I'm glad you had some fun in Austin. The Thinkery is a great museum.

The traffic here is awful. I read somewhere once that the city council back in the 80s purposefully didn't make the roads easier because they liked their little hippie city and didn't want lots of people moving here. But then the tech boom happened in Austin and we've been one of the fastest growing cities in the country for years and year and years. Sadly we don't have the infrastructure to keep up. Also, Austin was one of the most segregated cities, by design, and now gentrification is happening all over.
