**Corpus Christi city council spent $50,000 on a consultant to tell them our downtown needs more parking, just ask any local who drives there.**
Well, colour me shocked. So our tax dollars paid someone $50,000 to drive down from Austin, stay in a hotel, and tell our city council what anyone with half a brain already knew: we need more parking in the high-traffic areas. This is what passes for "progress" in Corpus Christi—hiring outsiders to state the obvious while our potholes eat my suspension. Wake me up when they start using some common sense.
