Executive Summary
The classic tech diaspora tale: escaping taxes only to realize you miss good burritos and ambient anxiety.
We moved to Texas. We bought cowboy hats. We talked about "freedom" and "lower taxes" for six straight months. It was exhausting.
Turns out, when you move a bunch of tech bros to Austin, it just becomes a sweatier, flatter Silicon Valley. The rent goes up, the traffic gets worse, and suddenly you are paying $8 for a taco.
The Return of the Prodigal Idiots
We miss the fog. We miss the unreasonable rent. We even miss the people pitching us crypto startups in line at Blue Bottle. We are coming back, SF.
