You know, at first glance I actually thought you were being serious. Target is like a polished turd. You can shine it, polish it and perfect it as much as you like, but a turd is still a turd.
I'll bite, which God should I seek and why. Personally I'm a fan of Odin, he promised to rid the world of Ice Giants. When was the last time you saw an Ice Giant? Thanks Odin!!!!
Idk, I’ve been to a lot of places. Some places are considerably worse than others. There are two cities I’ve been to and saw people shitting their pants in broad daylight. Both of them are in California
Those are nursing homes. I know it's a shock to liberal Reddit, but Cali and the west coast in general is a whole 'nother level of suck compared to the rest of the country.
I live in Los Angeles and moved from Dallas. The rampant crime in the nicest parts of Dallas, where I used to live, trounces the crime in one of the nicest parts of LA, where I currently live.
Crime exists everywhere. Google states with the worst violent crime. California won’t be in the top half.
California with its countless beaches, great weather, and fourth largest economy in the world.
I’ve spent plenty of time in California and it’s a great state. It has its pros and cons like most places, and the main reason people have left are the taxes, not crime. Texas is great for people who don’t want to be taxed on their income but don’t mind losing their rights to gun nuts and grifters.
Apparently you never spent time in the Bay Area. It's a war zone. Call me when you find a city that's comparable in the state of TX. Maybe Chicago or NYC are comparable (or wannabe friscos like Portland or Seattle) but that would be it!
I have spent time in the Bay Area and it’s pretty chill. I have spent years in NYC and it’s one of the safest cities in the US. Houston on the other hand …
The only city anyone I have known has been robbed in was Houston. Hilariously, the guy who got robbed was from California and later moved to Austin.
Some people man…
Theres more born-and-bred Austinites there than Californian transplants. There's way less political and economic leverage from transplants than what they get credit for. This shit is on you, not California.
The REI has a security guard with a, GUN! It feels like he's watching me; I don't trust him, My safe space has been violated & my therapist won't take my calls anymore...
Look at the shape of the hole in the glass - it's just a silhouette of *cartoon* Michael Jordan.
He needed gear to get ready for another alien invasion of Loony Tune Land. There was no time to waste. A small price to pay to ensure the safety and freedom of the universe.
It's fine.
I miss taking a shit in front of Maria’s Tacos on S Lamar so much! Fucking California hobos worked their way in and threw me out and now it’s gone…fucking Californians…
It’s not Portland level until you see naked people screaming in the streets or people shooting up on a bus in the open.

