Calls for ceasefire in Gaza split Texas Democrats

AUSTIN (Nexstar) -- Calls for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas War have driven a wedge between the top two Democrats running to take on U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz.After the Texas Democratic Party unanimously passed a resolution supporting a ceasefire, Dallas Congressman Colin Allred stopped short of echoing their calls."What we have to do in terms of this conflict is continue to try and get humanitarian aid into Gaza to try and protect civilians as much as possible -- but, understanding, this is a war of choice by Hamas. They chose this war, they're still holding over two hundred hostages right now. They can release those hostages, they can lay down their arms," Rep. Allred told Nexstar in a Dec. 4 interview. Demonstrators hold rally, silent protest to demand Austin leaders call for ceasefire in Gaza As a member of the House Foreign Affairs committee, Allred said this is a time for "mature and solid leadership."

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:19:42 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) – Home prices in Austin continue to cool but are still quite high compared to this time four years ago, according to the Austin Board of Realtors November report. The report shows that the median home price in the Austin and Round Rock region – around $425,000 – is down nearly 10% compared to last month. Though prices are dropping, they remain considerably high relative to pre-pandemic princes, ABOR said. “On a year-over-year basis, we certainly saw a decline in November,” said Clare Losey, the housing economist for the Austin Board of Realtors. “However, relative to November of 2019, the median sales price in the Austin [metropolitan sales area] is about 40% higher.” “So overall, home prices are still very much elevated,” Losey continued. Nevertheless, Losey said the depreciation is a welcome relief, “especially to those lower income or first-time buyers who would not have otherwise been able to enter the door had home prices continued to appreciat...
