  1. Because they are more susceptible to doing what the loud want as oppose to the many. It's another way that whites in this city are keeping power despite not being a majority of the population. These districts monopolize white political power over what is a much more progressive popular majority in the city.
  2. What are you talking about? This would create an even number of council members as the mayor would transition off council and into the city manager role and we will have a large number of 5-5 impasses. Also, more districts doesn't create more democracy. It's just more opportunities for special interests and neighborhood groups to assert power in council like they do now over the popular majority of the people.
  3. Wow... That's some grade a nonsense. So we should blame everyone equally including the people who voted against it? That makes sense to you? That's logic?
  4. God, you're dumb. They are having an emergency meeting to fix the fuck up they made. It has nothing to do with my personal preference.
  5. Because there is a special provision in the peition that people signed that bans siting or lying down on sidewalks downtown and by UT while camping is banned city wide. Next time read the petition.
  6. Kelly was in a 6-5 vote that created a huge cluster fuck with the may elections. It's hard to explain it all but it's a fucking mess and they are meeting 8pm Friday night to try to fix it but the may charter props are going to be confusing to people and there is a definite possibility we end up with an even number council members. I expected as much from Kitchen, Tovo, Pool, and Kelly but it's disappointing to see Pio and Vanessa joining them.
  7. What's the odds that: NRG implants a prayer before the national anthem next year? They replace the cotton candy guy with a donation plate peddler? All of the videos produced and played are spiritual in nature?
  8. who probably all will go to the same church. mandatory offseason workouts will be like bible camps. Such a joke.
  9. yes.
  10. fixed: ...is this going to get me banned?
  11. They can contribute if they want to. The city has to spend millions to upgrade state highways like S. Lamar, Burnet Rd, N. Lamar, Airport Blvd, MLK/969 etc. It's called an interlocall agreement. If the city can pay to upgrade state roads then the county can pay to help upgrade shit in the city. They choose not to.
  12. Disclaimer *NOT A DOCTOR* But as I understand it: You can get it but you are much less likely to spread it because your immune system immediately starts to fight it instead of dicking around for a few days allowing the virus to replicate in your body and build a viral load.
  13. To be clear, I would say the same if Travis County tried to put in. The counties never spend a dime inside the cities. All they do is funnel our tax dollars to unincorporated projects. If they want a say, they can commit tax money to the solution. If not, keep building rural roads with our money.
  14. Jesus Christ... you guys are something.
  15. It's not a bad spot because it's not a shelter. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/i-won-austinite-exiting-homelessness-after-8-month-stay-at-city-owned-hotel/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=t.co
  16. The new google building has by far more parking but it's better hidden.
  17. Agreed. Hated the rendering but like the building.
  18. It won't. You aren't sick. Your immune system just went full Avengers:Endgame on a harmless protein that it remembers it doesn't like from the 1st shot.
  19. Even conservatives should be able to agree that joking about sexual assault isn't fucking funny.
  20. Who the fuck cares what Wilco thinks. The counties never spend any money in the cities to fix any problem. All they do is take our tax money and spend it in unincorporated territory.
  21. Who the fuck cares what Wilco thinks. The counties never spend any money in the cities to fix any problem. All they do is take out tax money and spend it in unincorporated territory.
  22. Can we merge this with the offseason Texans thread? Seems pointless to have both.
