The problem with this mayor, sadly, is that he’d rather be on the losing end of a 7-4 vote than prevail 6-5.
I’m not planning to get into COA stuff on surly the way I did on shag, but we’ve got a leadership vacuum and mistakes of inaction are being made in this period that will have negative consequences that cannot be undone. There was a window for this city to adapt more or less comfortably to our own growth. It stayed open for a long time. It’s closing soon.
Agree on the leadership vacuum, wholeheartedly. I know some in the business community pulled support from Adler after he rolled over on sick leave, but are grudgingly back in the game because of his opponent.
The only good thing I can say about this is that the money we spent on Code NEXT was a sunk cost. We were moving very quickly toward a land development outcome that would have cost the city far more. I hold some outside hope that we can rethink the process and come up with something better. It’s also quite possible that we can come up with something better in D1 after November.

Welp, if we wanna make sure the MLS team gets the lowest possible attendance, we could always put it way the fuck out in BFE, at COTA. I knew this shit was coming.
Capella proposes McKalla Place partnership with PSV or putting MLS stadium at F1 track https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2018/07/31/capella-proposes-mckalla-place-partnership-with.html
Technically MLS @ F1 is their first option. Which is the stupidest option. And, would keep the team from moving here. Also no idea why PSV would want to work with the group trying to cockblock them.

Having said that I think if it ever gets put up to a vote the voters will approve it. Not sure what’s going on here but I bet it somehow involved COTA and its backers.
Adler v Morrison, CodeNEXT and soccer would be one hell of a trifecta election for the forces of good vs evil in November.

Those guys suck and I hope they fail. I’m still dubious that they ever get off the ground.

Hello, exactly.

Wait, is this 50 post to NSAA real? Because I feel like I have a lot more than that and no NSAA. But I'm also not good at reading directions.

What exactly is considered petty theft??
I believe it’s a Tom Petty cover band in Dallas featuring some local radio personalities.

This is not good. No business is ever going to get done in this city with another tree hugger on the dais.

Posted about this guy in the soccer thread, but he has a solid platform of:
- Building a dome over the city to keep Californians out
- Giving APD flamethrowers
I’m normally pretty Bernardy when it comes to police issues, but if our civil rights are going to be violated, it should be in spectacular fashion.

I was pretty pissed that in order to show support for 130, I had to also support 60, even in its altered form. What a crock of shit. Now there's no differentiation and the opposition, such as it is, can claim that support as well.
83% of testimony in favor, which mirrors the last poll PSV did. City folks I know seem to think we were good.
When did you register? I was there from 5 pm on, except for a couple hours in the bar at the W with a couple other MLS 2 supporters, an insurance agent buddy, city lobbyists, a local TV personality, and the pedicab driver guy who's running on a platform of putting a dome over the city to keep Californians out and also giving APD flame throwers. He testified against it, but that guy is crazy enough that I love him.
Looks like he tweeted this right after we left.
