    Welp, enjoy it while you can.  I'd guess half of those moves never happen since you have to remain solvent and income free during a 1+ year construction project.  Most people have moved on by then to retirement or another opportunity. If they do move in, most don't survive because the average Austinite can't figure out where to park for ground level retail.

    I look forward to Hoover's joining the Austin airport's graveyard of mom and pop restaurants.

    She then told a story of an individual coming into her restaurant and paying for food.

    “Just recently I had a migrant come into my cafe that recently passed through the borders and paid for their food with one of the prepaid cards they were given,” said Gray. “How is that as a slap in the face as a proud American who worked hard, just like each one of you? And to be affected by the food costs, utility costs, to have someone just come and just willy nilly pay for their food, in my cafe, with prepaid dollars that was funded by us.”

    But Gray, according to federal court records, has received her own prepaid food.

    She has filed for bankruptcy three times in the past decade and reported receiving Food Share benefits in the most recent filing.

    Gray, in an interview, acknowledged receiving the benefits, but said there is a difference: she is a U.S. citizen. “I have worked since I was 16,” said Gray, 45. “I paid into the system.”
