You're volunteering to pay their share of taxes, Karpo?

Do you know Austin's history of housing discrimination or ever heard of the the term "red lining"?

You're advocating for "reparations". Just come out and say it.

Seems like maybe the new residents are an improvement over the old ones and have built a better community

In this scenario I still feel these communities will largely remain segregated and infact may even prevent them from accruing equity.
You are right! The areas of Austin that are doing this best are the Wells Branch Area, Lakeline, and Southpark Meadows, and Mueller some of everyone are in these areas and it shows with the diversity of the food and shopping attractions. I'm in Lakeline and I have neighbors of diverse income ranges and ethnicities. Venuezuelan, Indian, Nigerian, Russian, South african, Cuban, Canadian, even one guy from Belarus.

Seriously, some parents actually foisted that name on their daughter?
That really is child abuse from the getgo.

My guess is that the parents didn't do that - they kid would have long since changed it. Person probably changed it to that for some reason that is beyond me.

It's all in the pronunciation. Rhymes with "heffer-ti-tt-y"

Maybe the person adopted it for their cam-girl business?
