Last night a tall white homeless man chased my friend w/machete at Robert E Lee (I still call it that) and BSprings while he was in his car. He and the driver behind him had to uturn on RLee and fled in fear. Is this guy out already?

@ZoForAustin There’s zero justification for the man to run from DPS to get closer to home and tell his child to run inside. He put lives at risk for evading and used his son as a shield. This man fails as a father and you fail as a CM. You really should give medical school another shot son.

Agree w this but I would add that there is one very cheap way to get mode shift: take away space from cars and give it to bike/peds/buses. Mode shift isn’t all about light rail. If dozens of streets in Austin are given the Barton Springs treatment, there will be mode shift.
