A Downtown Austin alleyway along Red River known to attract crime will be getting a physical barrier to keep people out of it. On Wednesday, city staff with the Economic Development Department presented the Downtown Commission with some of the complaints about the alley from business owners. The city is now searching for a contractor to put up a fence that’s “at least 10 feet” high at the front end of the alley way along Red River and at the back end along Waller Creek... “That alleyway needs to be shut down, it should have been shut down over five years ago when we started complaining about it

Fences.. in Austin, THIS is the epitome of hyprocrisy.
But fences are racist...
Fences are not only racist, but immoral!
But but but fences don’t work! /leftidiots including those who infest Austin
“But fences are racist...”
And, they don’t work and are immoral.
The almost most ignorant female (hint: wrinkled, addled, defines bimbo and naturally, lives in a city full of sh*t) in the multiverse said so.
The most ignorant is obviously Maxine zero brain, or is it Occasional Cortex?
This fence is a literal immorality!!
This is utterly Immoral!
I’m headed to GoFundme, and start a campaign to pay for ladders to get over it.
Please, Austin is “Berkeley Without The Bay,” or “The $ilicon $hithole!” But by comparison to DFW, Houston and SA, Austin is a mini-$hit hole!
Don’t you know liberal walls are beautiful, Trump walls are immoral.
Gigouddahea. We’ve got it unda control. You want the bodies buried whea?
Exactly. Austin so badly wants to be San Francisco. It’s disgusting. That saying “Keep Austin Weird” isn’t just cute, it’s a demand from the hairy liberal hippies!
bttt
I think it should be longer than 10 feet. Call me radical.
Radical.
Austin with a fence? They must work there
in the San Francisco of the South.
Everybody knows that fences don't work.
SJL is a contender too.
I just looked up a profile of a guy I once interviewed with long ago. He’s still in Austin. I must admit it was nice in some areas long ago.
That being said, I also saw an Applebee’s closed in what looked like an abandoned mall. That kind of surprised me. It was before all the major malls were collapsing.
Years ago, I used to go to Austin to see Applied Materials ( a Silicon Valley Chip Making Equipment Mfr. Even then, it didn’t seem anything like the rest of Texas. Also I had a good friend who moved from CA to Austin to work at Tracor. With the money they got out of their CA home, they built a palace “up on the hill” with the UTA professors. They helped a neighbor run for political office, but they were generally shunned by the locals because “they weren’t Texans.” The left in disgust after about 5 years ( wife said she’d had enough of Texas and Texans) and moved back to CA. Unfortunately, CA real estate had appreciated and Austin’s hadn’t, so they had to buy a tract home in Cupertino even though my friend was a VP in a big SV company.
