Study: There are now more dogs than children in east Austin

The Institute for Urban Policy Research Analysis at the University of Texas at Austin found dogs now outnumber children in east Austin nearly two to one, a statistic they say is a signifier that gentrification is alive and well there...The researchers noted that between 2000-2010, the neighborhood's black population decreased by 60 percent, its Latino population decreased by 33 percent and its white population increased by 442 percent.They reported that Austin was the only fast-growing major city in the U.S. to show a decline in African Americans between 2000 and 2010. The research, which was published this spring, documented a trend of longtime east Austin families and communities of color being pushed out of the area... 76 percent of the homes in the east Austin neighborhood bloc they surveyed were without children... Jasper said she couldn't afford to live in east Austin on her own and moved to Pflugerville. She more recently moved back to the neighborhood so that she could care for her grandparents and says she can only afford to live there because her grandparents already own the home.

The reason for gentrification is the outrageous housing costs and property taxes in and around (100 mile commuter radius) Austin. Don't blame whitey for buying homes in the black/hispanic/illegal part of the city as it's the only place they can afford. The city, despite it's grumblings, is thrilled because those houses are being renovated which will bring in even more property tax $$$$$$$$$$$$.

Our property tax has gone up 900% over the past 20 years. Excuse me, but my income hasn't gone up that much and has gone down since retirement. Who can afford that?

As to the title of “more dogs than humans”:

“Logic dictates, if 1 coupling of dogs produces up to 6 puppies (aggregate average), and said dogs are “in season” twice in a 365 day cycle, whereas a coupling of humans, (when the conditions are right), produces 1 baby in 270 days, that in a measured 365 day period of time, the humans are outnumbered 11 to 3, so yes, there WOULD be more dogs than humans.”

Hard to believe people just keep taking this punitive BS. They'll eventually run out of patient people.

Blacks move into a white neighborhood, whites move out: whites are moving out because they are racists

Whites move into a black neighborhood, blacks move out: whites are forcing blacks out of their homes

I was thinking of old ladies.

I have a childless yuppie friend from Brazil who came to visit. We went to Pet’s R Us and he bought $500 worth of stuff for his dog to take home. So, yes

It wouldn’t be so bad is Liberalism was just a benign disease where it would just prevent liberals from reproducing, but they are cancerous and must spread their madness to new hosts to prevent their virulent mental virus from burning itself out...

Btw, it's the leftist infiltrating government at all levels who want higher and higher taxes, to pad their incomes, their gold plated retirements, etc.

Most of it is not increased rates, but increased property values.

The house is worth more, but they still have to gripe about something.

my taxes went up $600 this year mostly to pay the teachers more, poor dears work so hard,yeah right...

the dog/people situation however, is indicative of the great paganism that is destroying us...

dogs more important than children...

pets more important than humans...

if whitey had a few more children, we wouldn't be having this onslaught of illegals because we would remain the majority for centuries...

but pets are easier...

Well, with any luck, the dogs won’t spread the madness.

Btw, if my property taxes had gone up about 900% in 20 years, there is no way I could afford to live in that environment. No way.

The important thing to the Fake News Media is to always portray Whites as dehumanized villains.
