Skylar,
What a great piece. It is an honor to have you in Austin. The only company I use is Lyft and they, along with their investors including Mike Maples, should be proud that they created a system attracting people like you. Sorry for all the gushing but this is what makes Austin, well Austin.
The only thing I would change is that from a transportation system perspective we are already in hell. :-)
Let’s give them the boot and bring in fresh partisan-free, party-less, representatives like yourself.
Respectfully,
Richard
