Default Where to live with soaring in mind?

What places should I consider? Why?


Two words: Austin. Texas.

Well, a few mo
- Year-round soaring possible (6 knots to 6,500 feet last week!)
- 10+ knot summer thermals
- Short, mild winters (50's to low 80's in Dec, Jan, & Feb; rare frosts &
freezes)
- Hot, dry summers (90's to low 100's in July & August)
- Showery springs full of wild flowers from March through mid-June
- Perfect fall weather usually lasts from mid-September to early December
- Palm trees (people were not designed to live where palm trees won't grow!)
- World-class university town
- Great schools
- Dynamic, multi-cultural community
- Vibrant arts scene
- Local soaring club with its own airfield
- Live music capital of the world!
- Lakes, rivers, trees, hills, parks, trails
- Easy access to Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, & Gulf beaches
- Relatively low cost of living
- Lots of local airports
- No state income tax
- Choice of urban, suburban, and rural lifestyles all within 30 mins of
downtown
- It's in Texas!
- Even better, it's in the Texas Hill Country!
