San Antonio is just another big city, so remote workers would just live in the Austin burbs if they wanted a "big city experience" and, as stated, Corpus is the "best" coastal area close to Austin. It is a medium size town, so they probably have areas with fiber internet too.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of small towns on the coast and around Austin are experiencing a larger than average boom. Since there are also plenty of companies based in San Antonio and Houston that are allowing remote work, there should be an overlap of people fleeing both Austin/SA on one side, and Austin/Houston on the other.
The Texas hill country, west of Austin, is the best looking place I have been in Texas. The land from Marble Falls to Fredericksburg is probably going to the moon too.

I also looked at that one to see how recent the flip was.
The entire neighborhood is post WWII family housing. Everything is on like 3" thin concrete slabs with no AC or central heating.

ftfy. Here's my anecdote. Live in a tiny town (population is single-digit thousands, more than an hour to the nearest interstate) that has no other reason anyone would want to move here. No tourism, no jobs, etc. Had jury duty a while back, and half of the people serving moved here from California. Housing prices have at least doubled in the last few years.

Nice small towns here have been discovered. Houses just outside of them have gone way up in price, and good plots of land are silly expensive.

It's crazy how connected I am to some people on this site.
I lived on Alaska Dr, out near Clayton for about 2 years. Prior to that I rented this shit heap for $1,400/mo, which was too much. This was around 2008. No A/C. 2719 Gill Dr, Concord, CA 94520 | Zillow
Edit: I did the flooring and the storage in the garage in this place.... Landlord was a cool guy, equities trader, I got a month of rent for free for doing that.. making it nice while living in it. This was back in 2008-2010. 5526 Alaska Dr, Concord, CA 94521 | Zillow

That little neighborhood seems to be surrounded by houses that are in the millions. Whats up with that?
That little shit stain condo there has an HOA fee of $563/month. Looking over it and its amenities - what in the actual fuck are they spending it all on? Someones getting loaded.

The high HOA fees in CA seem to be everywhere and normal. Friends of mine in Aliso Viejo in a townhouse smaller than my first house pay $800 a month in HOA fees. All they get out of it is a small children's park with 1 slide on it and "maintained common areas." They don't even get a community pool.
Has to do with a special brand of CA faggotry where you literally only own the exact spot of land the house is on and not a thing outside of it. Along with other CA faggotry.

Aliso Viejo is a pricey area, like the majority of south Orange County. Still $800 is stupid.
We’re farther north and lucky to be in a solid neighborhood where people keep their shit in order as a matter of principle. There is an HOA but fees are voluntary and used to maintain foliage near sidewalks, etc.

It's not coming back. You don't realize what you had till it's gone. There is a chance if population declines continue it could improve some in about 20-30yrs but even then we will likely still have a shortage due to age of homes falling off the back end. Especially poorly built post war stock.
So many retards on twitter not realizing that our experience was unique, the rest of the socialist world had already ruined any chance at widespread home ownership. We copy their economic policies now we get the same. Affordibility can and likely will get much much worse. Just going to take time for people to realize the " working poor" owning a home will no longer be a thing.

I'm often been stunned at how people usually fully understand the devaluation of the dollar but then they seem to completely forget that when thinking about hard assets . We have on this board numerous people who will post in the investing thread "INFLATION IS GONNA FUCK YOU ALL" then come to this thread and say "HOUSING CRASH INCOMING!"
We love to post charts showing market growth over time and I certainly believe in that, but I only believe in that really because of this chart. I'd bet my kids on this chart.
