Residents in the Austin neighborhood are continuing to voice their opposition to a plan to move migrants into the fieldhouse at Amundsen Park, with a new legal strategy playing out.
While the mayor’s office says the plan to use the fieldhouse as a shelter remains on hold, residents say that they are being adversely affected by the delays. “You’ve been absent. You have not shown up for us,” she said. “You’re asking us as taxpayers to step aside and to allow this to happen. We say no.”“He hasn’t even made his way over here to Austin and he lives here! He has not one time called any of us to sit down and have a conversation to ask us how we felt,” she said. “To ask us if we had any suggestions. To ask us are there any alternatives.”
