      Even in cities like Austin, sidewalks are missing. That’s a wheelchair accessibility issue.

        Can you blame the city for trying to contain the Abbot virus?

      sidewalks have always been a privilege for the elite and wealthy, NOT A RIGHT, use a death machine like a normal person and quit whining.

      A buddy of mine in NYC was offered a $14k bonus to move to Texas, closer to his employer. He declined for a bunch of obvious reasons, but one was that he and his girlfriend would each need a car to get around. That would quickly eat into that bonus, if not use it up entirely.
