$1000 a month wouldn't even begin to help cover the cost of basic housing in Utah, I'm not sure what the situation is in Austin. I made a good salary but still wasn't able to afford a single bedroom apartment in Salt Lake, and now that rent has gone way up here, nobody can. In fact most former renters are now on the street.
Nobody in Utah can afford a house if they didn't already own one. Because of the outrageous prices, all the homebuyers are out of state millionaires who buy up property to rent out to other rich couples.
Maybe we should all move to Austin, if only they'd move Austin out of Texas and into a better state.
You're about a decade and a half too late on that idea. Austin is crumbling under the massive weight of newcomers (mostly tech). Housing, rent, traffic, you name it. It's no longer the haven of good jobs and cheaper living that it was 15 - 20 years ago.
I've read about that and all the influx of newcomers into Austin. It's the exact same here in Salt Lake (of all places). Young people are moving here in droves, I think mostly because there's tons of low-paying jobs available. That is - the jobs SEEM not all that low paying until you look at the astronomical rent and housing prices here. (IN SALT LAKE, OF ALL GOD FORSAKEN PLACES!!!!!).
