Austin owns 8,500 acres of Parkland. One park is 3,500 acres and is only 6 miles from downtown Austin. Another Park, Zilker, is IN downtown Austin. It is 350 acres.
Austin should quit buying hotels it no way can afford and set aside ground in one or more of these parks with appropriate sanitary facilities, electricity and law enforcement patrols. The homeless can pitch their tents and the problem is solved for very little money.
But, the Libs love their parks and will never allow this to happen. The only answer to high Austin taxes then is to MOVE which myself and thousands have.

I heard that real estate prices in Austin have crashed. You can buy a four bedroom house within a mile of downtown for $75,000.
