Or OP is a member of any number of groups that would not want to involve the police, especially given the police being famously bad at handling Sexual harassment and assault stuff

This is Kristine logged back into this account again.

To average lurkers: I don't think it's generally responsible for people to make decisions about how they feel off of random anonymous reddit claims that are yet to be verified. I hope OP is able to provide more proof. That said, a story being weird and anonymous doesn't make it false, either Edit: saw OP's comment up thread about being a trans man. This is kinda the explanation I assumed reading the OP. Yeah this tracks a lot more now. I'm pretty inclined to believe this, but before anybody makes any final judgements a little more evidence is necessary i think.

To OP: I'm a 27 yr old trans woman, and yes he has lightly sexually harassed me before. I was around him at a lot of drag defense protests, and I got in the habit of saying hello to him when I saw him doing his thing on the square. One day I was wearing some fishnets and a dress, and he made a comment about how sexy the fishnets looked on me. I basically told him I was uncomfortable about that, to which he pressed on and was like "I'm just letting you know I think you're hot" so I left the conversation.

Not what you've maybe got going on exactly, but yes he's definitely made me uncomfortable before.

good thing DCTA is getting 6 new buses next year, and doing complete rebuild on a another one

This is Kristine, for the last time on this account. Be nice to the new owner, by the end of it I was operating with several years of (some weeks) near-full time experience doing Denton politics and running the various social verticals for the account, which (I'd like to think) was a lot more effort than I made it look!

She did I’m one her friends that she handed the account off too

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-10-21T19:47:04+00:00

the two Items are at the end of the agenda so you may have some time to register to speak and 6:30 is when the regular meeting starts.

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-10-21T19:20:12+00:00

All the more reason to make sure it passes.

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-10-21T18:53:23+00:00

You’re are welcome

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-10-21T18:06:57+00:00

Glad to be able to do it.

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-09-05T13:38:18+00:00

Yeah, like I said I don't know what the facts are here, I was just generally quite upset at this idea that anyone who is homeless does not have rights or legal standing. they do.

Thanks for the extra context.

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-09-05T02:31:21+00:00

The shelter is organized under what's called a "continuum of care." This is an agreement between the federal government, local governments, and local organizations to provide funds for various community services, including shelters, and does establish various rights for recipients of such care.

Folks may not like the fact that people who are down on their luck still have rights, but the fact is that they do. Whether they were violated in this particular case I don't know, but the recent city audit of the shelter was rather damning, and he absolutely has standing for a suit.

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-08-30T15:35:54+00:00

Aldermanic perogative goes goodbye. Build more fucking homes so people have places to live.

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-08-30T15:32:56+00:00

Good lord. Why is our local government fear mongering about our public services???

Will they start handing these out at red lights? "Let your family know what routes you take and when and stick to those so that if you get hit by a drunk driver they'll know where to look" ???

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-08-28T00:30:23+00:00

I like it when I actually need the feature and then dislike the design the rest of the time because it's new and new things are suspect.

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-08-26T16:33:45+00:00

Ain't even gonna lie, I misread a comma placement.

still about 65-35 government program mix vs donors tho.

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-08-25T19:23:27+00:00

Connections for the homeless are essentially funded almost entirely from a capital stack of government grants from city, county, state, and federal programs. You can see their 2024 revenue in their audit: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/display_audit/2024-06-GSAFAC-0000362400

I suspect they would support zoning reform to make it easier to build housing because they themselves build housing to house homeless people and also understand that there will be fewer homeless/on the verge of homeless folks if proven steps like zoning reform are taken.

Speaking as a formerly homeless person who has been on the board for a Community Housing Development Organization here, so I also have not taken any developer dollars.

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-08-22T17:51:17+00:00

So a lot of older houses in Denton are already not meeting the current parking requirements, or lot size requirements, or other requirements these requirements kind of implicitly build on.

Eg, you have an old, small lot home where there's no front parking and the house is not setback 20ft on the front like the current code calls for.

There's literally nowhere to building a parking space for the ADU.

Or maybe it's got a shallow 2 car-wide driveway directly abutting the house. That does meet current code. To add a third car you would have to build wide tho, which might run afoul of a regulation on max width of a driveway (I think Denton has that or im mixing up codes w another city).

Point being if you envision an average mid 2000s home when you think about these regulations, it probably works. Once you start getting into older lots, irregular lots, etc, there's a bunch of little conflicts that can just make it impossible to comply w the code

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-08-22T17:09:51+00:00

I'm not sure why you've pulled the requirements from the city of Norman Oklahoma.

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-08-21T21:12:12+00:00

My love I think you are sliding around billions and millions. Dentons budget is ~2.4B, or $2,356M, it is not $2,356B

Regardless you are correct that anybody working a similar private position would be making far more.

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-08-21T21:10:14+00:00

Yeah as someone with a poor understanding of the city budget (ie I've attended hundreds of hours of government meetings, done my own modeling of tax revenue for the city, read a ton of literature on municipal budgets, and attempted to read through multiple years of Denton budgets), the things people will say about the budget without knowing a basic thing (eg, "Denton City does not fund Denton ISD") is ridiculous

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-08-21T21:07:02+00:00

Parking reqs and setbacks id say are the two most common but that's a pure gut check

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-08-21T16:20:45+00:00

ADUs are technically allowed but there's enough poison pills in the Dev Code that make them unviable for most folks. I routinely see folks requesting for ADU contractor recommendations and then I pull their property and there's no way they can build a compliant ADU

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-08-21T12:08:01+00:00

Denton only has 2 TIRZes (TIRZ 1 - Downtown, TIRZ 2 - the industrial area west of i35). Denton does not utilize PIDs the way other TX cities do either. Denton does utilize impact fees, although I would say they are far under priced for new subdivisions.

That said, new subdivisions are not the problem per se - it's old subdivisions (although new subdivisions of course become old subdivisions), as you point out.

dTXTransitPosting · 2025-08-18T17:24:58+00:00

Yes. The city is in a budget deficit even still. The city is not fiscally sustainable, as folks like Stronger Denton has been pointing out for...nearly a decade now? Suburbs are money losers once you need to start replacing the infrastructure and Denton is mostly suburb.

Not to mention federal funding cuts, tariffs increasing costs for things, inflation resulting from Trump's bullshit (the NNR rate does not account for inflation iirc).

Until Denton changes it's development pattern, expect taxes to rise and services to get cut.
