  1. If you’re going up to Ridge, Unti is a good property to stop by on the way.

    Importer/distributor are for me the biggest proxy for quality if I don’t know the producer.
  3. We’reTexas replied to Hollywood's topic in Food and Travel
    France, and maybe some Italy, imo.
  4. It’s driven mainly by natives leaving due to housing crisis and lack of job opportunities that can afford said housing crisis.

    Who is distributing her stuff in Texas? I almost never even see it in the Bay.
  6. And get charged for crossing all four quadrants, of course!
  7. Georgetown was the epicenter of nightlife during the Bush administration but has long since fallen out of favor as the city gentrified eastward. I was as much of a Glover Park douchebag as one could be back in the day but even I was eventually trying to bang hipster chicks in the basement of Saint Ex.
  8. I just checked and Lauriol Plaza is somehow still in business? Now that is a blast from the past.
  9. Prices are for sure sustainable but well-functioning communities? Yeah, with you there.
  10. I suppose I misread your post, but I was simply pointing out that VHCOL cities have generic suburbs too, and these burbs are increasingly the only hope for homeownership for families without generational wealth or a liquidity event. Consequently, many choose to move. Hence, the subject of this thread.
  11. Eh, not sure about that. Metropolitan areas include suburbs, and while the suburbs in these areas are more on the old small towns-engulfed-by-growth side of the spectrum, they are still for the most part very much suburbs. Since this has turned into a TX vs CA thread: we’ve always felt that if we couldn’t live in San Francisco proper we’d just move back to Texas or New Orleans. With a few exceptions, the S.F. and SJ metro areas are suburban strip mall sprawl, and often with weather nearly as bad as Texas. NIMBYism has driven homeownership away from the middle class and Prop 13 has starved municipalities of funds to support education and infrastructure. I can’t blame folks wanting to raise kids in decent suburbs with public schools for simply opting for an analogue in Circle C or Plano or wherever.
  12. What in the actual fuck is this about? Was in Austin last week and wine/cocktails at the hipster spots were easily $17+. Same in Houston.
  13. Yes, Bay Area/NYC is highest pay zone. At our company Austin would be a 20% cut, and I’d say that’s standard for FAANGs and other big tech cos.
  14. Which Liuzza’s?
  15. We’reTexas replied to a post in a topic in Cloak Room
  16. Yep, it’s just supply and demand. Crackdown on prescription opioids sent prices up and people to heroin, crackdown on heroin sent prices up and dealers cutting with fentanyl. At this point in the crisis addicts buy it as a standalone product.
  17. Same. It’s been the greatest indignity I’ve suffered in my life.
  18. Sure, but I’m talking about open air drug markets like the Tenderloin or Skid Row; no one goes to these places for drugs without an addiction in the first place. What I’m saying is these are now, and have been for a few years, blatant fentanyl markets, and it is a totally fucked situation with a massive overdose crisis.
  19. We’reTexas replied to Hollywood's topic in Food and Travel
    Chantereves, imo.
  20. At this point there’s no pretense, people straight up buy fentanyl.
  21. The value is it’s cheap and valuable. Take a walk down the skid row of any major city and you’ll see the repeat customers.
  22. Favorite po boy in town, imo.
  23. I think Odd Duck would for sure get a star. One star is kind of the realm of cool kid chefs not into the austerity of the tasting menu. Two star plus is a different world and those places sort of only exist where Michelin reviews to validate the absurd economics of their existences.
  24. We’reTexas replied to Hollywood's topic in Food and Travel
    Well, the climate is warmer, but it’s mostly a generational thing from the Robert Parker era. All the cool kids are much lower these days.
