Yup, hell has frozen over in Austin. It only took them 600 million over 4 years to figure it out.

There is no "fix" to the homeless crisis - at least not in the way they think. The homeless crisis isn't a failure in itself - it is a symptom resulting from numerous other failures.
Substance abuse is condoned and even celebrated. Mental illness is normalized and forced treatment is considered taboo. The welfare saftey net encourages and enables being unproductive. There is no longer a stigma associated with not working hard and supporting your family. Sexual deviance is normalized and celebrated. A mass increase in homelessness and degeneracy is the predictable result of these conditions. |

HE still does not want the camping ban and now that the end is near for the nonprofit gravy train he's still trying to come up with another scam. |

You mean he admits this after the second petition drive to restore the ban on public camping? You mean after the city pulled a fast one and declared the first petition drive null and void?
Did he make this pronouncement from Cabo like he did when he told the rest of us to stay in our homes because of Covid? He's a f**king left wing weasel. |

Was there last week and they had entire villages set up at underpasses, with trash everywhere.
Some had port-o-cans that they had dragged over, and one even had a bookshelf with books, and a wood dining table with chairs ! |

And yet, they ( tech firms ) keep coming.
Digital Realty, reported ZDNet and CultureMap Austin, is the latest tech firm to announce its headquarters' relocation to the tech capital of Texas. The company, which markets itself as a company that supports businesses with "data center, colocation and interconnection strategies," employs around 1,500 people worldwide. The company's CEO, William Stein, singled out the city's "central location, affordable cost of living, highly educated workforce and supportive business climate" as key reasons for the big move. It also boasted 20 percent of its workforce already residing in Texas. |

City Council wants to spread the misery around town even more. We have plenty of overpasses occupied in District 6, but now they want to purchase the newer hotel next to Frida's Seafood Grill to house the homeless. I think friends of departing Jimmy "rump rider" Flannigan are paying us back for the election.

Quote HistoryQuoted: @Swingset Always value your opinion It's pretty crazy living here. Subnet visited last week and got an eye-full of the Austin homeless scourge. We talked a lot about it, and I think we both came away saying that the left is insanely cruel in their treatment of the homeless...they're so afraid of tough love, real measures, addressing this where it actually starts that they pretend coddling and enabling is the same as caring. But, you watch mental people literally living their personal hells on the streets, or opportunists begging at literally every corner, and tent cities of addicts and people living like feral animals, and it's pretty clear that the Dems just see these people as political creatures that they can use for sympathy and programs, with zero interest in ever really addressing. This story is a great example. This motherfucker put in place all the policies that are making the problem worse, but his answer is more tail chasing, programs, and taxpayer sink holes. He can't avoid that the problem is out of control, but his answer is to double down on what made it. And, his voters are too stupid and thoughtless to remove him for creating and worsening the issue. It's hard to live here and look at it, very hard. I'm becoming numb to it, and that's awful. People should never be numb to seeing this shit. It's infuriating and heartbreaking, 99% of these people should be in a home somewhere being treated for what's happened to them, but they've become an infestation of sub-humans that the left cheers on and builds wash stations and waste receptacles for, or travel programs to push them around from city to city. |

When I was working in OKC a few years ago The Daily Oklahoman had a big story I read about the influx of homeless in the area. They interviewed several, they were given a few hundred bucks and a greyhound to gtfo. |

Been here almost 30 years. Loved Austin until about 10 years ago. The homeless has greatly accelerated in the past 3 years and has reached epidemic levels. Swingset summed it up pretty well. The left really is cruel to encourage this level of human destruction.

The homeless have a bunch of political power. Not the homeless themselves, but the wealthy liberals who support them. Public works, cops and clean up crews are often stopped in their tracks by social justice warriors.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Bus them to the New Mexico border. There. No more homeless in your city. You know how they get to Austin? A lot of times it's by bus from Denver, San Diego, etc. My GF is a nurse and has spoken with a lot of homeless, and they tell her how they get from city to city. Someone in San Diego asks them where they want to go, and will even suggest "homeless friendly" destinations. It's a fucking merry-go-round. Until you make Austin a no-go zone, with zero-tolerance vagrancy and few accommodations for the homeless, they're here to stay and other cities will make sure of it. Now, it's not just "hard" homeless (like mentally ill people), it's vagrants, travelers, nomads....young people and such. Look under Ben White near Montopolis. They have cars, trucks, trailers, with decent gear. One dude has a solar setup, out there charging his gear every day when I drive by. They come here and stay for a while, move on. Not really tragic homeless in all spots, some of them are just making use of free lodging, port-o-johns and close proximity to stores/food. |
