to be believed, although we get a lot more from the Dallas/Arlington/Ft. Worth area than Austin. Lots of TX plates around here, likely because of the U of A, but not entirely as there's lots trying to escape TX as it's being overrun by CA folk.