And y’all wonder why the top 5 most moved to states in 2023 are conservative. Austin needs law and order and stop and frisk. They need to run 24 and more dna test on the homeless and send them back to their families
You have to pay extra for a sober pat down at Chica Bonita's.
Once you pass out it's free but you lose all the stuff in your pockets, your car and maybe even your house.
lol but the rest of the thread complains that Austin is ruined by the liberal influx. So they’re not moving to you to gain the benefit of conservative policies - they’re moving to you because it’s affordable, and bringing their liberal policies with them
Oh no. Someone broke a window and stole overpriced footwear from a multi billion dollar corporation. Good thing I sold my Nike stock last week. They may never recover.
Bring in small business to fill your streets. Have local residents as the public facing ambassadors of your city. I'm not saying random violence and vandalism wouldn't happen to small businesses, but it is not as easy to feel like you can destroy a local business as it is a multinational corporate brand.
Plus, local business owners care about their neighborhood more. They care about looking out for people on the street. They get to know the residents and non-residents. Relationships are made with the community.
It’s what happens when you live in a Red State with a Republican Governor
Red States are among the poorest in the nation. Kentucky being among one of the poorest
I find it absolutely hilarious that people think that everyone in California Is a diehard liberal. You know there are plenty of conservatives in California right? Also most major cities in Texas have been mostly blue for quite a while. Way before people from California started moving here.
Basically The Warriors these days. My wife’s boyfriends can’t even walk down the street without getting challenged to a street fight.
I saw an Orphan fighting a Furie last Thursday behind the Radio Shack on Oltorf
You had me at "the Radio Shack on Oltorf."
Yeah. Jose gives $10 old fashioned's back there too. Solid deal
i mean.... yeah, i guess....$20 is $20 dollars, right? not gonna turn that down....
There is a taco bell across the street. For twenty you can get a handy from Jose and a full meal. It's a utopia.
Sweet!
I'd get a $20 AND a handy from Jose? A real Jose Handy?!? And a $20? Fuck dude sign me up! I mean $20 is $20 dollars!
Dadgum what a great movie
I still covet Isaac Hayes' (the "Duke's") Cadillac all these years later...
Can we make it an Escape from New York scenario? Wall it up, let the criminals fight it out, and involve Kurt Russell somehow
Snake Pliskin had 24 hours to get the “Hi How Are You?” wall out of Austin and to a safer spot in Waco.
Basically the Hurt Locker. My mom can’t even walk down the street without having to disarm multiple car bombs.
Oh come on. We both know the only thing your mom is disarming are the tug jobs she hammers out at $5 a pop.
My neighbors off leash pitbull challenged me to a fight.
Reddit told me to seek out God when I was homeless and needed shelter. Greek Goddess Nike provided shelter, warmth and clothing.
Target has homeless benefit programs as well if you get hungry, just go grab what you want
You know, at first glance I actually thought you were being serious. Target is like a polished turd. You can shine it, polish it and perfect it as much as you like, but a turd is still a turd.
Lies! Redditors would never recommend to seek out god!
Only when they don’t want homeless shacking up in their backyard.
I'll bite, which God should I seek and why. Personally I'm a fan of Odin, he promised to rid the world of Ice Giants. When was the last time you saw an Ice Giant? Thanks Odin!!!!
Life is so good in Texas, even the criminals are fat as shit.
Thank God our criminals finally grew some balls and quit stealing from local business.
No belts were stolen.
Ha. This is funnier and more accurate than people are giving credit for.
Boom!!! "I love to racism!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV1Mb_DPVtw
If you understood it without context, it's not racist, just true.
If someone called a black dude the N-word, you would understand it without context and is still incredibly racist. What does this comment even mean?
This is definitely not the right way of thinking about things.
Weak
Why is what he said racist?
It’s a stereotype about saggy pants.
Kinda cool they punched out the glass in the shape of a stubby middle finger. It's a clue.
That can’t be. Joe Rogan told us that Texas has freedom and isn’t like California.
Austin is where Californians mostly move and is often called the California of Texas, so yes, Austin is the closest thing Texas has to California.

You mean crime doesn’t exist in towns with a population of 5??
Wait til people find out -*crime exists everywhere*-
Idk, I’ve been to a lot of places. Some places are considerably worse than others. There are two cities I’ve been to and saw people shitting their pants in broad daylight. Both of them are in California
Funny cause I’ve seen it in SLC and Boise…
Go to a nursing home and you’ll see people shitting their pants every five seconds
Those are nursing homes. I know it's a shock to liberal Reddit, but Cali and the west coast in general is a whole 'nother level of suck compared to the rest of the country.

If Long Beach was as affordable as Akron, OH half the country would be trying to move there stfu lol
Lmao I was born in Texas and Cali is infinitely better in every way except bbq. There is no reason I would ever move back to Texas, it's a shit hole.
Think I will stay here in Oregon. You can have the rest of your hallowed country and all it's greatness.
California with its countless beaches, great weather, and fourth largest economy in the world. I’ve spent plenty of time in California and it’s a great state. It has its pros and cons like most places, and the main reason people have left are the taxes, not crime. Texas is great for people who don’t want to be taxed on their income but don’t mind losing their rights to gun nuts and grifters.
Also TX has high property tax, more than double CAs.

