If their investment depends on tax rebates then they shouldn't do it, but it is inappropriate for us taxpayers to support their development project.

Shame on the City Council for giving to the rich and taking tax dollars from the average citizens of Austin!

Corporate welfare should be paid by the investors and NOT by the Tax Payers.

We should not let our tax dollars be squandered on another development on our town lake shores!

This breaks my heart! More ugly skyscrapers destroying the beauty of the lake. Lady Bird would be appalled and heart broken too.

This give away is ridiculous. Let the investors fund it themselves!

I need my money as a retired teacher. I am tired of giving to the very wealthy while my taxes and expenses continue to grow while my income does not!

Your taxes are ruining this city and making it unaffordable for middle and lower class workers. You've got to be heartless and full of greed. It'll come back to hurt you in the future.

Those of us on a fixed income are drowning in real estate tax bills. ALL should pay their fair share.

Don't subsidize billionaires. Obviously, private developers haven't needed our tax money to build the penthouses and condominiums that line our downtown. Average downtown condo is $891,000. and increasing. Remember when the council said a proposed permanent camping location for the homeless was too expensive to develop? Local elections have consequences.

Stop punishing the lower classes for unnecessary Austin growth.

We should never be surprised that the city council wants to get more taxes to benefit themselves (one way of the other).

Come on, did you forget who voted for you? Stop the growth. As a born Austenite, we want you to reject the SCWF TIRZ and oppose giving away our hard-earned tax dollars.

I do not want my tax dollars going to this proposal! Provide shelter for the homeless. Feed our children!
