There are more, and some of those are pending sale, but there are houses starting in that range. Not all are in sketchy neighborhoods either, just at the outskirts of Austin. Plus, a sketchy neighborhood in Austin is kind of like a nice suburb in a lot of cities.

Not in decent neighborhoods, they don't...actually not at all according to Zillow.
My brother's shithole teardown <1000 sq ft 2 bed 1 bath 75 year old house just sold for over $500000.
Looking at Zillow, the absolute cheapest I see for a house in Austin (not condo, not an empty lot) is $199k for a 780 sq ft "home" over 80 years old. I think prices have gone up since you looked last.

Wow. homes in Austin start around 150k depending on the neighborhood. Of course, we are one of the more expensive places to live now with all the taxes.

I live in Austin, Texas. Unfortunately for my Bahn and Pho addictions, Austin is sort of a high priced area for Vietnamese food. Back in the 90's, you could could get it cheap and plentiful in the few locations that served it; now with the foodies and all the transplants there are tons of places, but they are all expensive.

Houston is still pretty cheap because it is saturated, so when I am down there I can score good, reasonably priced Vietnamese food.

To be fair, while Fox and the right are demonizing Sanctuary cities (I live in one btw), the left is just as off base by claiming that such cities are simply treating illegals like human beings. They are not. The truth, as usual, lies somewhere in the middle.

Letting someone go who has committed an immigration crime is unheard of in many countries. You are actually releasing the people you want to deport out of your country and, in most cases, you are doing it simply to be sympathetic to your voting base (in Austin, extremely liberal).

Not sure if they have it set up like they do elsewhere and the way other companies do it (like Time Warner/Spectrum did here in Austin), but most of these workers will likely be contractors and the only relation to Comcast they will have is the name on the trucks.

The modus operandi was, and maybe still is, issue an apology, fire the specific contractor, and hire another. When these people go to sue Comcast, their lawyers will tell them that the people were not directly employed by Comcast and therefore are culpable separately. Then you get into the whole hassle of trying to track down the contractor, who usually disappears and reappears under a different name.

I remember getting pissed at Time Warner (pre-sellout) because one of their people trespassed on my property and left my gates open. Fortunately my dogs didn't leave, but they could have. He had right of way to cross one gate because their pole is considered part of the 'easement' to the utility company's equipment. The second gate was padlocked and he cut it off because he didn't have a proper ladder to reach the pole, I assume. I called them and they first tried to BS me that the easement covered both gates, but I told them I had the surveyors confirm it didn't when I redid the fence the year before. Then they said that they weren't the direct employer and the guy was a contractor. I asked for info and they gave me his company name only after I complained to a supervisor. His company had a web page, but none of the numbers worked and the 'business address' is basically a knife sharpening shop in central Austin. Time Warner apologized when I called back, but the most they could do was give me a couple of free months service.

As someone who lives in Austin, Tx. I shouldn't laugh at this. But I couldn't help it.

He has a very slim chance now that they have a new Democratic fair haired boy running. His challenger knows jack all about the things they talk about in this video, but he is career polictician and a Dem, which is darn near a shoe-in in Austin.

They did this before as well, electing some idiot because they were a Democrat and not because they knew what they were doing. At least his opponent this time isn't an eco-warrior who is willing to fight to kill most infrastructure plans. She (Karen Huber) is part of the reason we are woefully lacking in a good system to manage the skyrocketing traffic in this city.

I'll get off my high horse now. (Hey, I just thought of a name for you...high horse...Whiinnnney)

I disagree. Police are not supposed to be our masters, we are not supposed to bow and scrape before them in the hopes we don't get sent to the stocks (or worse). Police are simply supposed to enforce the laws that we, as a society, have decided that we all should follow.

The problem is, we have allowed the police to become more than that through our own lack of care and mismanagement. A policeman should have to undergo more rigorous training and background checks, mental and physical, than any other service we provide to ourselves. Instead we pay them about the same as teachers and we let bullies into the system. We also allow people with significant evidence that they should never have positions of authority due to mental issues to become police. We do not rigorously punish the bad cops, nor prevent them from seeking work elsewhere, leading to the same type of thing that led to catholic molesters being shuffled about to molest again.

As far as police fearing others, can we finally say that the number of police fatalities are far less than the the ones inflicted by police? Yes, we have many guns in the USA, but the few times I recall of a police person being killed by one seem to revolve around them experiencing a retaliation style attack when you would least expect it (and not on a call), or when they are alone and on a remote call location. Yet most of these controversial police shootings of suspects seem to happen when they are in a group of officers with weapons drawn, which I would consider far less of a jumpy situation than being alone on a highway. If I am an officer, with multiple other officers nearby, I have weapons on the suspect (taser or otherwise), why am I more worried than if I am alone with a suspect? It simply doesn't make sense.

Finally, referring back to your resisting comment, have we not seen lately that you can still be shot while doing absolutely no resisting? One man was laying on the ground, hands in the air, while telling a mentally ill patient of his not to do anything that would get him shot, and the man on the ground got shot. Here in Austin we had a mentally ill man running naked in the street and he was shot and killed versus being tasered or taken down. The use of force, and the extremity of it, have not been shown to be merited. So if you can be shot and killed for not resisting, or simply not understanding the commands in the short time you are given to do so, what can we do? Should we carry a pair of handcuffs and a taser so we can pre-apply these items and give the cops less to fear?

You can watch drunks do this Friday or Saturday night in Deep Ellum in Dallas or Sixth St in Austin Tx.

yeah, it honestly seems like his depression bubbled to the surface in this interview. Mom has emphysema, lonely and reckless with substances. Austin might be a good move for him.
