What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Was a nationwide trend Al JazeeraThe United States homicide rate continues to soar in 2021...'Shock to the system' from COVID, George Floyd protests, rising gun crime, poverty and racism are seen as root causes.Its also pretty astounding that the 2023 murder rate in Houston was higher than anything in the past 45 years in Austin. Law Office of Joseph Ruiz, PLLCHouston, TX Crime Rate and Statistics [2026 Updated]According to statistics from the FBI and Security.org, Houston, Texas, remains the fourth most dangerous city in the United States when it comes to violent crimes.

Good trend line on per capita rate. One of the safest cities in the country. Not to mention that "AuSTiN iS ruINeD!?!" people ignore that Austin today has a lower per capita murder rate, than it was from 1980 - 1996/1997. I believe the 70s were worse, too.

The Italy Thread
Well shit, go skiing just not at one of the resorts tied to the Olympics. Never been to Genova but it has the largest historic centre in Europe. Milano... been a few years... navigli area for restaurants, bars, etc and I'm always a sucker for the Castello Sforzesco. Meanwhile, looks like we will indeed fly in/out of Rome this summer. Just a few days in Rome to visit family and because we haven't been in something like 10 years. Otherwise, we'll then head to the beach. Most likely options are Sperlonga, Gaeta, Numana (other side in Le Marche) or possibly Argentario. Leaning towards Sperlonga or Gaeta depending on what I find. Haven't been in 20 years. If we go, first breakfast there will be a sfogliatella.

Btw, I like the DT view better now. I remember it from 35 years ago. Puny.

I am on the trail frequently... was there yesterday and today. Where are all these tents you are referring to? Is the area devoid of homeless people? No. Overrun? Also no. 35 and Chavez and 6th are quite literally the worst spots so probably not the best example. Today there were people everywhere enjoying a beautiful day. We were watching from the 8th hole of Butler and commenting on how active the area around Zilker was. I guess Pflugerville is calmer if that's more your scene.

Why Can't I Quit You, Austin?
I am an absolute ass golfer and told my son I would walk Butler while he played. Based on the quality golf I'm seeing, I should have played.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Yup. I agree with this. I was thinking about this last night while looking at DT from 35 that downtown is wide but not deep. The Capital is the choke point. BTW, Austin between Christmas and shortly after New Year is so chill.

Citrus Bowl 2025 Game Week Thread
Anyone bellyaching about this game and claiming they don't care and F Texas, etc, etc, etc, can you please do us a favor and just spend your afternoon watching YouTube videos of the Puppy Bowl instead. We'll be fine without y'all. And please start your own belly aching thread and don't pollute everything else. Insufferable

I love downtown Austin now. So much to do. It's really stark when you visit the DT wasteland of Houston.

Ski Season 2025/2026
It's hard to figure out this year but usually Winter Park is reliable. CB has generally been amazing around spring break and is a great mountain. My favorite. Hoping January really ramps up with snow. NM definitely hurting this year. Friends posted pictures from a week ago and I think it was basically the white stripe of death.

Ski Season 2025/2026
We've done Epic Day pass in the past for Crested Butte which normally is a great deal. It's the deadline to decide that sucks, especially when faced with an ass snow year.
