I spent Christmas here every year since 1970. I started eating at the Western Cafe in 1974. My Moms side of the family moved here in the 1940's. I learned how to drive in snow here in Grandma Vera's (Vera's Fabrics) 1985 Subaru. I moved here 12 years ago. Everything I moved away from in Austin TX. is happening here now. Drugs, traffic, crime, high rent, low wages, gentrification, etc, etc,. Last summer I painted a garage for a hedge fund banker that just bought a 1,000,000 house off Wallace Ave. How can I retire or buy a house here when everyone moving here already has 100 million dollars to throw around? It's very depressing for poor people.
