Is the American Dream Still Alive in Austin, Texas?

Is the American Dream still alive in Austin, Texas, or has the city officially priced out everyone who doesn’t moonlight as a tech founder? In this video, we break down the real cost of living in Austin, including housing prices, rent averages, property taxes, utilities, transportation costs, and what it actually takes to afford a home in Central Texas in 2025. We’ll look at Austin’s job market, major employers like tech companies, job growth, salary averages, and whether the city still offers economic opportunity for normal people—or just people fluent in “startup speak.” We cover quality of life, crime rates, school ratings, commute times, traffic problems, and how Austin stacks up against other Texas cities like Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Georgetown.
