Austin used to be ranked the number 1 city to live in US

Driving through Austin is like swimming in a latrine. You keep asking yourself how am I going to get this shit off of myself. I do my dammdest to avoid the place even when it takes an extra hour or so to go around it. It's like being in Downtown Los Angeles you just wanna get the FK outa there! Then as you're driving you start thinking WTF are those people so infatuated by?

Too bad that the Mayor again cut off the assistance from the DPS over a lie from a Third-grader about where a trooper pointed his gun. Body Camera video shows the cop following the procedure, pointing the gun down. The kid lied, so the DPS is out. What is soo evident is that to the Mayor, politics is more important than the safety and security of the city. There is even a suspected serial killer near lady bird lake, but no police patrols.

Abbott said the DPS will continue to patrol the City of Austin.
In fact the Governor said he will bring in 30 additional troopers to supplement the 100 already there.

Watson and the city council can‘t do diddly about that.

Democrats. Nothing more to say.

I Still await some enterprising law students' class action lawsuit against the DNC for the tremendous harm they have Done to the citizens of this nation.

Not being fair to the Beijing residents...
I call it "San Francisco on the Colorado".

In china, the drug dealers are shot.

I stand corrected!

Austin is becoming San Francisco. First, defund the police. Second, enable homeless encampments. Three, rebel against citizens' efforts to restore the police department. Four, a spike in violent crime.
