To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It’s like saying that you cheat on your taxes. But if I say I live in Austin, the nearly universal response is, “Oh, Austin is cool.” This from people who may have never even been here. For them, living in Austin is forgivable in a way that living in Texas is not. The relationship between the capitol and the city of Austin is antagonistic. Austin has long been known as the blue dot on the red state. It sees itself as standing apart from the vulgar political culture of the rest of Texas, like Rom...e surrounded by the Goths. Republican politicians bridle at the disdain. “It’s great to be out of the People’s Republic of Austin,” Governor Abbott declared recently at a Republican dinner in Bell County. “Once you cross the Travis County line, it starts smelling different. And you know what that fragrance is? Freedom. It’s the smell of freedom that does not exist in Austin, Texas.”This tirade was apparently triggered by a local ordinance that requires a permit to cut down a tree with a trunk diameter that exceeds nineteen inches.
