TSAMost of the homeless are addicts and the mentally ill, what kind of workforce would that be?

Well of course you love Austin. Not really a surprise.I sure do.
Austin has awesome perks. Food, culture, music, sights and experiences. Good life in general.
I delight in visiting Austin.
Just bought ACL Music Fest tickets. Second weekend.
Will be my 15th year to go to ACL Fest.
It's a "thing" I dearly love to do with my daughter since she was in grade school.
I think I've seen over 1,000 bands there!!!
While you guys are wallowing in your negative sentiments I'll be reveling in music and drinking marvelous beer in Zilker!
Yet again.....my glass is 100% full.

Going to sight in my new ACC 5.56 AR tomorrow afternoon.
I did offer to buy food for panhandlers (in lieu of cash) in Washington, DC, (1993-2001). No one there ever took me up on it.I lived in Austin from 1995 to 2001. Loved it, but even then, the homeless population was sad.
We used to play pool at Buffalo Billiards until late, every Thursday night, and then hit Jack n The Box or Whataburger on Lamar or Congress afterwards. 3 in 4 nights/mornings, somebody would walk up to you when waiting in the drive thru line, and say, "Can you spare a few bucks for some food?"
Every single time that happened, I responded with, "Sure, tell me what you want and I'll order it and take care of it for you." Sometimes I'd add that I'd get something for their friends or their dog, if they had one... In almost 6 years, way more than 100 times, exactly 3 people took me up on it... most simply wanted money for whatever, but not food.
Must be streaming only as I looked for the DVD and could not find it on Netflix.Watched "Seattle is dying" on Netflix, a documentary about their homeless problem.
It was put out by the local news station in Seattle, I posted it when it first came out.Must be streaming only as I looked for the DVD and could not find it on Netflix.
I've lived in Austin since 1991. I moved here from San Francisco. I'm a native Texan and couldn't stand political and social environment in SF any longer. I've been in denial about what's happening in Austin for years. But it really is turning into a mini San Francisco. Maybe it's time to check out Waco.
Don't Californicate TexasMark this date down folks and place your bets. How long will it take Austin to look like LA or San Fran? I'll shoot from the hip and say zero to people pooping on the sidewalk shithole in one year.
My wife, who had never been to 6th street wanted to stop and shop there. I warned her before we stopped. She was in shock at the crazy homeless people and their camps. She doesn't want to ever stop there again lol.
hahahahahahahCoyote Ugly saloon was interesting.
