the most important texas house race in the state. go montserrat! hd49 montserratfortexas.com

@jamesrambin love that old austin/high tech theme

city of austin site was rad in 1997

@RealPhilycheese the choice here was 150 homes with 15 affordable vs. 12 single-family homes with zero affordable. one adds supply and some income-restricted units, the other guarantees scarcity

@WalkableAustin A few things 1) apparently the developer has a history of not building much affordable housing at all. If you’re going to enter to an area like that then at least 50% needs to be affordable and that’s non negotiable. 2) it’s noted how many outside speakers there were and it’s

austin can’t say we need housing + tax base then side with whoever yells loudest against both. these decisions add up austinpolitics.net/nimbyism-is/

@MattTanner41 you can dismiss the writer, but the math doesn’t care. when a city underbuilds, prices go up and displacement follows here’s another example from the same neighborhood jasonstanford.substack.com/p/worst-possib…

@WalkableAustin You guys can’t point to biased sources parading as “journalists/informative”pushing the same narrative you are as proof and expect to be taken seriously. He doesn’t even live here.

@MyMusicXMeMusic @TheATX1 “Out of place” here just means “let’s push it to Liberty Hill and guarantee more traffic.”

@TheATX1 Looks ridiculously out-of-place, and the traffic from its residents would create a clusterfudge on Burnet Rd.

Plans for a six-story apartment complex with 400+ units were discussed at yesterday's (03/17) Zoning & Platting Commission meeting. The site is currently home to the former AISD Rosedale elementary school near 49th & Burnet. NIMBYs showed up in full force to speak against this at the meeting while wearing matching "Play Fair with Rosedale" shirts. The rendering is poor quality because it was a screen grab.

@TheATX1 yeah one of the head NIMBYs is an architect and loves to crank out “be afraid” renderings (did it a lot during CodeNEXT). this is the only thing from the applicant

passed with all but one supporting staff’s recommendation 🙌

dozens of homeowners in matching shirts showed up against AISD Rosedale rezoning for 400+ families 🤦‍♂️

@AndrewTollemach yea great times

@WalkableAustin It was cooler back in 1830

good thing 1840 austin didn’t have sf zoning

@bart1cus @kpb_rolling please name one great city on earth w “easy parking”

@kpb_rolling @WalkableAustin Definitely. And need easy parking / access and more affordable hotel options for extended stays. Can you imagine having to stay for treatment over a game weekend or perhaps texlege session or SXSW?

disappointing to see the long awaited @UTMDAnderson downtown plan fall apart. Can’t blame them for not wanting to navigate 10 years of I-35 construction, but hospital, Austin, UT and patients lose out

this is on the Mar 26 ATXcouncil agenda. glad to see work ongoing, concerning planning dept hasn’t brought anything substantial forward in two yrs! austin needs missing middle zoning!

legalize housing

@MattNovacek @UTMDAnderson heartbreaking. and the 2000 vote lost by less than 1%. opponents would say “this won’t even open until 2007” like the future was some imaginary place

@WalkableAustin @UTMDAnderson I think it’ll always be a big “What If” if the 2014 light rail plan had passed, and light rail was already running there (probably for the last several years).

@sfrancisatx @UTMDAnderson wild we have to vote for transit, but get no real say in a massive i-35 expansion built to serve hundreds of thousands of future suburban homes. and when those finish? induced demand will mean… widen it again

@WalkableAustin @UTMDAnderson we could have spent all that i-35 money on transit instead.

@statesman great news! this area has long wanted to. be more.

Starting August 2028, a 14-floor housing complex directly across from the law school will house more than 300 students a year. statesman.com/news/education…

@NicoleNosek417 @Burrows4TX @DanPatrick @GregAbbott_TX @SenBryanHughes @GatesforTexas @TeamBettencourt @ColeHefnerTX best of all is this is just the start!

goofball takes on housing like this are why we’re in a housing crisis

@jeffshaw00 Nope. Just someone who thinks cities should work.

@WalkableAustin It feels like you are from California. Are you?

Austin needs reinvestment, tax base, and housing, yet staff cited incorrect 2018 height limits to oppose it 🤦‍♂️ Thankfully, Planning Commission approved it. 🏗️
