#1 Austin - Texas' own little Petri dish.

#2 Austin has, I believe, the largest colony of bats in North America, around 750,000 when they arrive, 1,500,000 when the moms have their babies. They live under a bridge. They are not the only colony. The phrase 'bat sh*t crazy' comes from what happens when humans play in their feces. Then, there is rabies. So, they really should not let the homeless camp under bridges. It could really become a scene from 'The Crazies'. I did not see them but I saw a smaller colony near Round Rock.

#3 Many techies are moving from California to Austin. They are driving up housing prices and rents to ridiculous levels. Locals aren't too thrilled.

#4 Austin looked over at San Francisco with the crap in the streets and thought, we want to be like them.

#5 So these people have learned absolutely nothing from San Francisco and Los Angeles...or maybe they have. Maybe their goal really is to turn America into a Third World hell hole.
