I wrote a story about why that $2,930 a month rent number (and that 86% rise in rent) has a lot of flaws, what numbers I use and the potential harmful effects of not using good rent data. 1/ kut.org/austin/2022-10-07/mo…

$1,700, $2,900, $3,200 a month? What’s the real cost of rent in Austin?

Experts agree there’s not a one-stop shop for comprehensive rent data. But there are some things to keep in mind when you're confronted with a spectrum of city rent prices.

I wanted to see if Austin Powers looked normal in the Beatles documentary and it turns out yes. Yes he does.

@nathan_nix how do you feel about these new arsenal jerseys?

Ben Darling@benmd8425 Jul 2021

I love the awake kit. I hate the home kit. Not because I think it's ugly or looks bad, it just doesn't remind me of Arsenal. Looks like an Ajax jersey or something.

Our clubs have been closed for 6 months. As of today, the city of Austin has allocated less on helping our friends in the live music industry than it would take to buy this 1 bedroom 1 bath condo:
