I live in the area and have seen crowded streets with people walking in the street and auto traffic narrowed to two lanes. The popularity of the area has expanded faster than the street can handle and the pedestrians are at risk. The City of Austin could have saved itself a pile of money if they had just demanded that the businesses along the street put in sidewalks in front of their property as a condition of getting a permit. But that horse is out of the barn and the safety is now an issue for the City.

We are trying to impose/prop up a corrupt government

Our education system in Iowa is perhaps our greatest strength, and much of it comes from teachers from K-12 and in higher education. They are among the best in the country. I know, because I am a proud college professor, who teaches online for nearly every community college in Iowa. Every semester, my classes are full, and it's because I work hard to present and teach the most robust, learning friendly courses possible. And I mean I work hard and I work for the benefit of my students to be their solution to receiving a meaningful education. As a result, they do, and when they go to work in Iowa, they are armed with knowledge and skills I have helped them attain to better our fine state. Teachers are not the problem; they are the solution!

In states that are far left or right all the votes cast will go to elect the president of the majority party regardless of the votes of the minority. The Electoral College should be replaced by a popular vote election or at least by a percentage vote whereas the delegates of the state are awarded according to the percentage of votes casts for each candidate.

The Rainey Street area has blossomed into a hip place to be and there is lots of pedestrian traffic since no place has enough parking. But if the City of Austin doesn't act fast there could be some traffic fatalities if they don't provide a sidewalk for the walking traffic on Rainey Street.

All online services (cell phones, Netflix, gaming, etc.) are changing their terms so that if you have any legal issues with them, you can't sue in court, with a jury, and especially no class-action lawsuits. Gaming has always been a huge part of my life, but if I agree to this, they could basically do whatever they want and I'm essentially defenseless. I'm calling on anyone with the power to do so to stop this practice.
