Austin, Texas is supposed to be capital of coolness, the hippest place to be for a certain kind of people. SXSW and all that. But city officials there did not take it well when a municipal employee enlivened a 45 page presentation by using a satirical map of the city to demonstrate a point about a street.

The map, which the staffer apparently downloaded from the Internet, made the rounds months ago on social media as 'Judgmental Austin' and 'features derogatory labels for our city,' City Manager Marc Ott told the mayor and City Council in a memo late Wednesday.

The maps are pretty funny. More proofs that liberals have zero sense of humor.

Re: Tolerant Austin, TX will not tolerate being made fun of

Sad to say, but our state capitol, the Peoples Republic of Austin... is so tied up in their liberal belief of total diversity & tolerance that they will shoot on sight anyone who has the slightest objection to all they march in lock step to--

The maps are accurate too.

Who publishes them? Where can they be found?

I work by Lamar and 183 and trust me, having Little Asia just up the road is a GOOD thing at lunch time!

Really clever! I see Senator Cruz’s office is in the non-provocative “EX FRAT HIGHRISES” district.

I’d ask where his house is, but that would just prompt someone to post a map of Calgary ;-)

Re:

Not much to find... at fault here--

But you'd think they'd at least give the S. Mexico XXL HOOKERS... a larger font!

They think they do, when they’re blasting everyone else’s “sacred cows” and calling themselves iconoclasts, but they sure show their true colors when it’s their sacred cows on blast.

Tolerant Austin, TX Liberals will not tolerate being made fun of

Only conservatives, rednecks, white males, and those who cling to guns or religion should be made fun of

Besides being funny, the map can be VERY USEFUL to people that are relocating there.

I was born in Austin and grew up in the “COMFY FATTIES” area of the map. I left Austin as soon as I could.

Anyone visiting Texas for the first time needs to know that Austin is not representative of Texas, it is the San Francisco of Texas.

I was in the “scary HEB” about 12 years ago on a Sunday night when a fist fight broke out in the check out lane.
