Abbot's ultimatum to Adler

[Mohawk600]

Gov. Abbot says if the homeless situation in Austin is not dealt with by Nov. 1, he will unleash the power of every state agency to deal with it. Adler pussed out and said he doesn't see it as a threat to the city and "welcomes" the help.

I simply cannot believe, despite the liberal state of Austin, that people here are so stupid as to vote for Steve Adler.

my only comment is good job Abbot and lets hope he follows through

And what is Abbot going to do about it?

Exactly. It's really a sign of social decay. They are homeless for their own reasons.
At best a few can be locked up. The rest will be chased out to other areas.

I say leave them in Austin.

Wrong

Wrong

So what do you think abbot can do about the homeless situation? I'm open minded. I've just never heard or have seen any good options that work.

Serious be realistic, I'd love to hear a plan.

Its a trap.
Commie mayor will not do anything.
Abbott's guys come in and chase the bums off.
Commie mayor and press will attack Abbott as Wheelchair Man Bad.

Give them all a ticket to LA.

OTOH........Community First by Loaves and Fishes seems to be having some success.

I expect City of Austin wants money. I expect the Abbot won’t provide it.

Abbot could declare a public health emergency and clean stuff up, but homelessness, both politically and socially, is and has been acceptable to the city for so long that it won’t go away.

I recall when Leslie came to town and the public outrage at his antics was met with typical Austin ‘celebrate weird’ mindset of the council.

Maybe a trail of natty ice tall cans that lead to Oklahoma??? I know I said be serious.

Quick read and it looks like it's on the up and up. Who pays for it?

I've done some repair work in city housing to get homeless off the streets in downtown LA. It's a scary place to be. It's just off skid row.
Public housing authority might have been the name of the city department.

Drugs, crime, violence. Entitlement.

If Abbott was smart he would build extra free shit homeless camps right in front of the mayors house and all city council members homes.
DPS could hand out drugs confiscated for court case evidence that are no longer needed there.
Free beer on Saturday and Wednesday.

I road by Austin once about 10 years ago I didn't know it became a mini LA. I heard it was a nice city once now it is just another haven for the libs. Doesn't this remind anybody of Steinbeck's the "Grapes of Wrath" I mean instead of Hoovervilles they have the LA, San Fran, Baltimore and most of the Democrap run cities. Maybe we can call the obamavilles etc. At least the people in the book were trying to work during the depression. Now it seems like the majority are strung out dope addicts etc. How can you help people that don't care to help themselves anymore. It's seems like that is going to be what happens to the country if they ever get back in power, and if the republicans don't feel like habitual losers and that is their place in politics.

I’m opposed to any state money being spent to clean up Austin. If anything we should make it the state landfill.

We moved from WA last year. It's a liberal phenomenon:

Enforce the law. In many instances, even though there might not be a municipal ordinance covering things (or the city chooses not to have such ordinances), there are plenty of state laws to crack down on the criminal activity among the homeless. Call me a heartless son of a bîtch if you wish; however, being homeless does not give one the golden ticket to break the law.
