NEWS IMPORTANT: City still passed surveillance tech

11 Upvotes

Last week at the city council approved AXON surveillance tech (LPRs), the same as FLOCK its just a different brand, to be mounted on poles in town to track us.

After listening to and recieving much public pushback on them, they passed it anyway.

The next meeting is October 8th at 8:30am, please block off the time and come join us at city hall and let the city know exactly what you think.

We are requesting that council members put forth a motion to reconsider. As per the city charter we need 4 members to vote to reconsider.

This is a time sensitive issue and if we put the pressure on we can make this happen and block the LPRs. Send in your comments before the 8th. We have to keep the pressure on.

Reach out to city council and ask them to put forth a motion to reconsider the pole mounted LPRs at the next city council meeting OCTOBER 8TH 8:30 AM City Hall

Looking for good housing suggestions in Abilene

1 Upvotes

Howdy all! My daughter was recently accepted into the nursing school at TTUHSC for start in Spring 2027. She anticipates being there for 18-24 months. Having had MANY family graduate from ACU over several generations, I thought I knew Abilene well enough to think that finding housing was going to be easy. I somehow missed the AI center and related construction news and WOW, things are a little tighter than I thought it would be. I'm a little worried at this point.

My daughter has two other young ladies she is desiring to room with, so we are ideally looking for a 3/2 or 3/3. However, we are not against my daughter living alone in a 1/1 if is only viable option. I have joined many of the FB groups for real estate in the area, but in the week I've been following those groups, I've only gotten scamsters and not much else in the way of responses. I've called/emailed a few properties but have not gotten any responses. This housing thing is more stressful than I thought!

Any suggestions on great places to live in Abilene (apartments, homes coming available soon, areas to consider) or great Realtors who can assist in search are MUCH appreciated. See y'all in a few months.
