35,000 vote in Travis Co. first day. My line was 30 mins, so I sped it up...

Texas.

I waited for over an hour.

First time, I voted straight ticket. Usually I take my time and vote all Dem one at a time. Fortunately, no referendums on the ballot.

Not impressed with the idea of cutting down road capacity with the expectation people will shift to Bike Lanes and Buses. Austin is too hot and too sprawling for large scale commuter biking to work; buses are not sanely structured to do anything more than take people to/from downtown from specific corridors.

25 yrs ago, but our "progressive" City Council got their marching odors from high-rise developers who wanted particular areas for some Miami Beach-looking condos. So, no. No attempts even to see if a cheap strip of asphalt next to a RR bed would even work. Just buckets of paint along a congested, dangerous hwy. Bonds here are essentially a blank check for anything a planner wants, election post-hoc. And the planners are ALWAYS big developers.

To be honest, I sense Prop1 is an attempt to push people downtown to buy the unused condos there while screwing over those who live in the periphery.

South Lama looks like a main thoroughfare in Miami 40 years ago: Zoned from the lake to Ben White (some 4 miles) pure condo.
