I think Ora Houston has a good heart and in her own way she probably still thinks she did her constituents a service by opposing the previous version of this project, but she lacks a vision for the future. That seems to be a theme with several of our current (and past--can't blame it all on 10-1) city counselors. Instead of guiding the city forward, they struggle to hold onto the past. That's not a problem when something precious is at risk of being lost, but I can not see how that could be the case here. I wish we could have a council that manages to find a balance in this regard rather than always opposing projects because "that's what we do in Austin." This is a huge missed opportunity.
