Austin, Texas, once a thriving small town Mecca of genuine Americana has become a victim of its own success.
After high rent and property taxes ran all of the musicians that made Austin the “Live Music Capital of the World” out of town, Austin is now preyed on by a left-wing real estate millionaire whose zoning decisions apparently still don’t merit a conflict of interest.
Steve Adler’s real estate empire of $320 Million worth of properties includes a luxury condo in the ivory tower of the W Hotel directly behind Austin City Hall.
Among Adler and the City Council’s waste of taxpayer dollars is an 85 thousand dollar storage room that was never used, three solar toilets for $450,000, $6 million for a rundown hotel valued at $2.6 million to house homeless people in, roughly 370 million in taxpayer dollars for a power plant that has been abandoned, dumping millions into a Convention Center that lost $40 Million last year alone, ruined Austin’s credit rating and oversees $1.2 Billion in City debt.
