I'm not sure what you're saying. Do you think those things make Austin immune to any problems that could be caused by increased income inequality?

When I went to UT, you could be poor. You could be retired and live in Travis Heights. You can’t do those things now, because there’s no rent control, and your 1400 sqft bungalow is valued at $1.5M and your tax rate is $2/$100 valuation and going up 20% next year.

The difference is Gov. Abbott will eventually drive those icky poor/homeless under the overpass out by taking over APD and busing them to CA. Progress. /s
