Yeah, Austin is freedom city, alright. Panhandlers and homeless on every block.
I live in Austin and the City is a complete lost cause. City Council wastes time and valuable tax dollars on pet Liberal policies. We had a homeless camp under a bridge a block from my house, couches, chairs and tables even a cook stove made from a Walmart shopping cart. The police would come and run them out and the camp would be set up again in a day or two. This went on for months. We were having a drought. The first rain came and washed away all the homeless and all of their crap. They have not been back.
