I feel for you. I fled Austin in 2012 and I can only imagine how much worse it's gotten since then? One of the issues that bothered me was that the Austin City Council was elected at large and not by geographical districts. Thus, Central and South Austin dominated local politics and North Austin was almost completely shutout of the political power base.

Every city in Texas derives its power and authority from the State of Texas, via our Constitution and statutes. Local governments, whatever their form, are creatures of the state, which determines what powers they have, what their obligations are, what privileges they hold, and what restrictions are held to limit their power. At any time, the state can disband any local government, or create a new one.
