This is the election when the next era of Austin's saga begins. Will it be one of continued prosperity, or will the bottom fall out for real for the first time since 2001?
We mention it in passing in the stories in this preview, but it's worth pausing for a sec to fully appreciate it: The upcoming November elections will see the retirement and replacement of the last pre-10-1 Austin council member and leave only one member remaining of the first 10-1 council, elected in 2014. For some of you, this was only yesterday, and you remember the issues at play in that wildass election, when all 10 seats were up and 87 people ran.
That's a good thing! That 2014 election was sorta disappointing to people who wanted 10-1 to be a clean break from the previous at-large city council, which operated in an atmosphere of consensus-building so cozy that it ended up violating the Texas Open Meetings Act, and was routinely elected by about 15% of Austin voters.
This is the election when the next era of Austin's saga begins. Will it be one of continued prosperity and sexiness, or will the bottom fall out for real for the first time since 2001? Which of these outcomes should we root for if we'd like to rent a decent apartment? And will Austin withstand the heavy red pressure bearing down on its borders?
