Don't expect much from that food court unless it's improved a lot over the last few years.
I would not relocate to Austin or anywhere else in Texas for $70,000 much less $7000. Even a bastion of sanity in Texas is still in Texas. What if my daughter needed healthcare "south of the border", go to court?
I'd take my chances with the severance pay and live somewhere sane where they can keep the lights on.
