I pay Travis County taxes. Do you pay Wilco taxes?

 

Why would I pay Wilco Taxes? I pay city taxes and travis county taxes. I would also bet a fortune that people in the city travel less to unincorporated areas (especially on non state roads) than the unincorporated people come into Austin and use our roads, parks etc.

Austin saw fit to annex a big chunk of Wilco, so don’t give me that bs.

How does that impact any of what we are talking about?

 Austin now touches Williamson County, Hays County, and Bastrop County.  That does present an interesting conundrum particularly as those areas of Austin are growing faster than what we think of as "Austin Proper" in Travis County.  To merry all those funding issues, elections, and bond proposals.  The grift is either gonna get much, much worse.  Or will finally be exposed.  Nothing in the middle. 

But you still won't shut up about it. Do you post as much about cedar park or wherever?
Every time I think you can't be more of a miserable humorless cunt you prove me wrong. Great job I guess

I got to say as a person who lives in unincorporated Travis county it feels damn good to stick the bill to fix our streets to people like Pasken, who was in favor of all the shit that caused me to move out of Austin to here.

At least you are content with being a leech to society. 

Yes, the once every 10 year spray our streets with black goo and throw rocks on it which cost the county $70k while the several hundred of us pay $2000-$10000 a year in property tax to the county is such a leach on the poor downtrodden Austin citizens.

A quick reference:

As someone who lives in an unincorporated area surrounded by Austin, there's nothing stopping them from incorporating us.  I wonder why they don't?  Maybe it's cheaper for them not to.  Hmmmmm.

If they incorporate they have to provide sewer, water and garbage. The cost of sewage and water will take a long, long time to recover and we have to spend our money removing lanes from streets, not doing something that is good for the long term of the city.

Unincorporated Travis County talk not going away. 

I am an Austin citizen again, but I did live in an unincorporated pocket for 5 years. And I do mean pocket, my enclave was surrounded by CoA. The only city service I had was water. When my house got broken into, had to wait for the TCSO, even though my neighbor across my back fence was in COA. We had to contract out for private trash pick up. Our power was provided by Pedernales Electric. Etc. Oh, and I still paid a lot of taxes to the County, just none to CoA.

According to my neighbors, the City did a cost analysis about 25 years ago, and because all of the houses were on septic, and the city would have had to run sewers, they figured that it would cost too much money to install sewers and tie in all the houses, so they decided not to annex. So the city made the choice to lose the tax revenue in perpetuity on houses that are all worth over half a million (many well over that amount) now because in the mid 90s they were short sighted. 

But yeah, it's a one way street, only the people who live in unincorporated areas are the ones who take, not that the city doesn't want to offer services to them because it would cost too much.

And you're stuck with Fitlump while we get to sit back and watch.

As of the last Legislative session, for the most part, Cities can no longer just annex properties without the owners consent. It was basically a big "Fuck You" to Austin due to the River Place fiasco.

I suspect that Counties will eventually push back on the the lege when they get tired of paying for road maintenance everywhere, but for now, if a City wants to annex a subdivision, they have to get approval from the property owners.

 

On the issue of annexation/providing service, the City is required to provide water and sewer within a prescribed time frame. I think it is like three years. However, that does not mean they have to connect your house to the system. They just have to make the pipes accessible to your property and then the property owner has to foot the bill for the connections and the system on their property.

It is generally a very slow process, but over time, once the infrastructure is provided, owners/developers that have large lots that had been required to be 1 acre or larger for septic systems, will eventually see the benefit of bulldozing their house, subdividing the lot and attaching to city services.

As an unproductive and unhelpful aside, whenever I see your avatar now I briefly think she's got a pacifier in her mouth and that makes me feel a little funny in my underpants.

This is an aside, but the legislature and the Governor's war on cities is going to come back to haunt them. Not in the form of Democrats winning, probably, but it's going to start kneecapping the political careers of a lot of people. They may think they are really just fucking with the big four cities, but it's the fast growing smaller cities (e.g. McKinney, Frisco, Conroe, Cedar Park, New Braunfels, Pearland that are going to get hurt the most.

In-law lives out in Alpine, in one of the nicer subdivisions outside of city limits (not that there are many "nice" subdivisions around Alpine).  Unincorporated.  Alpine looked at the 20-30 houses (all had a lot of land around them) in that subdivision and decided to incorporate them.  Brewster County said "LOL, okay, you're responsible for streets/etc.

The roads went to shit in fairly fast order as the city did not want to deal with maintaining roads used by such a small number of people.  But they wanted those houses and land in the city.  To say it's caused a lot of drama is an understatement.

And I bet the people in that annexed section had no say in it

In 2004, I didn't really want Bee Cave to form an incorporated village, didn't want the increased taxes and all that.  But of course 16 years later, it can't make me any happier that we are never going to be annexed by Austin.  They can eat shit.

Don't get too cocky sir.  When that outdoor mall and a chunk of that big-box shitshow across 71 go tits up and your city loses a huge portion of its tax base, the City of Austin is gonna play predator with you guys and see if they can't bring a portion of you into Austin.  Good news is the stuff west of 620 will help you out and you're doing some office space and mixed-use, and there's a fair amount of in-fill and raw land.  But just don't get complacent on the battles ahead.  

Having said that, between 6-6:30p, where should I be looking for the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction.  I've got a good parking garage picked out on the way outta town...at that hour so the kids can get to bed before 7p......we should be looking due West, or Southwest?

this my situation.  and the shitshow/open warfare under the overpass up the street comes courtesy of our CoA Full Member neighbors.  

we all pay.  just some of us have more direct responsibility for the cost.

That’s why we Brushy Creek leeches were happy the legislature allowed us to vote ourselves out of Austin’s ETJ 20+ years ago, so we aren’t under the thumbs of that trainwreck city council. 

 

Now i know why that helmet is sitting so high I’ll on her head.

Austin sewage spill poisoned my entire neighborhood sickening thousands of us including my dog & cat, so tough shitski.

We have our own law enforcement, fire protection, & road maintenance and get nothing from Austin except the above.

When was this sewage spill?  I seem to vaguely remember it.

Maybe 20 years ago. 
I didn’t get sick until we got off the plane in Reno, Nevada. Stopped quickly at the Peppermill Casino where I destroyed the first restroom I could find. 
Austin fought the neighborhood’s class action lawsuit, but eventually settled.

Haven't gone back to check, but I feel sure she has claimed special broken-arm therapy-dog mutant Kung Pao Covid by now.

The fact that hating homeless people is the worst thing they want to promote about her sure tells the story of how she managed to get elected.

You have to understand, when she was a child the alien implanted tracking devices were not as miniaturized.

WOW. I had no idea until this thread today. Oh my lord.

Speaking of therapy dog... she hasn't made any tweets or anything about that poor little dead-eyed pooch in some time.

Guess he's been relegated to "not important enough to give me likes and upvotes" status to Lump.

He probably better off for it.
