Readers naturally interpreted this post as a criticism of suburban development.  I in fact believe that we over-subsidize suburban development through road construction, but I mainly wrote the post for two other reasons.  First, it is rather obvious evidence that those who claim drivers pay the full cost of roads are wrong.  And, second, there are a few central Austinites who claim that infill development actually

After a summer tussling over plastic bag bans and parking meter hours, the City Council seemed unwavering in its willingness to impose onerous restrictions on Austin businesses.

Last week, however, the council began implementing a set of ordinances on payday lenders. These new rules are as commonsense as they are long overdue.

It's been an ongoing debate: when should downtown street parking be free and when should the City require payment?

For a long time, the City has operated meters from 8:30am - 5:30pm Monday - Friday. ... One of the reasons for the change was a theory that downtown service workers were taking all of the evening parking and thus displacing paying customers.

In reality, there is a ton of paid parking downtown so nobody is being turned away for a lack of a spot. even when an estimated 200,000 people were downtown for the peak day of SXSW, very few of the garages were full.

James Holmes, the man behind fine dining restaurant Olivia's, is arguably one of Austin's favorite chefs, and his fried chicken is certainly one of Austin's favorite dishes.

For the time being, you can only get your hands on his tasty, fried breasts and thighs during Olivia's weekend brunch, in the food court at ACL, or at Olivia's Fried Chicken Revival parties during SXSW.
