Good points about the flocking to Austin and the H2O issue.. I would be surprised if everyone wasn't affected by a water crises in the future..( longer term)
I know tons of people that have made the move already... to places like Austin, Denver, etc... My sister just recently decided to sell her house in Rockville Centre and move down to Charleston, SC with her family..
There is something to be said for a slowed down pace in life and to live somewhere that people treat each other as humans.. It's not NY, that I know.
Probably get an extra 7-10 years out of life as well.. LOl.
