Holly Street neighborhood should not have bitched about Power Plant if they wanted ridiculously cheap lakeside property. Shocking that lakeside property is increasing value. Shocking....

They should give out month long bus passes instead. Both Byrds are on the #3....

Austin's average age is the youngest in Texas. Has the highest proportion of college students to general population of any large Texas city. I"m sure the fact that we are the tech-savviest city and t...

Right. Baum Verde = Green Tree. Anyone have the real stories on these trees? I know the BP developers mentioned they were grafts....

Productivity losses are B.S. It's well documented that taking well timed breaks increases productivity....

And we have good public transport downtown. It's everywhere else that we don't have it. The belief that Austin doesn't have good public transportation is nonsense. It's quite good for the number of s...

They're both pandering on this issue to the fear mongers. I also think this should be mandatory. It's much easier to roll the cost of a new air conditioning into a mortgage than it is to find the cash...

Why isn't Mr. Pretty Hair himself on your poll? Seems like he'd be the top of my "persons of interest" list....

I've got to say. It's pretty rare to see a band outplay the audience. The audience was whipped by the heat in the Austin Music Hall and 3 hours of standing had taken its toll, but the band seemed read...

Huh. I used to work at that Steel Mill. Burned the skin off my ears on the first day because they didn't provide me with the mandatory ear muffs. Glad I didn't stay there....

I've definitely noticed people driving less. There was no one on the roads this past weekend....

You forgot that rich kids also don't go to jail for drug possession. Which makes the illegal part of "illegal drugs" a bit of a misnomer....

I enjoyed the play quite a bit. <theater-geek-digression>But I doubt Mamet would have liked it. This production made his language quite natural, and it's my understanding that he likes it perf...

Oh, the sexual abuse was only by older boys in the FLDS compound? In that case, carry on....

Loaded Gun Theory (my company) had the first show in the space, back when it had no air-conditioning. We'll sorely miss it if it goes....

Free shuttles aren't completely useless. Remember, that pretty much every person a shuttle is one less person on the road. It may see imperceptable, but it's probably a real impact (even if the bus st...

Good grief. Just drive through Travis Heights and you can see how bad McMansion is. Now all the new remodels have weird towers jutting out of the center. Is the character of the neighborhood bell towe...

Man, you guys should re-title this series, "Better Know a Neighborhood Association Sycophant". Are any of the candidates pro-growth? Anyone anti-growth but pragmatic? Are any of them aware of how our...

There's info here: http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/...

Uh. Larger house I can see for the suburbs, but "community pool and barbecues in the cul-de-sac"? Pretty much every community in Austin has their own park with pool and barbecues within walking distan...
