Without looking will bet a lot of money that mayor of Austin is a Democrat!
You would win that bet. Austin Mayor Steve Adler is a de Blasio wannabe. He is somewhat kept in check by GOP Governor Greg Abbott, but not nearly enough. Abbot has gone somewhat squishy lately, and Adler is always finding ways around Abbott's policies.
They have fought specifically on homelessness, with dueling laws and regulations, but at the moment Adler's desire to unleash the homeless on the city is winning.
Austin, like most state capitols, is controlled by govt employee unions... govt unions should be outlawed, as FDR emphasized. And they launder huge sums back into Demo'rat coffers.
