neighborhood activist

I noted recently that the 30 largest U.S. urbanized areas (excluding NYC) display no association between density and the number of households with children (as a percentage of all households).

 I have put the numbers below the fold for the curious.

The runoff for Austin City Council Place 4 is beginning to come into focus, with endorsements lining up behind Laura Morrison, who led Cid Galindo in the first round last month.

The Man gives its nod to Morrison in a Sunday editorial, calling it “a close contest” but arguing that the former neighborhood activist is “the candidate with broader range.”

Today’s joint endorsement by Austin’s three leading public safety associations could alter the political landscape of the May city council elections, giving Lee Leffingwell, Randi Shade, and Cid Galindo a leg up over their opponents.

The Austin Police Association, Austin Fire Fighters, and Austin-Travis County EMS workers put aside their usual historic differences to endorse the three candidates and pledge money and manpower to their campaigns between now and the May 10 election.

Ex-Planning Commissioner Cid Galindo is getting into the Austin city council race to replace the retiring Betty Dunkerley, bringing to three the number of candidates who have announced for the seat.

One-time City Hall staffer Robin Cravey and veteran neighborhood activist Laura Morrison had previously announced.

City Councilman Lee Leffingwell isn’t subtle about his hope to be elected Mayor over expected opponent Brewster McCracken in May 2009.

Some say they’ve even spotted him sneaking into the office late at night to sketch plans for arranging the furniture once he gets there.

Fung shui is fundamental, you know. Especially at Austin’s City Hall.
