That makes sense.I tried to get an appointment at another and was told they couldn’t do the battery work.
Autonation does a good job it just takes them longer than it would if there were more mechanics available.

Show me proof it doesn’t matter and I’ll believe it. There has been housing subsidizing for a long time. I had a subsidized apartment back in the 90s for a while. And yet prices didn’t really spike until the last couple of years. I’ll grant you it’s possible subsidies cause landlords to raise rents a few dollars. But not to the degree we’ve seen lately.What’s happening lately is tenants are expected to bid for apartments. That’s what’s allowing the rents to skyrocket.

All the less than 7500 people getting rent assistance in a market with how many apartments? That’s a miniscule part of the market.Rents increase because more people are moving here (it’s gone from about 100k to nearly a million in the 30 years I’ve been here without much new building until the last few years) and Austin already had a tight apartment market in the 90s.

I mean to a degree *maybe* I could get behind realigning prices. But commercial and industrial buyers are making a profit using that gas and residential buyers aren’t… And residential buyers are more likely to need the gas for everyday life and I feel like they *should* be shouldering less of the share of the costs.
