The only thing left on YouTube of this documentary about the proposed development of Austin's Zilker Park is its trailer--someone told YouTube that the content violated copyright law, but the content is just a city meeting filled with citizen protests.

The film had been on YouTube--I simply had used a Google search to get to the trailer. A new version of the film has been uploaded now--though the questions about Austin's mayor and city council remain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NwJLvfPsYE

As an austin native this is beyond tragic and sad. I returned to Austin after a number of years in New York. Although I still like my home town it's sad to see how much has gone away and been replaced with things finance bros or transplants from CA might like.

Zilker is just another domino to fall in what I used to love and remember from my time growing up in austin.

Why is this link a Google search result, that immediately self-closes the tab upon clicking? This is on Firefox on Mac.

Take the current situation with San Francisco as a clear example of where this leads.

Update: Mayor Watson just shelved the Zilker Vision Plan.
