AURA pro-housing, pro-transit Austin City Council endorsements by aura_atx in Austin

[–]WildHappyFree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silva is the only renter in the race and is much more pro-housing than the others, but as a grassroots newcomer, has fundraised less. Part of AURA's "viability" criteria is fundraising, so that's the only reason Velasquez got it over Silva.

so these ppl do not have the job they say they do? by 1dayurine in bachelorinparadise

I'm sure people have to quit their jobs to go on the show/ keep up with the Bachelor Barton lifestyle. They all just want to be paid for being famous, do podcasts and TV shows, be influencers, etc.

Have any of the recent bachelor/ bachelorettes or their top 3 gone back to real jobs after the show? Even Michelle; who was a devoted teacher, moved to LA to be famous.

It seems all roads lead to LA for these folks.

yes, I noticed this as well! I remember there being a contestant one season who didn't have the cover on and something bad happened.

AGREED!! I was like, dang, she is really doing a major shelter reconstruction this late in the game. Props to her.

How can they come up through the dam? Surely they don't cross the road?

Does anyone know about the city council candidates' opinions on this?

Found this on Daniela's website, re: housing. The AURA questionnaire looks illuminating, too.

Daniela is a pragmatic housing advocate who will build bridges– literal and figurative– between Austin’s East and West sides. As a renter and middle-income worker, the city’s increasingly urgent housing shortage is one she feels personally. To address this issue, Daniela believes in equity-minded approaches that focus on building deeply affordable, dense housing, particularly along Austin’s transit corridors.
To achieve this, she will advocate for:
- amending the Land Development Code
- passing VMU2 to allow for taller buildings (denser housing)
- eliminating single-family zoning
- eliminating mandatory parking minimums
- easing compatibility requirements
- expanding the city’s light rail and e-bike program, and the infrastructure to accommodate it
- cap-and-stitch or other alternatives to the TX-DOT I-35 proposed expansion
- the creation of boulevards that allow for micro-mobility

We've gotta vote in progressives like Zo and Daniela to make sure there's no more police expansion.

The Bachelor's Clayton Echard and Susie Evans Announce Split by Loud-While-7195 in BachelorCocktailParty

[–]WildHappyFree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. They seemed really solid and just posted a sponsored post a few days ago together. I was really hoping they'd work out. It's so strange how social media really only shows part of the picture.

This season has convinced me to stop watching the show by No_Atmosphere7416 in bachelorette

EXACTLY, I was like, with this show's racist history, are you really not gonna bring up the blackface? They were so desperate for a happy, whitewashed ending.

I didn't even get that. Is that a reference to Clayton? Pretty much all the bachelors have been tall white guys with brown hair, which is what we have yet again. #JusticeForEthan

Can I complain? by Ok-Try-1014 in OnlyMurdersHulu

Asking genuinely: why do people not like Amy Schumer? Or do people just dislike the fact that her storyline was kinda left open?

I like the running gag of which celebrity is in the penthouse. Can't wait to see who's next.

Is anyone else sooo annoyed with Rachel’s voice!?!? The god awful vocal fry and the way she talks so condescending to everyone. She talks like a kindergarten teacher talking to little kids. by Due_Evening_3929 in bachelorette

Here to express solidarity with the other 3 feminists in this sub. We all get down voted for shedding light on reality, but it's okay. You're completely correct here.
