The City with no Direction

9/10/2021
Iv lived here for a LONG time now and things have changed drastically. from the City council doing a crap job and then the people running referendums on their decisions. this alone has cost us at least 8 to 12 years of political movement throughout our city-provided services and laws. the homeless continue to run rampant because the city council won't accept the results from a ballot that rectified their follies. so they drag their heels and as such, we continue to have a homeless issue, not the kind of homeless either it's the ones that touch and urinate in public that are still left behind go figure. Public services have fallen behind other cities. we have an ongoing feud with the governor who keeps us in his POV at all times. the City council is a dog that won't hunt and will continue to get stuck in the mud if they don't listen to the people. I35 and all the non stop construction is 5 years too late once it's been completed making it necessary for more construction they don't plan for where the city will be but where it's currently at. rent is out of control here in Austin a studio runs you 1200 and a 2 bedroom will easily run you 2100 without utilities and fees. The police surprisingly is probably the only service performing its job but only because they are non-stop busy after the city establishes an overwatch committee that is inefficient but scares the officers into overworking themselves as such we have a lot of new blood in every dept in PD. the city is losing its Keep Austin Weird vibe and more importantly its Live Music the entire reason I moved here. everyone complains but no one does anything
