Free Radical is a loosely organized, semi-underground source of dissent to the Good Old Boys mentality that pervades both Lubbock and the greater Texas Panhandle. Think of us as a supplement to the local media, filling in whatever voids they choose to avoid or ignore. The hope going forward is that we can become a hub of sorts for the various progressive voices in Lubbock. We're starting out small and concise but are working on more to come, and we welcome you along the way!

Amortization, in a nutshell
<p>Why is amortization important? There may be zoning changes in the near future, two Universal Development Codes (UDC) meetings are coming up at the end of this month and next, but without an amortization statute even if the zoning changes, older industrial plants would be grandfathered in with few ways to move them. In this mini-episode, we explain what amortization is and why it's an important tool in getting rid of industrial zoning around residential areas in North and East Lubbock.</p>

The Wrong Side Of The Tracks: Segregation and Industrial Zoning
<p><strong>Historically, railroads in the US were used to connect cities, speed up commerce, and... segregation. Lubbock is no different, and while the city would rather forget its history of segregation and industrial zoning, it is still very much a reality to this day. Consider this a general overview as well as an intro to a topic we plan to expand on in the future.
