Cooking food I would think, and meth of course.

I realize hindsight is 20/20, but perhaps building a gigantic homeless shelter in the middle of downtown Austin wasn't the greatest idea ever.

You really believe they are looking for a way out of this issue?
Don't you even grift bro?
COA no more wants to solve the homeless issue than they want to improve traffic flow in ATX.  Ain't no cash in the cure baby!  1:23 mark is chillingly dead on...
 


The fact that there are people out there in this day and age that don’t understand this is somewhat perplexing.

who puts up a statue of a grackle ?

The city of Austin, of course. So a deranged homeless man can then come along and burn it to the ground.

Hopefully the grackle statue is to be replaced by a statue of a homeless dude depicting the burning down of the grackle statue, that costs about 100k to commission.

This the way of the city of Austin and the circle of life.

AUSTIN, Texas — Editor's note: The video above was published in November.

Austin police are investigating after a man allegedly shot a customer from outside a restaurant on Super Tuesday.

The shooting took place at 9717 N. Lamar Blvd., which is a shopping center, just before 10 p.m. Tuesday night.

According to an Austin police report obtained by KVUE, an officer responded to a call about a shooting after a witness reported a restaurant manager "ran off a homeless person" who was urinating outside at the back of the restaurant.

Poor Adler's gonna have to break out the beret again...

In another forum some cat claimed it more likely that the homeless guy disarmed the restaurant manager and then shot him with his own gun...because the homeless generally don’t have access to guns.

Insanity.

Just like they don’t have access to alcohol or drugs... generally.

I wasn’t sure where to put this but was curious if anyone heard any more on this one. Since coverage of this was minimal, I assumed it was a homeless person.

Not a lot of homeless in that area.

 

And wtf is this.

I have no idea if that incident involved the homeless, but there are more homeless in that area than you think.  The space behind the Randall's at Mesa and Spicewood is a den in the early stages of looking like the beast that caught on fire on the east side.

Crazy.  There's an old folks home right behind that.  Can't imagine I would be too pleased if Nana were on the doorstep of a homeless camp.

Yep.  If the old folks look over the fence on the east side of their property . . . surprise!   It's not as bad as other areas of town, for sure, but NW Austin isn't immune to the issue.  The woods out here are filled with camps, and have been for many years.  Recent events have led, seemingly, to more homeless existing out in the open in this area.

Mayor better do some rain dances this summer because some of these camps are a few weeks of drought away from going up in flames.

That's actually a very good point. Shit will really hit the fan if/when green spaces and houses start going up in flames from the homeless having bbq and meth cookouts.

That video needs to go to TCEQ, Governor, State Reps, news channels, etc.  

Fuck Adler and his minions.

Nothing to see here, just longtime Austinites having a bit of bad luck.

Just wait until he steps into his cushy job at the LCRA and opens up the Highland Lakes to his garbage.

Forget the theft, vandalism, drug use, fire hazard, etc.  You would think polluting the watershed would send up the green bat signal for the COA bureaucrats to unleash great vengeance and furious anger on those who would attempt to poison the salamanders.  Guess not. 

Now, if they start polluting the bike lanes, just wait a goddamn minute, mister, we have a problem.

I remember when the only thing you needed to worry about being present  in our creeks and Town Lake was the Chlordane.  Because of it my parents strongly discouraged me from eating any fish from Barton Creek or Town Lake.  Now you have to worry about hobo gravy too?  I'll have to tell my youngest to quit opening his eyes underwater when he swims in the creek.

Well there’s trickle down in action.  A rising ties floats all turds into out creeks.   Maybe we shouldn’t have shut down all the mental facilities.  All these people aren’t just going to magically disappear.

I agree. 

Would it be possible to convince the "professional rioters" aka BLM protestors that those are the Alt-Right version of CHAZ camps in Austin?

No idea, other than endless complaining and gnashing of teeth isn’t going to fix the problem.   It’s easy to say that places who, however misguided, try to help are magnets for the homeless, but if every city in the country started being tough on vagrants and what have you, all these people aren’t going to magically evaporate.  I don’t have a solution, sorry.

Expand mental health institutions and staff them with competent therapists. Make it easier to adjudicate involuntary commitment.
For the lazy bums, no camping anywhere in public nor “back in the woods”. But give them  the opportunity to move designated campgrounds overseen by city & county. Giving them free hotel rooms & apartments is not the wayto go. If they refuse, then either a work camp or gtfo.

For real all our green belts and creeks are fucked.

 

 

Well personally I’d like to see zoning that would allow us to recreate community first village in the city limits. 
 

There’s plenty of money for it. but nobody wants that except people who care.
