  1. Tax RATE is increasing yearly, while the market is in a correction phase right now. The fact that our appraisals have gone DOWN YoY and the net value of our properties have gone down somewhere around 30-40% from their peak (using Zillow estimates of our property values), all while our annual tax bill has only increased (our Austin property is not homesteaded, so no argument of catching up on that cap) shows you this is patently false. Now take into account for Landlords, many are unable to cover the increased costs of taxes and rising insurance rates because of the increased amounts of rental inventory along with the stagnation of population growth. Renters bitch when their monthly rent goes up 10%, but they don't realize the cost just went up 70% to the owners.
  2. Bullshit. The average Austin voter approves anything put in front of them so long as Casar or Alter or some other moron endorses it first. Project Connect ring a bell? Our taxes are in a rapid ascent in the last decade, and no end in sight.
  3. My only question is why not make concourse B symmetrical? Seems like you could get another 15 gates in there...
  4. Will there be Subway service to the airport?
  5. I'm no botanist, but pretty sure it's Kudzu. It tends to ooze white sap when you pull it, too, which is sticky as hell. Cleaning that crap out of the bushes and off the side of the house is right up there with watching soccer from the bleachers on a 110 degree day.
  6. Can't stand the vines, though! Got that crap all over the front beds, and can't get rid of it. Pull it up 4x / year, and it grows back with a passion.
  7. You sick bastards. Why don't you stick to live ones?
  8. Dealing with a project conjoining two networks. I'm currently getting pushback on putting in an INTERNAL DNS record, and they're asking for a RISK signoff. A 2 week project in month 8 and counting.
  9. Half expected them to zoom out and realize she was crawling sideways and not climbing.
  10. Kevin Marr sporting a mask today!?
  11. They woke up from the nightmare and ran as fast as they could.
  12. Discount Tire doesn't throw screws, come on. They place them strategically in the shoulder of the tire tread so they can't repair it and have to replace it.
  13. So do we need to add a clause to our personal wills to reach out to immamac with a given safe word that would tell him to nuke our footprints on Surly? Is that a paid service that will be offered?
  14. I mean, 15 minutes on 360 4 days a week is enough for me to want to punch a puppy. Dealing with dumb ass rich soccer moms buried in their phones out driving for no damn good reason during rush hour while the rest of us are trying to get home... it's enough to raise the blood pressure 20-30 points. That said, I've got a buddy who commutes from Marble Falls to South Austin DAILY. Guy has WAY more patience than I have.
  15. He did look like he had a 4" grip on a 6" turd.
  16. Did he just get beat with Bob Stoops favorite afternoon snack?!
  17. Yeah, corrected it with CITY population numbers and verified from another source...
  18. Who just forgets to add in Eleanor from Gone in 60 seconds?! Cause I'm writing in that answer. Else, yeah, Bond's Aston Martin.
  19. Bare-backin' a hog means something much different after a night of drinking in Oklahoma. Just ask Vic.
  20. Man, Graham really leaning on that success rate like he knows anything about football...
  21. Again, using Mo Bamba on the PA and bragging about it, are they that dumb?!
  22. Crap, good catch. Google AI has a way of fudging the numbers: City Population Overall Budget Police Budget Per Capita Police Budget Per Capita Total Budget % of Total Budget Austin 984,567 $5,900,000,000.00 $496,000,000.00 $503.77 $5,992.48 8.41% Houston 2,319,119 $6,700,000,000.00 $1,042,871,375.00 $449.68 $2,889.03 15.57% Dallas 1,302,753 $4,630,000,000.00 $654,545,687.00 $502.43 $3,554.01 14.14% San Antonio 1,495,295 $3,700,000,000.00 $570,000,000.00 $381.20 $2,474.43 15.41% El Paso 678,859 $1,318,526,091.00 $205,161,844.00 $302.22 $1,942.27 15.56%
  23. The I wasn't involved in any of his articles, that's a given.
