Calm down. The mayor is the like the Texas governor in that they can run a PR campaign, but little power. FYI Castro was the only mayor with overt liberal ideas.
My issues with San Antonio is they won't take care of simple things like freeway cleaning and landscape, graffiti, or the current property crime. The freeway landscape they try is ugly, expensive, and messy. (10 and 410 anyone)
But at least we have sidewalks on Wiseman in the middle of nowhere. Complete streets in an urban environment are great, but do we need them every where?
Common sense is not prevalent in policy.
