Talk:Austin, Texas/@comment-95.17.187.22-20121118123227

First off, Austin is the capitol because at the time of the Texas Revolution, what would become known as Houston was a marsh and swamp, and Austin had already hosted imortant political meetings. There is also a reason that it has the motto "Keep Austin Weird". It's got one of the heigher crime rates in the state as well. The reson it is so liberal is because it has one of the biggest Liberal Arts Colleges in the nation. It is a very strange place indeed.
