St. Louis vs Austin — which is better?

My family moved here when I was a kid. You can expect to pay around $978 for rent here. Rent is about $978/month for a decent place. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Would love some local perspective. Looking forward to hearing from you all. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Hot take but I genuinely enjoy living here. I know a lot of people disagree but after 4 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's not perfect but it works for me. Happy to answer more specific questions..

I work in construction here and I have mixed feelings honestly. The job market for my field is challenging. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
