Contracts reported
/
43 Zaccheus Mead Lane, 1953 construction, asking $2.695 million. It wouldn’t sell at $2.495 in 2019 but it did sell, to these owners, back in 2007, for $2.7 million.
Do readers need to be reminded that 2007 was the peak of our last housing bubble?
310 round hill road
Further north, 310 Round Hill Road is also under contract, asking $3.550 million. It started at $5.8 back in 2014 and went off for a breather in 2017, so this has been a long wait.
10 armed robberies in 10 days by an 8X felon. In Austin, that's just evidence of a good boy driven bad by racism and mean cops

Our hero David Olmay circa 2016. arrested for a DWI, evading arrest, and a parole violation warrant. (after leading police in a 25-minute chase, with a 2-year-old child in the car).
Prior to this, Olmos has been convicted of eight felonies. Olmos’ most recent conviction came on February 11, 2019, in Travis County for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. That got him five years. He didn’t serve that time.
Olmos was released on November 2, 2020, and was set to remain on parole until October of 2023.
But on April 2, 2021, while on parole, Olmos allegedly evaded arrest in a vehicle from the Sealy Police Department, in southeast Texas near Houston. Sealy police pursued him from that area until the Texas Department of Public Safety took over the chase as he moved west. Troopers pursued him into Travis County where he was apprehended. A source says Mr. Olmos was found in possession of a handgun and methamphetamine. He was arrested once again for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, evading arrest, and possession of a controlled substance.
Just four days later — on April 6, 2021 — Olmos was released from jail on a personal bond despite the fact he was a flight risk (he had just led police on a chase across Texas). The conditions of the personal bond included a GPS ankle monitor he was required to wear. Olmos allegedly removed that ankle monitor, and his personal bond was revoked on May 19, 2021. By then, he was already allegedly engaged in a crime spree.
Olmos would allegedly go on to commit ten robberies in 10 days across greater Austin.
The question residents of Travis County and Austin should be asking is a simple one: With eight prior felony convictions on his record, and a chase just four days before his release on April 6, why was David Olmos free?
That’s a question for Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza. Garza has prioritized prosecuting police officers. He ran on that platform and won his election in 2020. His office put Olmos back on the streets four days after the chase.
Meanwhile, Garza’s hand-picked #2 stands behind this message she sent out to her activist lawyer friends.

mystery woman
She's set up a substack page, and promises to post on it — soon, I hope. While we await her arrival with bated breath, you can bookmark her link now. Sort of like pre-ordering Amazon books.
Circing Back: the posting has begun. The proper link is: https://eosredux.substack.com
The article doesn't explicitly say that the attacker was a Trump-loving, Asian hating, Capitol insurrectionist, but can there be any doubt?

Heading home from a MAGA/Proud Boys rally, there’s still time for a diversion
Elderly Asian woman punched in the face by a stranger
A 75-year-old Asian woman was socked in the face and left with a broken nose in Queens early Thursday, police sources said.
The elderly victim was walking on 57th Avenue near 97th Place in Corona at 3 a.m. when a man suddenly slugged her, the sources said.
She was taken to Elmhurst Hospital Center with a broken nose and has since been treated and released, according to the sources.
It was unclear whether the assault was being considered a hate crime. The motive was not known.
“Motive unknown?” Well, here’s a hint:
Sources on Thursday also gave details on an alleged hate-crime incident from May 19.
A 24-year-old man was inside the 34th Street-Herald Square station when a male stranger snarled, “You are Chinese, aren’t you? Give me your s–t. This is black people territory. I will slit your throat,” the sources said. (The reporter did not include the rest of the quote: “I am striking you because my President, Donald J. Trump, told me to do do. You goddamn China-flu spreader, you.” )
Oh, the humanity. Oh, that awful Trump, stirring up anti-Asian hate crimes. When will it end, when will it end?!
You may have noticed that the whole “Anti-Asian Hate Crime” meme is disappearing from the criminals who control our media. No more videos, no more identifying the race of the perpetrator unless, of course, he’s white, but those are so few and far between that the story is fizzling. Look for the topic to vanish completely in the next few months.
De Blasio to the rich: “stick it up your tuckus”.

Whatever we do, don’t let these people flee to florida
It couldn’t happen to a more deserving group of NYC liberals (is that redundant?) : Appellate Court dismisses suit, clears the way for the Mayor to open a homeless shelter on Billionaires’ Row. 140 winos and crackheads, $50,000 per person, per year.
A homeless shelter is to be created on one of New York City's most expensive streets, after a legal battle to prevent its opening ended in defeat.
A New York state appeals court on Thursday dismissed the concerns voiced by a coalition of residents and businesses from the Manhattan neighborhood by Central Park, nicknamed Billionaire's Row.
Billionaire's Row is not actually one street, or officially defined.
Real estate agents describe it as an area south of Central Park, between 57th Street and 59th Street from north to south, and stretching from 8th Avenue in the west for eight blocks east to 2nd Avenue. Trump Tower is just to the south.
Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York, launched an initiative called Turning the Tide, which aimed to create 90 homeless shelters across the city.
One of the chosen sites was the Park Savoy Hotel, which closed permanently in 2018.

DeSantis: people moving to Florida are “overwhelmingly “ registering as Republicans, including Democrats.
His claim seems more anecdotal than one backed by actual evidence, but it would be wonderful if true. Wonderful, that is, if these new residents are Trump Republicans, and not the GOP strain that over the past decades allied with the Democrats and brought us to our current state of ruin.
BLM fires its self-described "Trained-Marxist" co-founder Patrisse Cullers for self-dealing
/
but you sure can get rich off ‘em
“It’s one thing to join the Nomenklatura”, BLM President Tawana Kunta Kinte told FWIW, “we all wanna do that; that’s why we’re in this business to begin with. But Cullers wouldn’t share — she wouldn’t share! We’re entitled to wet our beak, too, right? But the bitch kept it all for herself, so she had to go.”
Cullors’ abrupt departure from the charity, which serves as the national arm of the BLM movement, came three weeks after the Daily Caller News Foundation reported that she had used her position as the charity’s leader to funnel business to an art company led by the father of her only child. Charity experts said BLM’s arrangement with the art company, Trap Heals, amounts to self-dealing and raises ethical and legal questions.
Cullors “decried what she called a smear campaign from a far-right group, but said neither that nor recent criticism from other Black organizers influenced her departure,” the AP reported.
BLM Global Network had previously offered a vigorous defense for Cullors in April after reports revealed she had purchased four homes across the country for a total of $3.2 million since 2016.
Two other activist groups co-founded and led by Cullors — Black Lives Matter PAC and Reform LA Jails — also made payments to Trap Heals under her leadership, according to campaign finance records previously reported by the DCNF.
BLM PAC paid Trap Heals $148,000 in November to co-produce an election night live stream event on her personal YouTube channel that, according to industry experts, should have cost a fraction of that price to produce, the DCNF previously reported.
The BLM PAC live stream was so poorly produced and riddled with so many technical issues that a conservative watchdog group told the DCNF it is considering filing a complaint with the Federal Election Commission over the “excessive payments.”

It’s reassuring to know that even BLM has some capacity to feel embarrassed. Some.
Westchester design on Westchester border — hey, it could work

38 Locust Road, 1995 construction, is new to the market today (it expired unsold back in 2017) at $4.9 million.
We’re seeing a lot of people crossing the borders these days, though it’s not a crisis – ask Kamala — so maybe this will find a ready audience.
