This is a really abnormal article to see on hackernews. I generally don't expect to see the politics of a random city in the U.S. here. Maybe because Austin is becoming more of a tech hub? So now the politics of the city seem more relevant to the tech community?

Austin looks like the new cool kid in the town, so many famous / rich people moved there. I expect to read more about it in the future.

        It will come after them. Where there are rich people, there are people who want to exploit them using the government as attack vector.

My take: It's an article about housing issues in a tech hub. Those are plenty common here.
