I thought the left said “walls don’t work?”
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.
“You can see people dealing drugs, exchanging drugs for money, you can see fighting, people having sex, defecating, it’s terrible, it’s a third-world country back there,” said Dave Machinist, part owner of the Engine Control Room.
Machinist’s music venue along 7th Street backs up to the alleyway. In the past, he said he’s installed cameras that have been destroyed. City staff said police tried to fix the issue with lights but it only made the issue worse.
“That alleyway needs to be shut down, it should have been shut down over five years ago when we started complaining about it because it is the head of the drug and prostitution ring here in Austin,” said Luke Ackers of Hoboken Pie on Red River.
Again, please explain to me how a wall would work. You said they don’t.
They still allowed to have erections in Austin?
Don’t they know that walls don’t work?
Immorality in Austin? Say it isn’t so.
Hmm…I think they need to be shamed. And called racist.
Google map this. The alley is right next to…. wait for it….
THE AUSTIN POLICE DEPARTMENT.
hahahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahhahaha
I’m sure if you hunt down the many liberal stars/celebs living in the Austin area they all have walls, security and live in secured gated private areas.
I’ve got plenty of relatives who have lived in Austin for decades. In the eighties, they used to call Austin “Sodom On the Colorado” because of the rump rangers running around.
So why no arrests?
Whatever is in Austin is spilling
over to Houston.Plus all the northern
libtards coming here.My area of Galveston county
used to have 1000’s of acres of farm field.Now
the cookie cutter tract homes with NO yard are
poppin’ like shrooms.My 86k chicken shack is now
worth 180k to 200k !
I hear it’s going to be made from ones and zeros and will be patrolled by electric dogs.
Wealthy liberals shout over their walled estates, “WALLS DON’T WORK!”
Relocate bums to SanFan Crisco, Portland, Seattle, and Honolulu where they’ll be appreciated. Should fit right in. Many will even be elected.
Forty years ago, I briefly attended school in Austin. Same thing went on in that area back then. Nothing’s changed. How very progressive.
“You can see people dealing drugs, exchanging drugs for money, you can see fighting, people having sex, defecating, it’s terrible, it’s a third-world country back there,”
Hmm… Sounds like a racist dog whistle to me.
Just to put my statement in context. Are there any cacausian majority third world nations? Seriously, I can’t think of one. Can you?
@Radionationman Try going to Rice Village in Houston. Used to be a great place to bring the family. Now, it’s run over with rich bull dykes and their young, beautiful whore girls who would rather eat carpet than work for a living. The days of a working man being able to afford a beach cabin on the Bolivar Peninsula ended after Hurricane Rita and the County of Galveston decided to tax the living daylights out of the property there.
