I have a member of my extended family that is about to buy a multi-million dollar condo in the Independent. All I hear in the news is "Austin has a record murder rate two years in a row" and "Austin defunded the police". Is it safe? His realtor is telling him it is perfectly safe but how honest can someone be when they see a $60,000 payday?

Yes it is safe. Dirty sixth is a mess. That's about it.

It's perfectly safe. Like any other downtown area, just don't be a moron and you'll be fine.

Great part of downtown. You could live without a car in that location. Trader Joe's, the lake, Zilker, the library all within walking distance

If they are buying a multi million dollar condo I'd imagine they've done the legwork to know if they will like

Your obsession is pretty sad, maybe you need a hobby?

Hobby is telling people where the poop and urine smell is coming from

I travel the streets of downtown 4-5 days a week and have never see human feces on the street. There are a lot of panhandlers but atleast 25% (and the most annoying/aggressive ones) are well dressed college students with tablets and try to get you to donate to some "philanthropic" cause

Your downtown must be close to campus. Go down by the ARCH plenty of poop on the streets there

Interesting wording from another thread you created: https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3352315/replies/63955506

From the sixth post (yours): "Terrible situation all around. Doubt he would have ever felt the need to purchase a firearm if Jose Garza didn't absolutely destroy public safety in Austin. Austin has a record murder rate two years in a row after defunding the police. Just terrible."

At least you're a consistent trolling doofus.

Frost Tower you say? Need to walk east about six blocks then north two. Then you'll step right into it.
