Im seriously afraid for Austin. The reason why it's so great is because of small businesses, bars, restaurants, culture etc. Unfortunately these days they are getting bullied out of the city by huge companies, apartments, luxury housing etc. 4th Street Bars will be taken over by a skyscraper, probably Rainey St soon.

@anarush9855 2 года назад

rainey st was already taken from Hispanic homeowners and residents to be turned into bars and restaurants….this is what happens when you don’t care about residents…if you don’t care about people having housing, why care about some people having a business in their old homes? It’s a cycle, no wonder that street will be replaced by a skyscraper

Remember this when UT cold calls you for donations and fundraising.

@vivianhuynh4136 2 года назад

Yes, but please don't lash out towards the caller. A lot of them are UT students working part-time getting paid minimum wages trying to pay for school.

UT is all about the money they could care less, y'all should do a story on how much real estate UT has been buying.

I'm sure that would be like shooting themselves in the foot. So....

The fact that an educational institution has a real estate office is insane.

Small busineses are the backbone of our economy. This is awful. Hopefully they can relocate.

Rich people getting richer that's all it is it's why you always have a lawyer look over your contract before signing it

@davidgoodnow269 2 года назад

That's just F*d up. What's UT's explanation?

@blackwind6317 2 года назад

Same explanation that everyone is facing. People who don't own a business such your everyday working person getting out bid and price out homes and rental properties. Literally Texans leaving Austin and surrounding areas to find affordable places.

@josephkeres4604 2 года назад

They don’t need to give an explanation. Hook em’.

@stevegarcia9098 2 года назад

I'm a longhorn fan but I'm not really surprised by this move by UT. Austin has become Texas' San Francisco. I do appreciate aTm's conservative fan base way more than the liberals in Austin. Stephen must be rolling in his grave.

Where are the students going to eat?

@UTClassof 2 года назад

When I was a student, I ate in dobie mall alot. There weren't many restaurants on the drag in the 90's. Mostly record\cd music stores and clothing's stores. The food places came in the 2000,'s. The Whataburger on the drag was a taco bell in the 80's-90's. I graduated in 1991.

@josephkeres4604 2 года назад
