  1. Paying a reasonable price to enjoy a tasty, satisfying breakfast in a pleasant cafe to own the libs.
  2. This reminds me- there’s another property I’m looking at, which has been an STR for a very long time. The lot is appraised fairly at around 800, and the improvement is appraised around the same. That said, if it’s not a tear down it is at the very least a remodel down to the studs. Why wouldn’t the owner protest?
  3. Cabinets aside, it really is a gorgeous house. I don’t love the lot but the house is extremely well designed and flows beautifully. We have no interest in a 5/4 house right now as empty nesters and we are looking at something different nearby, but that house will be a pretty attractive deal for somebody at 2.7-2.8M
  4. This fucking franchise
  5. Wordle 1,598 3/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  6. I use all powders and my chili is the fucking bomb. Go and do likewise. It’s in the Bible.* *Luke 10:37
  7. If only. Trust me. I go WAY back in this town. Our voters suck in an organic way. It’s an even split of rootless transients, cheap hayseeds dimwit progressives and grouchy oldtimers (my category). Our entire civic culture has been broken since the Kocureks died.
  8. If you say so. I think it’s about whipping voters into ignoring the simple fact that almost 40% of general fund expenses go to support a police force that treats crimes in progress as a low priority when multiple cars show up to traffic stops. But sure. Tell me more about $4000 worth of lunches. To paraphrase Ric Flair, I spend more money on spilt liquor.
  9. Probably better on a diet than Sweetgreen
  10. Strip joint ATM withdrawals don’t count as meals.
  11. You raise an interesting question. I wonder if there’s a single senior executive working in the CBD of a large American city who expenses less than $5000 on meals in an average year…
  12. This is for people who think Judge Holden and the Glanton gang are the good guys.
  13. Of course there are lots of things that could be cut. And if you ran for office or volunteered your time to contribute to the budget process you could help make that sausage. Otherwise, you get an up or down vote, assuming you live in city limits. Now, for me, this was close to a coin flip but there’s enough necessity involved that my choice was to vote for this. And, because I am close enough to city politics to know who is orchestrating the opposition, my personal disdain for their motives exceeds my disdain for the budget package. That said, take heart! I am convinced Prop Q will fail, and we’ll continue to drift back towards the traditional Austin model of underinvestment by design.
  14. I don’t think they will drive more people to homelessness but it certainly won’t help much. But you don’t think personal spite is a good reason to vote a tax increase?
  15. I’m not telling, but if you want to find it bad enough you can. Do a screen for “architectural gem” with builder grade cabinets.
  16. Indeed. My agent asked if I wanted to make an offer over list, and I do. $995,001.

  18. If they were actually willing to sell it anywhere close to that price, it would be a great deal.
  19. Anyway, want to go camping?
  20. Huh. I’ve met quite a few HUB contractors. What percentage do you figure were Trump/Abbott/Patrick/Paxton voters? 65-70%, I bet.
  21. A new house popped up in our screen today- a 2025 4K SF spec build that has been on the market for 6 months. Originally offered just over $4mm. here’s what happened since then:
