My overall experience as a New Braunfels resident has been nothing but enjoyable. I have lived here for nine years, and met all of my life long friends here. This city started out to be a little town with not as many people as there is now. New braunfels has grown to be the second fastest growing city in the United States. I love how everyone who is a local here, is just so sweet and well mannered. Unlike most cities, you don't encounter that every day. I will say I would like to see some change as far as traffic goes. The traffic is so bad here that it will take you 30 minutes to get anywhere. There has also been so many shops and restaurants that have been built to cause that. Although I won't be living here much longer, I have made the best memories here with the best people and I wouldn't change a thing. I will now say goodbye to coming to my home every day in New Braunfels, and I will be moving to further my education at Texas Tech University.
I feel the city is very conservative. Experience with recent abortion protests drives home the conservative values of the city. The annual parade also demonstrates conservative republican values. The children at the middle school destroyed the bathrooms, broke a door in half and urinated in the soap dispensers. It is not uncommon to over hear racial slurs in public, from all types of people. The schools have a reputation for rowdy kids and unheard of senior pranks and destruction of public property.
Love this hometown. It has doubled in size since I was born. We have beautiful parks, gentle hill country and two rivers. We are located in the middle of Austin, TX and San Antonio, TX. Our diverse cultures of German and Mexican and numerous others make this an incredible town! I plan on staying around this area as long as I can. It is beautiful land, and good people.
