Deaf-Friendly Cities in the U.S.
from http://deaf411online.com/dfc.php
"Austin may be one of the best places for a young deaf person to live in the U.S. It has a youthful energy in the city and has some of the most creative accessibility programs for deaf people. The city is small enough for hearing people to accommodate deaf residents comfortably, but the deaf community is also large enough that many different deaf activities are also available."
