Nestor's statement definitely sounds like he's saying that Austin isn't a
livable place.  I don't think Gordon was telling him to get out of town
for complaining about the traffic.  I think he was suggesting that Nestor
leave if he thought Austin was unlivable.  In other words, "Don't stick
around if you don't like it here.  If Austin doesn't suit you, do
something about it rather than just complaining about it."

Anyway, that's how I read it.  I'm sure Gordon will correct me if I'm wrong.
