Cause renovating blighted properties and bringing in employed residents who contribute to the tax base is a BAD thing!

Oh, I think this is marvelous! Love to see the lefty groups pitted against each other, and pop the popcorn to see how the trendy set feels about finding drug addicts on their streets and hearing gunfire at night. This should be good.

“We don’t want new high-rises. We want slums. Give back our slums! Where will our gardeners and housekeepers live??”

It’s easy to reverse gentrification in Austin. Appoint Broward County Sheriff Scott J. Israels as Chief of Police for Austin and tell him to implement the same policies which brought him fame in Florida.

Long live MLK Blvd.

It's nice of them to name streets MLK so we know what part of town to avoid, isn't it?

When you see "MLK" on a street map it's like a modern equivalent of the old maps that had the warning "Here There Be Dragons".

I will never live in a city that has an “Institutional Racism and Systemic Inequities Task Force”. The day something like that gets announced is the day the for sale sign goes up.

Would not want to be the homeowner who sunk their money into fixing up a house and taking on a big mortgage in East Austin!
