AFTER DOING SOME EXTENSIVE READING AND SURFING THE NON PROFIT GROUPS AND CHURCHES, THE DEMAND BY ILLEGAL PEOPLE FROM MEXICO HAS DECREASED THE LAST 6 MONTHS. AFTER TALKING TO WORKERS AT CARITAS, THEY INFORM ME THAT MANY OF THE ILLEGAL FAMILY'S THEY WERE HELPING HAVE NOTIFIED THEM THEY ARE OR DID RETURN TO MEXICO FOR LACK OF WORK HERE. SOUNDS HARD TO BELEIVE BUT IF YOU REMEMBER THERE IS A BUST ON THE CONDO BUILDING THAT IS GOING ON DOWNTOWN IN AUSTIN. MANY OF THE COMMUNITIES OR DOWNTOWN CONNDOS HAVE HAD TO PULL OUT OR CANCEL PLANS FOR SOME THAT WERE IN THE PLANNING STAGE. IT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXCELLENT IDEA BUT WHEN YOU FIGURE IN THE COST OF RENTING A LOFT OR CONDO IN THE AUSTIN METRO AREA IT MAKES SENSE THAT MANY PEOPLE WHO HAD PLANNED TO MOVE THERE HAVE NOW REALIZED THAT THEY CAN'T QUITE SWING IT ON AUSTIN WAGES ; EVEN THE ONES MAKING GOOD MONEY.THERE IS ALSO THE LOSS IN TAX REVENUE THAT WOULD COME IN FROM THE PROJECTS. AT THE PRESENT AUSTIN HAS A LOT OF CHALLENGES AHEAD . WE HAVE HEAVY RAIL TO COME IN . AND AFTER BEING DEFEATED BY THE VOTERS IN THE PAST ,AUSTIN IS AGAIN TRYING TO PUT LIGHT RAIL ON THE AGENDA. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS HOW WILL IT BE PAYED FOR? THE CITY HAS ALREADY AXED MAJOR REPAIRS TO EXISTING ROADS IN THE CITY, AS THE DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION HAS TOLD THE PRESS THAT BASICALLY WHAT THEY WILL BE DOING IS REPAIRS AND PATCHING STREETS AND FILLING POTHOLES. THE MONEY FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS DRYING UP ALSO. SO NOW THERE WILL BE NO SIDWALKS BUILT AND ONLY WORK DONE ON AUSTINS STREETS ARE THE PATCHING AND FILLING OF POTHOLES. I AM OF THE PERSUATION WE NEED TO MAKE THE PUBLIC AWARE WHAT AREAS WE ARE LACKING IN AND MAYBE SOLUTIONS WILL COME TOGETHER. A CITY BOUND BY FRIENDSHIPS AND A SENSE OF PRIDE IN THIS TOWN WILL BE VITAL TO CONTINUE THE DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS OF OR RESIDENTS. SOON WE WILL START A NEW YEAR WITH A NEW LEADER AND WE WILL BE CALLED ON TO HEAL THIS NATIONS WOUNDS. IT WILL TAKE US ALL TO MAKE IT WORK!!! CHRISTIAN RYAN

I thought you were talking about illegal people from Mexico?
From what I can read it looks like you went of on a tangent there friend. I understand your frustrations.
