Comments on: Comment Roundup… http://www.steinerranchinfo.com/blog/comment-roundup/ Your one stop for all things Steiner Ranch Tue, 08 May 2012 15:49:00 +0200 hourly 1 By: Anonymous http://www.steinerranchinfo.com/blog/comment-roundup/#comment-2364 Anonymous Sun, 04 Nov 2007 17:15:00 +0000 http://steinerranchinfo.com/2007/10/comment-roundup/#comment-2364 It saddens me to hear that an establishment, a small business owner (what makes Austin unique!), has the potential of being ousted especially when there is a bar within Lakeside and Tutto Gusto. How do you discriminate against one and not the other? Are folks indicating that they would prefer Steiner, a part of Travis county, be dry? What about the "bar" that will be opened in the UT Golf Club? Just what exactly differentiates between purchasing 6 bottles of wine at The Market and drinking/driving in our community after a neighborhood party vs having a glass or two at Fion, Tutto Gusto, the UT Golf Club or LakeSide? Just curious to know what the defined levels of discrimination are for this discussion.<br/><br/>Furthermore, you have just as much potential of being hit by a soccer mom focusing on her children and not the road, or, better yet, a drunken boater returning to town via Quinlan Park. We have two county parks at the end of this neighborhood along with two boat ramps. These features alone draw far more "non-Steiner" people into this neighborhood. <br/><br/>If this ends with the result of closing Fion then I believe we will be taking our money elsewhere so we can raise our children in a "community" where discrimination is not a guideline within the HOA. <br/><br/>BTW, I have never been to Fion. I am simply outraged by discrimination especially when there is no evidence to support the claim.
