Whats even more insane is that they had voted to legalize these same encampments in 2018, and are now banning them again because it got out of control. Showing that even if it is extremely liberal, it is still Texas so people have some common sense.
Also, with all of the other things around the state that that saw Dems and the Progressives get absolutely curbstomped, I think the idea of "Blue Texas" was just found dead in a ditch. And with Florida now solidly Republican for the foreseeable future, it will make it that much harder for the Dems.
Just to point out, this was a repudiation of the mayor and city council, who actually voted for that. The people voted on a referendum to bring it back. They pissed off enough people that in 2 years, the most California town in Texas went red policy, again.
Ah. I am not in Texas so I had only heard through the grapevine that it had been voted on to allow it recently, and now they are already back tracking. I thought it was a referendum that did it the first go around as well.
