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.

I would be pretty happy, though, if they'd just build a whole new government town out on some unused land somewhere and move everything there and stop trying to run Austin. They could pack in their meals for their sessions every couple of years and close it all down when they leave.
