IF we wanna get serious about missed-out revenue in Austin, we can start with the insane amount of land dedicated in Central Austin to State of Texas buildings. And then Camp Mabry. Oh yeah, I forget...citizens need to be near all those "services" between 11th & 18th street. Meanwhile, that's the only place you can park in Central Austin because nobody goes to those fucking buildings except the people who work in them. THey could just as easily go to work past 130, or NE Austin, or anywhere else cheaper.
That was kinda my point. We do a lot of dumb stuff with property tax exemptions.

Chronicle has had a good series this week about how Texas gives churches a tax break on homes for their clergy. No difficult for us to see how this could be abused. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/investigations/unfair-burden/article/parsonages-religion-texas-tax-free-clergy-homes-16678079.php
Even when the property violates the requirement to be under 1 acre, many jurisdictions look the other way saying the state law is too vague to enforce.
I think we can accept a scenario where a church is giving their 20k salaried pastor a home, perhaps not charging property tax is acceptable. But Kenneth Copeland has a 18,000 sq ft home valued at $7m and the local county gets squat in property tax.
And we all realize why this is a problem. If Copeland doesn't pay his $150K annual tax (or whatever) on his estate, the money has to be made up from the rest of county residents. The law should be changed to only allow one or two exemptions per church and the exempted amount shouldn't surpass the median residential improvement value for that county.
Cool. Now do the University of Texas Chancellor's tax free residence.

All of this chatter needs to stop. The obvious winner is a whole wheat Savage (with anchovies and Japs -- no racist) from Conan's on West Anderson Lane.

^This. Most errbody not in the business of brewing (or distilling, for that matter) has much of a clue of how little the cost of making the liquid has to do with the cost of a finished retail product.

The Mafia is not nearly clever enough to figure out how to wash money using a domiciled in-house financing cash systems. After the 1970's...it would blow you away how fucking stupid the Italian Cosa Nostra was. I mean like legit mentally retarded. Beyond fucking stupid. They inherited a fool-proof system and managed to fuck if up to where it not only lost money, got them sent to prison, but it also made it so they killed each other so we wouldn't have to do it for 'em. Literally the dumbest fucking "white people" in U.S. History were the Italians in 1980's United States. If I sound racially insensitive, let me repeat, Italians are fucking stupid. That they get to call themselves a part of any race is an offense to every single fucking race on the face of God's Green Earth.
That doesn't keep folks from trying to pull it off, though ...

Check out 2020 Market Scratch Kitchen. Farm to table kinda place. Think Jack Allen's with a broader menu.
They also have a new related place in the same complex called Hard Count Kitchen & Cocktails. Haven't been there yet, but it gets great reviews.

This is the one current topic that it doesn't belong in. He belongs in the transfer thread or his own thread.
So it will definitely be posted here first.

Sir Mix-a-lot would be proud
The Stallion always had great Chicken Fried steaks and gravy. Add a couple of cheap bottles of Lone Star or Pearl beer and all was right with the world.

Pretty sure Austin switched to 512 in the late 90s, so I doubt rotary had much to do with that.
Austin has been in the 512 area code since area codes were established in post-WWII era. 512 used to cover most of South Texas.

McKool Smith has put the hurt on some pretty large entities in more expensive litigation than this will ever be.
No doubt that they are a big-time law firm, but this lawsuit seems dubious. I pay for surly, the WSJ, some legal and investigative databases erry month. Does the City of Austin really get a piece of action from that?
P.S. -- just started thinking about my other online services that I pay for: AVG, Office 365, Dropbox, PACER, research.txcourts.gov. Nuts!

Property tax-free, clergy homes
in Daily Texan
Posted
The state doesn't collect property taxes. Property taxes are paid to local governmental entities and school districts.
