I'm with Grape Ape. I'd also point out that it is a safety issue -- knock on wood I'm not handicapped, but as we all know, this could change at any time, by a fluke of nature (ask AG Greg Abbott). I...

Exactly! Someone needs to challenge Dahmus' penchant for truthiness -- with the point being (well made, if I may say so myself) that the reality is somewhere in the middle. With that lesson lear...

Using your words, how do you jibe "except a few cases" with "anywhere, at all times"?...

To the same extent that "car-loving" Morrison is "against all density, anywhere, at all times", Dahmus wants to "cede any and all controls on development to the market -- and blindly hope it is done i...

Don't believe everything you read, especially if it comes from Dahmus. Density is here, it's how our city will develop -- the real question is whether we will ensure that it is done properly, so that...

Poor Mike, you just can't pass an opportunity to display your deep bitterness toward Laura Morrison, can you? She's yet to be sworn in and you're already blaming all the world's ills on her. Earthqu...

Simmer down -- no need to get so worked up. Robust debate is what makes Austin a lively place, and we're all better for it. We can agree to disagree without giving in to simplistic name calling. I ...

Just as a point of clarification, MDAHMUS, I heard you had been banished to Dahmustan, a somewhat deary semi-socialist breakaway republic where logic and reason bow to emotion and anecdotal rhetoric, ...

Intersting -- you and Cid Galindo are the only persons who have come to that conclusion. I believe Laura Morrison stated that she supported the concept of a point of sale ordinance, but that many det...

Galindo's mailers are beyond "exaggerations" -- they are out-and-out lies, and if you and other Austinites think this it's appropriate for candidates for public office to treat the electorate with thi...

Poor Cid Galindo -- he's just not ready for prime time. What an embarrassment his campaign has been. Even the Mayor pounded on him today. Sad....

Can you imagine the vitriolic spew that would come from Lou Dobbs and his down-with-brown Republican nativist ilk if this were a Mexican driver and the accident occured on the Texas side of the border...

Go with the HEB. Finally we'll have something downtown for the entire community and not just for the zum zum boutique crowd. ...

That would be the HEB I spoke of above. ...

There's an Albertson's on 183 as well, but if you've lived in Austin for longer than it takes to unpack a U-Haul, you'd know what I mean. The Domain boys wouldn't be subsidizing rents if we weren't s...

Mike, Its troubling to me that you seem to relish knowing the addresses (and square footage) of the homes of folks that you disagree with -- this is the third reference now to either a council candid...

Subsidize a Fresh Plus in one of these new places? Seriously? East Austin went for years without a grocery store, now only has one HEB on 7th, and you want me and other taxpayers to subsidize a Fres...

Agreed. I've known Mark for close to 20 years, and his embrace of Bush gave him (GWB) the much-needed patina of moderation and acceptability when he was just a lightweight governor eyeing the preside...

Damn, ya'll are some hard hearted SOBs. There are many more problems that face this city then whiny ass musicians who -- seriously -- bitch because the noise ordinance contains the highly offensive w...

Ever heard of the San Jose? She doesn't want quiet -- she wants tolerable. Now I understand, based upon your comments -- in your world, being biased gives license to irrational spew. Over & out....
