  1. Looks like she missed work to join a cult in Florida: https://clubforgrowthfoundation.org/fellowship/fellows-2021/ I'm guessing fellowship in the "Club for Growth Foundation" is recruiting young conservative politicians for national coordinated efforts.
  2. I'm impressed she's gone this long in office without a scandal. When she posted that Xmas photo with a lobbyist, I thought she would be toast by summer.

  4. What the hell is https://wallethub.com ?

  6. Oh my god. Then don't cry about a 65+ homestead exemption so I can further support your unincorporated ass. I do enough through my county taxes that build your roads. Why would you want to push your burden from working middle class people instead of people who are making a lot of money whose quality of life won't be as affected? Are you that brainwashed by the GOP that you advocate that much against people you know? Your own family?
  7. Fuck that. If you want tax relief then vote for people that will replace the bulk of our property taxes with income tax. That way instead of shifting the burden of supporting you to the working class, you shift it to the wealthy. What happens when they raise these exceptions is they have to raise the whole tax rate for everyone to compensate. It's such a fucking stupid way to fund a government. I already have to support the rural schools through recapture and the people that live outside the city limits through county taxes that don't ever get invested in Austin.
  8. That's like being the worst team in the NBA and drafting 3 Bryce Drews as a reward.
  9. The best part was the tweet they put out the next morning.
  10. Man, the Conference Semi Finals are going to be full of former Rockets + Morey.

    Moody Center

    Looking at it more closely and Colley is def being demolished. It's literally on top of the Erwin Center complex. You get a better view when you look at it at an angle from the east side of the building. They are not separate buildings. They're more like twin towers on top of the same podium.

    Moody Center

    I don't know about that. Are you just going by the diagram? I remember reading Cooley and Erwin center utilities are not separable. I think it's more likely it's all coming down.
  13. You’ve never seen an actual communist in your fucking life.
  14. It doesn't, that's why the city staff said they didn't want to do it last year so council didn't pursue it. All it does is distract efforts from housing people.
  15. Again, council didn't put together list and it seemed like most of them hated it. They directed city staff to come up with list. City staff first identified city land that wasn't in a flood zone. There are still council criteria that this list has not been checked against. They also haven't reached out to private groups that might be willing to partner. Does Cronk want this to fail? Probably but I'm not sure it's possible to find these perfect spots in the city that aren't going to cause a big stir. City staff still seem very concerned that they won't be able to close these down after they are opened. Still, seemed like Cronk should have said they needed more time to present a list that matches up with council's directives. I mean it's a stupid task anyway. This isn't a good idea but I guess you need to look into it first. Still, Cronk and Staff really made a mess of the item.
  16. Along with a few hundred homes.
  17. Another option is no camps. The city staff was asked about them 2 years ago and they advised council against them. It's just then we send all the homeless out to the woods heading into a very dry year that is going to be good for wild fires. Just cross your fingers.
  18. It's a broad list. Some of them won't work and city staff will keep eliminating ones that don't fit the criteria that council put together. I think they want to settle on 10 total locations. Nothing has been passed here. Council asked about official encampments and that is what city staff is working toward. They are also looking at community owned property that isn't own by the city that could work. TLDR: It's really early.
  19. AISD and the city of Austin are not in any way related per texas State law. They city has 0 to do with education.
  20. Oh how clever. Your totally the first person to make that joke. You’re so clever.
  21. Lol. What a moron. Yea I’m the but hurt one. Keep complaining about rep.
  22. You guys crying about rep points now?
