I imagine that the Governor withholding funds for Austin and Travis County based on our sanctuary city position will motivate many agencies and entities that are holding valuable real estate to sell them sooner rather than later. Usually these agencies move at a glacial pace. But there is a lot of money wrapped up in that piece of land. I know this was already in the works before the whole sanctuary city/Hernandez spat with the Gov, but I'm glad they are moving forward with the sale. I was never in favor of a courthouse there.

BTW, I'm not trying to start a political debate - I don't really care which side people are on; you do you - I'm just making a general cause and effect observation which is probably off base anyway.
