Phoenix was not mentioned.  With the population and GoDaddy being here
along with Intel you would think this place would be a growing tech hub.
 

I can tell you I do not think $142k in the bay area is very much.  I am
being told a converted 2 car garage goes for $5,000 a month.  That is a
huge chunk of that $142k annual salary. 

One can buy a $300k home here for $1600 a month.....  

Read some of the comments.  They say Austin is not the place to move to.
 according to the comments, in 20 years the population has doubled with
little infrastructure changes.
