    There is no surprise that communities want to break away from the wokeness of the City of Austin government.

    Trying to escape the constant tax increases due to the liberal policies of Austin, the most liberal city in Texas.

      "In Travis County, the average tax bill property owners paid for the homes they live in was 7% lower in 2023 than in 2018 when accounting for inflation, according to figures provided by the Travis County Tax Assessor-Collector’s office." - Research done by Texas Tribune. Are you even from here? You sound like a clown.

      Those sections don’t have building codes from the city, those codes are set by the county/state. They briefly mentioned it in this video. And let’s be honest, the building codes need more restrictions. Have you seen these paper houses being built locally.

    If the government doesn’t serve the people they govern then the people have the right to abandon that government. Government that doesn’t serve isn’t a government.

    Dumb idea. The people requesting this have seriously, not thought this through. Between water, power, sewer, and all of the other expenses, including fixing potholes there is no way this area could self-support itself. If they’re doing it just as a way to get out of paying taxes I get it and maybe the city should wake up but still a dumb idea.

    Area should be available to the public as in the locals of Austin. Not limited only to those who are currently habituating that area. If not this enable Austin boundaries to be alter any given moment a community of that area voted to be so.

    We would hate for them to leave perhaps if they could have a little patience with us. Also these neighborhoods are apart of our cities culture and historical landmarks by them leaving we would be changing things that were already documented in history books and files 🥺
