    It was the coldest January in Austin in 17 years

    This is true for Camp Mabry weather station KATT.  For Austin-Bergstrom International Airport weather station KAUS, January 2015 was technically colder.  587.5 HDD in January 2015 vs 582 HDD in January 2024.

    Question regarding the talk of aid package to Israel. Um, for what? 

    I understand Ukraine having to fight back against a massively larger aggressor. That makes sense to me. Russia has tanks, you better get some weapons to blow up tanks.

    Israel is fighting a much smaller entity and has for decades prepared and known the risk of war on its doorstep. What exactly do they need aid for? 

    This is the thought that keeps coming up when I hear about the House needing to open so it can pass an aid package for Israel.  Uh what is the rush to send them aid?  The Executive has already signaled broad diplomatic support.

    yep. nothing about required  number or vehicle spaces or anything.  these people are morons.  they think renters are going to use the bike lanes or rail and not have one car per person. Idiots, the lot of them.  They aren't solving any problem with this abject stupidity.

    I think you hit 3 spots on the above bingo card with this post.

    That's mentioned in this proposal, although evidently single family can already have two units? I think having a tiny home or garage apt. is a great idea. Having three units on the same lot? That sounds awful.

    I'm zoned SF-2.  As far as I'm aware, I'm limited to 1 unit on the property.  I welcome the proposed change.  For instance, it could be the house, a garage apt/studio, and an ADU that actually has plumbing.  That setup could accommodate an aging parent and a kid in college who needs more privacy than living in the main house.
