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.

Just enough time for Eliteserien to swoop in and present a better bid for their first team outside of Norway. I personally can't wait for derby matches against Lillestrøm
Except that city staff can fully evaluate all bids. So the Epstein bid can be seen as the fugazi it really is.

Yeah, that math is patently absurd. It’s almost like COTA knows that a real pro soccer team and an outdoor music venue in the middle of town would be a serious blow to COTA. Serious enough to AstroTurf some local opposition.
In the end, overwhelming positive response from the populace will carry the day.

Newell's Old Boys and Scunthorpe United have always been my two favorite.

This should prob go on another thread but she is almost unbeatable. Has the pseudo liberal NIMBYs, Central auston crowd, ex leg network, and Austin Neighborhood Assn.
Running against her would be a fools game.She and Alter are the worst. And unbeatable in low turnout races like City Council.

Doesn't everyone plan on getting to the airport early so they can have an overpriced beer and watch yoga pants walk by?
That’s how I roll. Why would someone do it any other way?

Fuck the USL.
So what about the other resolution asking for negotiations to begin? What kinda feeling do y'all have re: Flanigan, Kitchen, & Casar? Does either side have the votes they need to get their resolutions through? And of course, y'all know there's suddenly, conveniently, gonna be a competing official proposal for the site, right? After decades of non-use, suddenly someone "wants" it just when PSV wants it. Interesting coincidence.
I think it’s super interesting that Code NEXT and MLS both have 4-4 voting blocs but they aren’t the same.
For both - Adler, Renteria, Garza
For Code NEXT/anti MLS - Troxclair
For MLS/anti Code NEXT - Tovo
For Code NEXT/? MLS - Flannigan, Casar
?? Both - Kitchen
Anti both - Alter, Pool, Houston
I think Casar is good (b/c PSV will deal with Workers Defense Fund which is his base) and ultimately Flannigan is pro-business. Which is good, because we don’t want to leave this in the hands of Surly’s favorite taxi cab advocate.
A mayor with more political will could twist some arms and make both of these deals happen.

Nothing wrong with selling to an investor.
Totally agree.
If your only motivation for taking a position on Code NEXT is to sell to an investor, who is going to maximize their own value, while hiding behind 'community character' to guard against increased density (which serves as competition for you and your investor making as much money as possible), then that's a problem. Or at the very least, it super hypocritical.

Fuuuuuuuck me. Disappointed in Tovo for signing up with the worst among us.

Hmm I live in D7. Is there a suggested message. Should I just call and say hi I wanted you know that this D7 resident is for the stadium at McKalla?
That’s pretty much it. If you want to add that it’s a net positive to the community as a whole, with possibilities way beyond soccer (like concerts),and would create a bunch of jobs, that would be even better.
-
Pool posted a non awful update on the official Council message board. Maybe she’s coming around. If you’re in D7 and up for a call or email to her office, now is the time.

How many posts until NSAA?
in Please do this better?
Posted
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.
