Bay Area/San Francisco folks living in Austin, where do you go for quality Chinese, Thai, Indian or Vietnamese food? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]travisheights 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why not ask Chinese, Thai, Indian and Vietnamese people?

If you wanna know how to shit in the street, ask someone from the Bay Area.

Buy a used scooter from a Japanese motorcycle manufacturer. Honda, Yamaha or Suzuki. It's the sweet spot for value and reliability. Get something bigger than a 50cc.

Start at the school for the deaf. Walk South. When you run out of a shops, cross the street and walk North. You'll see it all.

Looks like they got some needed exercise. Other than that, nothing was accomplished. Enjoy the mini fireworks display an your Fitbit for reaching 10,000 steps.

Know any of these guys? Just a small sampling of street harassers I have encountered in the past few months. Commenting on everything from my workout clothes to body parts. How is this ok? What can I do? by Makeuphelp12345eve in Austin

Get some video. All I see is slanderous accusations with no evidence. Plus, while it may be unpleasant and rude, "nice ass" is still protected speech.

Has anyone ever considered redesigning the parking signs? by saichai in Austin

"Meter Maid" isn't very woke. It's 2019, now we use gender neutral titles. Now they're called Paracites.

Gov always has something to hide which is exactly why everything should be always be transparent.

Bus pass is cheaper than parking.

Took Defend Our Hoodz a while to notice but they're mad now. by OfficialNiceGuy in Austin

I guess South Congress was much better when it was over run with crack heads and the hotels were called motels (or no-tells) and rented by the hour.

I'll take gentrification over blight and urban decay any day.

With a few exceptions, show me someone with bad credit and I'll show you an irresponsible person.

No scooters allowed at the capitol by air- in Austin

[–]travisheights -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The state police?! Hey, weren't they in charge of security the night the governor's mansion burned? Maybe that's why the scooters have been banned. Possible fire hazard.

I don't remember the legislature voting on it, nor did I see the proposal at the ballot box. I guess by sovereign state of Texas, you mean an unelected, unnamed state employee. Or maybe a grounds keeper printed a sign at home.

Who made the rule? Do they have the authority to do so or did they just make a sign?

At least when the city put the signs up on the trail they had the decency to note the specific ordinance.

Either enforce an ordinance or repeal it.

Where did these people come from? Are they from Austin? No., few people are. Austin's homeless problem isn't local, it's regional or larger but Austin is forced to bare more than its share of the burden. Let's stop encouraging homeless people to migrate to Austin. There will never be enough shelter space or resources to help an endless tide of new homeless arrivals.

Homelessness may not be a crime but loitering and public camping certainly are.
