After years of costly struggle, residents of the Lost Creek neighborhood in Southwest Austin finally got their wish: They no longer have to be Austinites. And another person – yes, one single voter – decided the same outcome in River Place , another Southwest Austin suburb. That area will also be removed from the city’s jurisdiction.
Most people living in the Lost Creek neighborhood never wanted to be annexed by the city of Austin, but the city’s insatiable appetite for land and taxpayers could not be stopped.for the proposition, were rising property taxes and declining municipal services. Rather than pay the city for service that residents view as lackluster, they will instead, in some cases, contract with private entities to provide those same services – like wastewater management and trash collection .
Along with Lost Creek and River Place, voters living along Blue Goose Road in Northeast Austin also voted to disannex . Two disannexation propositions failed because no one voted for or against. People living in the Lennar Malone neighborhood in South Austin were the lone exception – they voted overwhelmingly against leaving Austin .
