West Sixth Street Business in a House

You see these all over Central and West Austin. What used to be a home is now a business. When I see them I always wish it was a home again. I think lots of people would love to live in a home like that. They would end up having to fix it up a bit. Down the alley you can see the home in the West Austin Alley Home post. It seems like businesses should be concentrated in modern, multi-story buildings and people should be living in the old homes. Some of them are big and could be turned into coop houses. Most of these old homes will slowly be torn down and bigger concentrations of businesses and condos will replace them anyway. Its a runaway corporate culture in Austin. At least the city council will get the low wage workers caught up in the business takeover of Austin some sick days to make up for the high cost of living and loss of power.
