So you think it's a Chamber of Commerce thing then?
No. The city leaders are actually (or claim to be) worried about it. The code word they use is affordability. The mayor gave a speech at a luncheon I attended and indicated that his three biggest concerns are water, traffic, and affordability. There's not enough water, the highway system isn't a system at all and is grossly inadequate, and the city proper has become a very expensive place where only white professionals and trustifarians can afford to live.

The mayor should tour some other cities and witness the glory of 'affordable housing '

No shite.
I don't personally have a problem with it.
I'm just explaining why SJWs made that sticker.

That's crazy stupid. Expensive housing means that those moving in most likely have more disposable income, thus creating a better economy.

The gentrification
from my perspective it has had a profound effect on the cost of real estate (both to rent and to buy) throughout the entire city. The lack of a "bad part of town" means everything is inflated.
counter to that, there has been an impressive growth of small businesses on that side as the flight has created a gap. It's created a sense of "safety" (or safer) for potential customers, all the while the commercial rent hasnt quite caught up yet, triple net/rent is attractive compared with the same size building 1 mile due west.
MDU's & resi-mercials are popping up at an alarming rate, which is good/bad. It helps that Austin has a large hipster demographic...they seem to be more open to living there, the white collars come in a few years later....which is where we are now

It depends on the amount of native in them. The ones who are mostly Spanish are white. The sawed-off little troll looking ones aren't; they're mostly Mayan.

i seriously doubt a legit racist today would even THINK of using the term "colored" unless they're 70+, and no way somebody 70+ designed that sticker

90% chance at least it was a SJW or minority trying to create racism, and then when people react like i am, they at least get the moral victory of claiming this is a display of white privilege and institutional racism existing in the us today
Exactly a minority had to be responsible for this. Just like when the blacks passed them Jim Crowe laws and blamed it on the white man. You mother frickers are pathetic.

but this REEKS of being perpetrated by minorities,
i thought that was patently obvious when i saw it (and even upon first reading the OP subject line). no doubt in my mind. shameful if [and it most definitely is] the case.
