Texas BBQ
I think that the finished product yields (raw vs. trimmed vs. sliceable meat) are pretty bad when it is cooked correctly and fully rendered the way that good brisket joints do it these days.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
A good choice if you are willing to go with a "heads I win -- tails you lose" approach. I think it takes away most of the upside of home ownership and wealth creation. You may as well be renting your home, IMHO. I also think we are due for a real correction in rental rates and property values once all of the new MF projects come on line. People are focused on Austin proper (that is certainly a big number of units), but there are so many projects in process all the way from Jarrell to Lockhart, Georgetown to Cedar Park, Buda to New Braunfels, Bee Cave to Marble Falls. I don't see how all of this new product doesn't disrupt the market in a big way.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
The downside of the Mueller affordable housing is that you don't fully own your own home. If you sell "your" home in the first year, 100% of the profit goes back to the Affordable Home Program. If you sell "your" home in subsequent years, your realized profit is limited to 2% (simple interest) for each year of ownership, the rest of the profit goes back to the Affordable Home Program. Given the current inflation environment, that sounds like a money losing deal. Might be a good move to wait for the bloodbath of rent decreases when the current deluge of new apartment construction fully hits the market.

Turbo Tax can EABOD
I've been a CPA for over 40 years. The tax code was still very complicated back when we prepared tax returns by hand in pencil. The tax software (both the professional stuff that accounting firms use and the retail stuff like TurboTax) has made it much easier to prepare returns and to deal with complex stuff like Alternative Minimum Tax, Qualified Business Income deductions, Self Employment tax, operating or capital loss carryforwards, depreciation, etc. The free filing approach may be fine for many W-2 folks that don't have any deductions, rental properties, or other business interests. But high net worth business owners (like all the Surly lawyers) that have pass-through partnership income, different business interests, complex investments, and such are never gonna be interested in just trusting the IRS to tell them what they owe.

Tex Mex
Never heard of that place, but menu looks solid. Most any place in Austin that has Menudo on their every day menu is on my golden list. Thanks.

ABQ is a bit rough, but not without redeeming qualities, namely Sadie's on 4th Street. I've been going there since back in the Valley Bowling Alley days.- RIP Walt Garrison
Don Meredith speaking about Walt Garrison’s dependability, “If it was third down, and you needed four yards, if you’d get the ball to Walt Garrison, he’d get you five. And if it was third down and you needed twenty yards, if you’d get the ball to Walt Garrison, by God, he’d get you five.'” RIP, Walt.- Austin love triangle murder
