Welcome to Hippieland Austin

An example of the City Council's mindset (hate cars, love bikes):

They want to plant bollards on Nueces Street to discourage cars from using the (public, paid for by gas taxes) street, in favor of bicyclists.

ONE MILE of the street, in the busiest part of town. Because, you know, people are going to love paying to park, then ride their bikes with ZERO cargo capacity to the stores in Downtown Austin.

One more reason to live in one of the suburban cities around Austin.
