What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
I was south of the capitol grounds, and would frequent the RR district for lunch. Saw many a homeless person between 11th and 6th (thanks in part to the homeless shelter) and their shenanigans. Lady pooping on the sidewalk in broad daylight (just north of 11th and RR). Shooting up in the alley next to Elysium / Sip Haus. Many of the RFL crew hanging out on Congress running around talking to themselves. I admit, the few times I was north of the capitol, it was much quieter, but south was definitely ripe with homeless and drug addicts.

Looks like Tceh smoked that record. Dividing by zero and whatnot...

To play devil's advocate here: You are drawing employees from all directions, so moving an office any direction helps some, hurts others. Downtown made it equally painful for all parties involved but at least had proximity to the capitol for any leg session trips.

I bet we start seeing more changes in that sooner than later. Teacher Retirement moved their HQ recently away from 10th / 11th and Red River out to the Mueller area, and I bet several other agencies will be doing something similar. Buildings are falling into disrepair, and there's no room for expansion downtown, either due to lot restrictions or sight lines. Moving away from prime real estate brings in more cash when the state sells the facilities and buys cheaper properties away from the city center, and makes it easier on employees that don't want to commute downtown to watch homeless people shoot up and shit on the sidewalks. I say that, but TRS might be one of the more fiscally responsible agencies / entities in the state, so only time will tell.

2025 Thread of the Rains
Or, maybe Zacky S. didn't consider we were just inches over our average annually for the last 150 years prior?

a tradition that dates back decades, but someone pointed out in a tweet it's been done twice back in the 80s. Aggy tradition for ya...

Shit's Borked
Basketball was playing last night, we sure it wasn't Derka having an episode? /s That said, guests being 5x the total members, impressive. You have stats on the IPs? Would be curious if they could be back-traced to given data centers or ASNs. Frankly, we built a blocklist on all our firewalls blocking probably the 20 or so biggest malicious ASNs on the interwebz, and took our failed connections from 100s per minute down to virtually nothing. Now if you have people trying to log in via some North Korean VPN, they might be up a creek...

It's Tulane, isn't it? They're looking for a S&C coach I hear. The fact his abs can hold back that much is impressive.

2025 Thread of the Rains
Shit, I thought we were in the middle of a monsoon last night. 60 MPH winds out of the south along with some decent downpours, beating the hell out of the front of the house for a good 30-45 minutes. Need to assess later today, but we may be down some inflatables.
