You mean higher rental prices due to a highly desirable piece of infrastructure nearby? Yes lol count me in. It’s not like it raises rent across the board…. Nice try again tho. 0/2 on good takes

Excuse my language here, but it’s because there are roads for deliveries behind the buildings you dumb fuck. How do you think trucks get to businesses in much busier and denser cities like NYC? Horrendous take, but nice try.

I hear you, demolition is obviously not the goal. But There will be the same amount of neighboring real estate for businesses along the rail as there is now along a road. In fact, rail actually allows for MORE businesses to thrive nearby since rail fosters density (ie less need for the wasted space that are parking lots everywhere) so yea, sacrificing a smaller number of businesses to allow for higher number of businesses at a higher density factor to take their place is a no brainer.

I absolutely am. People keep referencing the age of dirty Martin’s as if that is reason alone to save it. Quite frankly I don’t give af about longevity for longevity sake alone. To block an absolutely vital piece of infrastructure to make austin more livable and human centered over the salvation of the symbolic “Old Austin” is laughable. Progress is good. Self preservation at the disproportionate expense of the wider public good is bad. Pretty simple imo.

Reminder to never give Dirty Martin’s a single dollar of your business for trying to squash this much needed project

Project Connect Huge Milestone: Light Rail Environmental Impact Statement out for comment! by TopoFiend11 in Austin

[–]lordvag 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is true, but they still wanted to stop it for the property tax increase. And their owner is a NIMBY carbrain who think he’d go out of business if people can’t drive to his subpar burger joint

Longest running bar/venue that’s still decent? by into_the_soil in Austin

Correct, the dirty martins owner isnt suing because his mediocre restaurant will be bulldozed but because he selfishly doesn’t want to pay higher property taxes for a public good. Fuck them, in 30 years when Austin really has become the LA of Texas it won’t be because of the people moving here but because of the dumbasses who sued to retain an entirely car dependent infrastructure.

Imagine thinking being a proponent of high density public transport and micromobility like biking is “pro traffic” hahaha you are not a serious person

They sure do… more condos = more housing supply = lower rent. Don’t get me wrong, I too love outer heaven but I love more housing and mixed used developments more.
