More Affordable Austin

We are so pleased to be a part of such a broad coalition of homeowners, small business owners, current and former elected officials, and community advocates joined together in opposition to Prop Q. This was a tremendous effort by so many which brought together people united in our belief that Prop Q is not necessary and would make our city more unaffordable.  This is especially true for our friends and neighbors already struggling to stay in Austin. Going forward, we stand ready to work with city leaders to advance a comprehensive and systematic review of city operations and programs to maximize the use of existing city tax resources to achieve better outcomes for our city. Ellen Wood, Treasurer On behalf of Restore Leadership ATX PAC and the many people we worked with on this campaign, some of whom are listed below with our great appreciation for their leadership and engagement.

Top contributors to a political committee promoting a city of Austin tax increase on the Nov. 4 ballot overwhelmingly stand to benefit politically or financially from Prop Q funding priorities, such as affordable housing, homelessness, and public safety. austinfreepress.org/tax-dilemma/

I love the smell of bipartisan opposition in the air! Just finished voting NO on Prop Q. If you care about your fellow Austinites who own a home, rent a home, own a business, rent a space to run a business, purchase goods and services at an Austin business, or work at an Austin business, you’ll want to do the same.

Don’t allow people for Prop Q to gaslight you! “This will only be like $350” Below is a property in East Austin (78702) with a 1.98% tax rate valued at $490K The average home sales price in Austin in $600K With the proposed tax increase, taxes would go up by $535…. The math isn’t mathing! For a family living pay check to pay check any increase is bad. Those that ski in the Swiss Alps make comments like “It’s only like $350” … ps I have never been to the Swiss Alps but I appreciate you manifesting it for me
