It's golf vs. day care in a battle for the soul of the suburbs!
In the case of Lakeway, Texas, a suburb of Austin, the answer was five. That’s how many children are enrolled in Rainbow’s Edge Childcare, which has become the subject of a 72-hole legal battle since a brigade of golfers complained about the children in the summer of 2021. “There are gonna be toys out there, and they’re right on the golf course,” Lakeway golfer Joe Bain said during a series of city hearings that year to determine whether the day care could continue to operate.
A day care falls somewhere between the two on the neighborhood disruption scale, but perhaps it deserves some special consideration. After all, taking care of kids is a tradition of domestic life even older than golf.
Those are some of the questions King’s lawyers, a pro bono team from the Institute for Justice, have asked of Lakeway’s city council in a lawsuit. The city, the lawyers note, “requires home businesses to meet a list of 19 separate provisions, which are almost completely impossible to achieve.” Prohibitions on visits from clients and stocking merchandise seem to prohibit home baking, tutoring, music lessons, and even some white-collar work like architecture.
Bianca King started Rainbow’s Edge Daycare in January 2021. She’d bought a house in Lakeway the previous year, after being laid off from a corporate job in California. She registered with the state of Texas, renovated her living room, and installed a self-locking fence. The name she got from a Fleetwood Mac song. She passed two state inspections and recruited her neighbors at the playground. The Omicron wave was cresting and parents were scrambling.
“I’m a single mother, and I talked to other mothers; it was a disaster,” she said. “It’s still a hardship. There’s long waiting lists, high turnover. Child care is going through the thing other industries are going through—workers are just leaving.” Nearly 90,000 workers
