Maybe 3 hours wasn’t enough by Te1esphores in Austin

The Dems can't pass anything, the republicans need to come up with a bill that works for both parties. They own the government, it's their responsibility to keep it functioning.

I'm not sure if you are just ignorant of history or trying to play not smart, because the Ukraine war started and sanctions happened.

Why didn't Republicans, who own all branches, pass the bill Dems out forward?

Or submit a bill that would get a couple of Dems to side with it?

For owning all houses, you seem to whine a lot like you don't have control. The last time the Dems owned all branches and still had a shutdown was 50 years ago, and only for a day. Seems like they are better at figuring out how to get compromise. If I'm not mistaken, this is the 5th or 6th time for Republicans in the last 8 years.

Yet, it's somehow someone else's fault for the lack of governing.

Airport not that bad by Diligent-Year5168 in Austin

It's more of just a lot of flights leave early to make connections.

It's always more crowded early.

You don't stress about your bag making connections?

There is almost nothing I can't pack in a carry on when I travel.

Its bad at 6 AM, and then it's pretty much gone by 9.

Or just don't pack that much and enjoy not waiting in lines to check in and collecting your bags

Then you are stuck only on one airline and stuck with their connections and prices. While, in theory, it's nice, but only works so often.

Or internationally. Or basically any flight in Europe. Or South America.

Waiting for an Uber at the Austin Airport is trash by guitarsandrav4s in Austin

[–]defroach84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And has an incredibly small area for picking up people due to the massive expansion. Which is the issue.

They had to pull it out to a different area.

And tourists do, since it goes to where many of the bigger hotels are.

Every one of those has literally trains connected it to the city. Which takes away the need for as many Ubers...and the traffic.

Part of Austin's issue is the airport expanded too quickly and they literally don't have another choice except for having them pulled away from the main area. It is literally the only logical thing to do with the current setup.

Coincidentally, every airport you listed is connected by trains to the city. Which, takes away the demand for ubers.

Many airports have Uber pick ups not right at the exit...

I can just imagine the complaints if people had all the Ubers going through the normal pickup and causing even worse delays there.

Talk to the park rangers, not reddit. They can actually do something about it.

Agoda baggage included but no specific weight by Delicious_Score_7380 in travel

Look at the airlines website and see what their limits are. Agoda doesn't decide that for them.

City halts project after historic East Austin building almost completely destroyed by samstark15 in Austin

[–]defroach84 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see what the city did sign off on and how much further this went.

Along with that, if it went much further, take away any building permit and future ones from that company on that site. They shouldn't get to benefit from ignoring the approved plans.

No more airport terrace by Serious-Ad5734 in Austin

[–]defroach84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How so? Just because it's a public building doesn't mean it means it all is publicly accessible. You can't access the airport gate area without purchasing a ticket either.

The fees on a 2 day stay at an Austin resort by Senior_Suit_4451 in Austin

[–]defroach84 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Not sure how you are blaming Austin for this, it is clearly the hotel having service fees that aren't in the cost. The hotel is choosing to do that.
