Here’s a good example of an Austin councilman. He was part of the group who insisted on bike lanes down a crowded highway and showers for bicyclists at the (now radioactive)formula one racetrack 20 miles from Austin.

They also insisted on shrinking the parking lot to about half the needed size to force people into “green” (which doesn’t currently exist from what I can find) mass transit that they insisted on the race organizers paying for...why do socialists love mass transit so much?... and an organic garden spot in the middle of the track.

I’m not making this up.

Anyway, he’s like most of the non-minority members (They are a different story) and he lives in an area full of people just like himself. He’s not about to be recalled.

I saw only one minority councilman a guy named Martinez(If I remember correctly.) The Austin council seemed to be academics and professional City government types-which would be leftist in orientation.

Excuse my ignorance but is Austin a large university city? Such towns are usually leftist-thanks to the Supreme Court decision saying college kids could vote at their school rather than where their parents lived.
