美國最有動力和宜居之城-德州奧斯丁

今天我們再次走進久違近两年的德州首府奧斯丁，沿著七十一號州際公路，到處塵土飛揚，大型吊車沿公路兩旁林立。

現任特斯拉公司老闆馬斯克在此許下了豪語，他將在德州建立特斯拉電動車的世界王國，並將把生產基地放在奧斯丁。

世界知名品牌蘋果、三星、谷歌、亞馬遜近年來也紛紛在此設廠，由于電子電腦科技之不斷遷入，它已成為了美國的另一個矽谷。

超過五萬學生的德州大學，是奧斯丁最重要的學術重鎮，整年温度在七十攝氏度，這𥚃的山丘湖泊使它成為全美最宜居城市的前三名。

為何有如此多的外州居民和企業不斷湧入，其原因應該是多方面的，德州沒有个人州稅，對於土地取得和工廠之興建，持開放和調合之態度，其中最重要的還有地產價格相對非常便宜，由于公立大學有大量各科畢業生，人才不缺。

生活在這個德州首府有郷村和城市結合之氛圍，詹森總統曾是這𥚃的德州人，如今詹森夫人湖已經成為超過四百畝可以蓄水之水厙及風景湖，走在德州大學附近之街道，那裡的鄉村音樂和正宗烤肉已成為觀光客必訪之地。

今午我們又重遊市區拉馬北街的中國城，市容整潔，超市餐廳林立，又重回疫情前之榮景，我們感謝這些勤奋努力的華亞裔同胞，他們的努力代表了美國多元民族社區不可或缺的成就。

Austin is the state capital of Texas home of the University of Texas campus. The city has many parks and lakes that are popular for biking, swimming, boating and hiking.

Austin has a natural beauty full of lovely outdoor wonders and places for sports and recreation as well as an arts community with people doing creative work.

Today there are many reasons why so many people want to move to Texas,  especially to Austin. Austin has 70 degree weather almost year round. Texas doesn’t have a personal state tax and has a very friendly attitude toward business. Most importantly, is that we have very low real estate prices compared with the east and west coasts.

When I traveled to North Lamar street and visited Chinatown again, we found out the whole center was fully occupied with a supermarket and restaurants full of customers. I am so glad the economy is recovering
