Tear Down

I'll bet what's coming next in the open space is what you see behind it. Condos. They're going to build something. My memory is that it used to be a grocery store and other small shops in a mini-mall situation. Did business dry up as people who would shop there were priced out of the neighborhood? Was business fine but the owners of the space could make a truckload of money by selling the property? Cities influence development through zoning and other regulations on building. If Austin liberals can't control development it makes you wonder why voting even matters. Liberals keep voting for politicians who don't stop the destruction of working people's neighborhoods and don't stop the affluent takeover of valuable spaces.
