A wealthy Austin neighborhood has ‘given the finger’ to the state’s capital and voted en masse to leave the city amid a spiraling crime crisis.
Lost Creek, a rich enclave in the west side of Austin, saw an overwhelming majority of 91 percent of residents vote to break away from the city during a May 4 election.
Many never wanted to be part of City of Austin to begin with when it was annexed nine years ago in 2015.
