Texas country owns by the way. This is also what Texas is like.

There are timberwood and wrought iron-clad bars called "The Texan" that play poo poo like this 24/7 nonstop across the entire state. It's not even a franchise or anything, more of an independent cultural ley line. Honkey-tonk drinking is fine every once in a while but I gotta be in the mood otherwise it's just grating. I prefer the quiet desperation of real dive bars usually.

I honestly don't understand how people can listen to a white southern male voice and not want to bash their head through a glass window.

the state's business leaders - i.e. the people who run texas from top to bottom - are finally starting to realize that the redneck image isn't attractive to high-tech workers (unless they're indian) and high-tech business. it's the same reason facebook and google have work-play campuses to attract top talent.

case in point is rick perry four years ago:

but yeah think about it. what does anyone think austin is all about anyways? sxsw, keep austin weird, etc.?

the state's business/GOP leaders have tried to sell texas as a destination for business by marketing it as a low tax and low regulation state, with some success. but the real jackpot is the silicon valley ($$$) billions. problem is high-tech workers don't want to live in a redneck shithole, they'd rather live in san francisco. also mexican immigration (which inherently grows the economy because immigration = more people) and fracking won't last forever.

so what you're seeing is a deliberate attempt to rebrand the state into being cool. sell "low regulation" to business owners and entice the workers with urban cosmopolitan cool. and there's a lot of silicon valley libertarians who find that combination very attractive.

:ssh:

austin is "socially progressive" but that's also totally compatible with right-wing economic policies. welcome to 2014 cyberpunk neo-texas and your future america.

i wouldn't be surprised. but i think it's mainly because the competition for top engineers in the bay area is so intense. at least that's what i was told inside one of those offices a few weeks ago.

As far as ghetto looking run down cities on the gulf coast New Orleans is doing pretty well. Gulfport-Biloxi, Beaumont-Port Arthur, Lake Charles are the real gulf coast shitholes.

it's pretty much what every sizeable company outside the bay area does so it would follow they'd do a more aggressive and thorough version of the same thing, like facebook building a company town
