AUSTIN CITY COUNCIL VOTES TO BAN BBQ RESTAURANTS

“If this resolution passes, we would be forced to close or move. It would destroy Austin barbecue.” says Aaron Franklin, owner of Franklin’s BBQ in Austin.

Austin, Texas has long been a destination for Americans of all stripes in their quest to find the best barbecue in the nation.

However, if the Austin City Council gets their way, food tourism may soon be a thing of the past.

Austin City Council members passed a preliminary plan in April to put restrictions on smoke from barbeque restaurants. Some Austin residents complain of the barbecue smoke saying they can’t enjoy their homes they purchased before some of these restaurants moved in.

The city council’s current proposal will require smoke diffusers and will also limit the amount of time that restaurants can smoke. These restrictions will require at least $100,000 in extra investments for most barbecue restaurants as they will be forced to buy extra smokers along with severely expensive diffusers, and in some cases will have to lease or purchase more property.

One business expert told council members that these restrictions will certainly kill all but the largest barbecue restaurants in Austin.

It is effectively a ban on barbecue restaurants in a town known for its barbecue.

Of course, these regulations are par for the course for a liberal city. Liberals claim to hate big business and love small businesses, but then they love to place so many regulations on the little guy that the environment becomes toxic to entry level entrepreneurs. The ultimate consequence of these policies is that large corporations and governments are the only entities permitted to operate.

I suggest you get your barbecue from Austin as soon as possible so you can tell your descendants how good it was before communism took over.

"In recent years, some Austinites have also adopted the unofficial slogan "Keep Austin Weird".[13] This interpretation of the classic, "Texas-style" sense of independence refers to: a desire to protect small, unique, local businesses from being overrun by large corporations."

The city didn't have a problem taking the restaurant's money when they granted them a license to operate in those locations.

This sounds like faux hipsters moving into the downtown area, then complaining that they don't want to see, hear or smell anything of the downtown area....

I have a better idea. Just ban Texas. And by "ban" I mean carpet bombing until it looks like the moon.

Then we can repopulate it with something nice, like Mexicans or Canadians.

Holy shit. I knew there have been a lot of California fucks moving to Austin, but holy shit.

>Hey! Why don't we turn this pretty alright place we decided to move to because it isn't as shit as where we were, into the very shit hole of shit we moved from!
God damn. You move to a fucking town known for it's BBQ, music and shit. Then decide, no I don't want that, I want the fucking garbage I had before.

I'm pretty sure the Earth's only hope is if we multi-nuke this shithole from orbit.

By "recent years" do they mean the 1970s? Because that slogan was around back then, gained popularity in the 80s, and by the 90s was everywhere. What stupid auslander faggots think it's something new? All the fucking Californian transplants probably think they invented it. Fucking idiots.

Well, if we're not going to carpet bomb, then "cultural" (sic) annihilation is the next best thing. Hopefully the grotesque Texas accent will be lost to history.

Austin has fell victim to what every other "cool" place in history did. It used to be an eclectic haven within larger red state Texas, now every superficially liberal yuppie and trust fund hipster in the country figured out that it was cool, and while it was cheap, they moved there. Rents go up, people with increasing amounts of income keep moving in, and then the soul that made everyone want to move there is gone and nothing but overpriced coffee, restaurants and condos remain.

You people will fall for anything.

ONE council member, Rentaria, proposed it but it was quickly killed off at the first sign of protest.

Austin isn't banning a damn thing.

Suckers.
