58. It's a great place if one has a good education and a great job. My wife remembers it from the sixties ...

... when the population was under 300,000 and the town died when UT let out for the summer and if it was an off year for the Legislature.

I got here in the nineties about when they should have closed the gates cut off anymore of us. It was fun while it lasted, the thing that did it for me was when they realigned Lloyd Doggett's district, cutting Austin into three districts, the two new ones went GOP and the GOP felt that Doggett would fall in the next election or two. He's still standing, but by 2005 or so rents went through the roof.