I saw a man buy heroin from a baby in Fresno and the baby smiled at me and said he was moving to Austin.
I was that baby.
The delusion you live in 😂
Apparently you’ve never spent time out of Texas, lmao.
NYC is like 5 times safer than Houston. Turn off the t.v. and read any unbiased news source.
Apparently you’ve never been to Ohio
I have spent time in the Bay Area and it’s pretty chill. I have spent years in NYC and it’s one of the safest cities in the US. Houston on the other hand …
The only city anyone I have known has been robbed in was Houston. Hilariously, the guy who got robbed was from California and later moved to Austin. Some people man…
You’re like a Fox News talking point, transposed to Reddit
I guess. I live in the Deep South and that shit doesn’t happen here.
Wanna bet? Where in the South are you? The deep South is the highest crime area in the country.
Memphis, Jackson and Birmingham aren’t real
It happens all the time in the Deep South. What else do you feel like being wrong about today?
Lol, deep south states have highest crime rates. Wtf are you talking about.
Louisiana has the highest murder rate in the country
California has the most shit on the sidewalk.
MFer you ever been to New Orleans?
Louisiana doesn’t have sidewalks.
This shit has me cackling lmao
I see someone hasn't been to Lubbock.
Yeah because of New Orleans and Baton Rouge hood rats.
I understand why people move to Austin and DFW. The rest of the state is either a desert shithole or a literal shit hole.
Theres more born-and-bred Austinites there than Californian transplants. There's way less political and economic leverage from transplants than what they get credit for. This shit is on you, not California.
Lol Austin has always been the most liberal city in Texas, calm down lol
Did you also hit your head when you walked in?
I’m sorry do you know a more liberal metropolitan area in Texas?
Yeah I thought crime only happens in CA not in freedom states like TX, dont the store employees have guns to fight back?
Austin is an extension of SoCal. Thanks COVID…
I know an ad when I see one
I moved here from Skid Row because I wanted to experience arctic conditions.
someone really hates these doors
The REI has a security guard with a, GUN! It feels like he's watching me; I don't trust him, My safe space has been violated & my therapist won't take my calls anymore...
Have you tried taking about your feelings at the Cranklin's drive-thru?
Have you tried putting a service animal vest on your pet crocodile and going to REI then? It’s the only safe bet.
When the Austin mayor goes to California to "learn how to deal with homeless crisis" you knew what was coming. Download the people shit app

Less hate, more funny
The SoCo chapter of Defend R Hoodz goes hard
Thanks Joe rogan
Looks like the Roadrunner needed a new pair of shoes.
I’m almost as wide as I am tall. I had to use 18 rocks to get that broken wide enough to get in.
Nike is really taunting them. Nike, "Just do it!"
Why don't they just buy their clothes like the rest of us online with a credit card we got off the dark web? SMH. No integrity.
Someone dared them to just do it...
They never steal work boots
Nike should do collabs with book publishers, maybe then criminals would read.
The culprit will sell the shoes online to buy shoes online.
This and HEB ran out of Soy, like WTF is this city coming to?
That Nike store could've been my son!
Bro left a looney tunes hole in the door
Clearly you’ve never been to Houston or Corpus….
You guys had me going. I was all amped up to come back home to stack shoplifter bodies outside of the Louis Vuitton.
Lmao
How will ya'll get through this treacherous time
Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?
Look at the shape of the hole in the glass - it's just a silhouette of *cartoon* Michael Jordan. He needed gear to get ready for another alien invasion of Loony Tune Land. There was no time to waste. A small price to pay to ensure the safety and freedom of the universe. It's fine.

Every time the cost of housing increases by $100 homelessness increases by 10%. And every city costs are outpacing real wages, especially in Austin.
I don’t think you’ve ever seen skid row. Maybe the band, but not the place.
And Texas constantly complains about California lol
I hope Nike is able to rebuild. What a tragedy.
You guys are hilarious. You think THAT looks like Skid Row? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Grow up
You should get that tough guy Governor Abbot to guard the door.
Wow, Austin really does just copy Portland.

So sad how many people are fleeing Texas for more conservative states like Mississippi and Northern California.
Northern California is a state?
The libertarian utopia known as the State of Jefferson
Take a Patagonia vest and carhart beanie off the rack for protection and then throw a kayak at him.
Anything is better than letting these zombies ruin this city

Lets send them to you.
Why
Homeless or not most are still US citizens so you can’t violate their rights with what you suggested.
Stop and frisk is sooo conservative
He thought he was being edgy 😩😩😩😩😩
It’s because those 5 conservative states are more poor than high-end democratic states like NY/California/Massachusetts and the housing is cheaper.

Who cares if a bunch of Nike shoes got stolen? Nike is just a bunch of over priced sweatshop crap that nobody actually needs.
I don’t think it matters about the store, it matters that people really just don’t care about anything or the law.
Tolerating crime is never ok. Petty shoe theft can lead to normalization of more serious crimes.

Oh no. Someone broke a window and stole overpriced footwear from a multi billion dollar corporation. Good thing I sold my Nike stock last week. They may never recover.

Poor guys. What a wretched way to live.
OMG someone broke the window to the Nike store!!! Anarchy!!!
That's what happens when you let all the Californians in
Quit copying Portland
But I thought Joe Rogan said he left all of the homelessness behind in LA?!?
Don’t tell Joe Rogan this. He won’t believe it.
All them Californians voting like they did back home…
More like Californians bringing that California money and gentrifying you mfs out your houses

It's a Nike store (or so it looks). Who cares?
