Followup: Austin City Council Votes To Purchase Wilco Homeless Hotel

Today (not yesterday as the Statesman had reported), the Austin City Council voted to purchase the Candlewood Suites Hotel at 10811 Pecan Park Boulevard over the strenuous opposition of local reasidents. The vote was 10-1, with only Mackenzie Kelly voting against.

Condolences to area residents who are sure to see crime and disorder skyrocket. Here’s hoping Williamson County sues to stop the purchase.
