Questions:
How much cash does @ATP_org have on hand? And where did the rest go?
What do we have to show for it?
What happens to the money when @ATP_org loses at the State Supreme Court.? (That’s where this is headed)

Austin has spent well over $400 million on homelessness in the last decade, by some calculations. Now the city wants $100 million more next year, plus a $23 million/year increase through 2034.
Here’s some of what that $100 million will buy:
• 60 bureaucrats’ salaries and benefits servicing the homeless industrial complex
• $32M for shelters, incl. $8M for a temporary facility + $19M to operate 550 new beds
• $24M for rapid rehousing – even though all existing programs are full
• $13M for permanent supportive housing (PSH) – despite a massive backlog of unfunded units
• $5M for more outreach & encampment “management”
• $4M for “diversion” + “landlord engagement”
• Annual costs of $25K–$40K per bed or client placement
@DocumentingATX It’s across the street from a retirement community with hundreds of seniors and an elementary school. I’ve seen cars driving back there and very young children in shopping carts. I’ve tried Council Member Natasha Harper-Madison and police but no one cares. It’s disgusting.
Hey @CMZoQadri, how about next time, before you automatically vilify and bash APD when you don’t have all the information you actually get the facts straight. You spew hate against APD when in reality those officers were stopping an individual who was trying to assault another person in YOUR district!
Austin should be a safe haven for all. But you’ve promoted a sense of lawlessness in your own district.
@VanessaForATX How do you expect the landowner to ‘enforce’ no trespassing? Are you suggesting they pay for 24/7 private security since the City won’t enforce no camping and no public drug use? What happens if they engage a mentally unstable person? This is ridiculous!
@DocumentingATX If the City won’t enforce no trespassing/ no camping what is a landowner supposed to do? Why is it the landowner’s responsibility to fund constant cleanup and danger? Feels like the City is again just shifting blame.
You know, it’s funny…
CNN didn’t run a single story about my neighbors in Western North Carolina living in tents for MONTHS under Joe Biden…
…but Trump fires federal workers after offering 8 MONTHS OF VACATION, and they get wall-to-wall coverage?!!
