Austin City Council is banking on a 16% property tax increase

I think property tax questions are interesting and nuanced, because I really like having city services, and someone has to foot the bill.

But the affordability issues of Austin TX are legendary, and the less income an Austinite has, the the more they’re going to feel the negative impact of this raise on their day-to-day.

Auditing the city spending is a good alternative, but I doubt it will show enough corruption.

What do y’all think? Do we need the money? If so, are there better ways to get it?
