This is insane!!! Stop giving away TAXPAYER money & raising our taxes . Most austin residents will not benefit from this project in any way… we’ll just keep paying higher taxes! If the city has that much money to invest invest in hiring more police , fire men, provide shelter/ homes for the homeless, hire more social workers. Please stop this insanity !!!!!

Wed do not need more subsidies for private development and corporations. We need to spend our tax dollars to maintain what is still left of our quality of life.

I resent that the Austin city council spends the tax money like it belonged to them. Those businesses do NOT need the money.

I oppose giving away taxes or credits to private developers while the average household owner continues to pay exorbitant and increased property taxes every year!

City council has lost their damn minds. In a time that housing costs are at their peak, you don’t take money from hard-working people to subsidize the affluent. This is purely theft and doesn’t benefit taxpayers.

Why does the COA need this development? Doesn't seem like it meets our stated goals.

Isn’t it a violation of immigrant visa holders to receive taxpayer assistance? This would violate the terms of their immigrant or non immigrant petition with the US government doesn’t it?

This is bleeping ridiculous!! Let these folks finance their own development, so Council can use our tax money for things like education and public health and policing. Stop the Steal, in other words!1

It is unfortunate that elected officials believe this project is a legal and/or moral giveaway of tax dollars.
