No it is not common. This is an old law that the city council still has not changed even after the city has grown this much. It has caused a lot of problems for the city as groups like "Save Austin Now" have really put some radical ideas on the ballot. I am still mad at these groups for their lies on how Austin was helping the homeless. The proposition against the Homeless set Austin back years. It has no plan to help the homeless. All it did was kick them out of their homes and into the woods where there was a bigger wildfire threat.
