Has there been a definitive reason for this petition? I haven’t been paying attention and heard a rumor that it really wasn’t about the homeless situation. Something about a future soccer stadium or some such. Again, have not paid a lot of attention to this development in general.

Personal Stance: I don’t care why as long as there’s chance that reckless and greedy Adler & Co are tossed out.

I endorse this. But there won't be any change.   

The cute and benign weirdness thing is in the rearview mirror.  Today, it's all about lunacy.  And it's lunacy that embraced by those downtown.  As we're seeing, nothing innocuous about it.   

But at the end of the day, it's Austin.   Just get used to it.

We made the homepage of the WSJ. Just the kind of publicity Austin needs.

Recall Adler and 5 Council members PAC created.

Any chance this gains steam? Getting 100K signatures against Adler seems like a cake walk.

I'd rather folks just stick to the facts instead of making up some bullshit story about some asshole and his family that came down from new york.

But hey, if it's what's needed to get folks riled up on facebook, so be it.

If you’re holding a whitest name contest “Cord Shiflet” has to be in top 5. 
 

while I dislike the aggressive panhandlers as much as anyone if they indeed kept a bevy of douchebag Yankees out of Austin I may drop handles of rotgut on the streets of DT in gratitude.

Wait til you find out what his son’s name is.

I say good riddance to that one cunt. She sounds terrible and I’m glad my kids won’t run into theirs.

Just wait until people realize that the City of Austin is looking at running Barton Creek right into Barton Springs pool.   May rival the hoopla over their homeless plans.

There would be public hangings of council members from the balcony of the overpriced library before that happens.

And the story about those New Yorkers... I'm ok with that. Sorry you didn't get your millions in commission, bro! The "facts" of the story are obviously bullshit for a number of reasons, but the sentiment is fair. We do spend a lot of money luring companies here. If they aren't coming because of the homeless problem, then we're severely misallocating our funds (duh).

Any idea how one locates said petition? I'd very much like to place my name on it. Sadly, even if they get enough signatures I assume each member will get reelected anyway.

Who recommends Voodoo Donuts as an Austin thing to do?

i've never even heard of voodoo donuts or baked bear and i've lived here for more than 20 years.

just googled baked bear: it's a chain that originated in san fucking diego. get out of here with that shit. did you take them to in and out burgers also, you know, to sell them on austin's character.

That monologue by Cord was about as convincing as the one where he swore to his wife he isn’t gay.  Nothing wrong with being Gay, but lying about real estate interactions is kinda shitty dude.

I never really liked homelessness, but now that I have been credibly told via Facebook that it's keeping multimillionaires, not just run of the mill singular millionaires, from moving here, I am mad!!!!!

There were about 6 of the fuckers just milling around in the west bound turn around at cameron and 290. In the middle of the god damn street! I had to slam on my breaks or I would have run right through them.  I honked, they stared at me then slowly shuffled out of the way. Called 911 to report their asses as soon as I got to a place I could stop. The dispatcher asks, "Are they blocking the street right now?" Told her I didnt know because I GTFO as soon as I had space. "We will send a unit to check it out."

 Hope that camp is gone or on fire when I go home today.

Adler and His $3 million dollar W condo weep for their property values.  Just going to have to raise the rates so we can keep up with affordable housing.

As he said in his recent interview "homeless crisis created, now we need to focus on housing, my wheelhouse"

I stand by my original assertion.   

Except it might not be from the library.   Maybe something higher, like the Austonian.   And from that point, they wouldn't be hung.  They'd be thrown off the top.

Ha. Was thinking the EXACT same thing. Wondering if we have heard the same story.

People is this community love that clown
And he is pandering to his market.

I think he is one of the biggest blow hards (pun intended) I’ve ever met.

Was the story you heard about him the one that goes something like “his choice in pantswear is the least gay thing about him.”??

he’s a nice enough guy the few times I’ve met him.  Does a lot of philanthropy with my wife’s organization.  But that article is bullshit.  The homeless situation won’t be solved by our incompetent and corrupt city council and it won’t be solved by whining multi millionaire realtors botching about dirty people gumming up their deals.

Nah...there’s a lot of money to be made off of ruining Barton Springs too. That’s going to take a lot of equipment and contractor manpower. Adler and Co have already established that they’ll do anything for wealth. There will be plenty of taxpayer dollars for skimming and kickbacks.

Keep in mind that Ohioan Adler is going to get the hell out of Austin proper as soon as he’s out of office. He doesn’t give a flying fuck for Austin outside of the money made from his family’s crookery.
