Enjoy that on you tax bill starting in December. So dumb. Read the proposition next time!!!
No one knows what they voted for. 7.1 Billion and that doesn't even get the entire project done. A 8.75 cent increase to the city of Austin's tax rate would pay for construction, maintenance and labor of the system, which will take decades to fully build out.
You also voted for Prop B offers $460 million for a slew of items, including $260 million on bike lanes, urban trails and sidewalks as well as a $102 million package that includes a three-pronged pedestrian bridge just up river of the Longhorn Dam at Pleasant Valley Road.
OK so I may take some heat for this post. I want to explain to you why this is important. It's especially important to people that work jobs where they don't make a lot of money or even have to work two jobs. This didn't make Austin more affordable this is going to increase property taxes on every apartment complex in the city of Austin. What this means is private property owners are going to pay more in their houses and tenants are going to pay more rent. And it still won't solve our transportation issues.
