@RyanAlter there was a shooting near Kocurek elementary yesterday. The neighborhood did not receive any alerts. We only knew something was going on because of a helicopter and the “buy nothing” page on Facebook.
Is there a system in place to sign up for notifications?

Councilman @RyanAlter had a great idea in a meeting with Travis county and AISD
County, city, and AISD all have their own maintenance yards to store stuff, can we just pool our resources and share?
For context: The parks dept wants $85m for maintenance yards in a future bond

@juliogatx It passed. See here services.austintexas.gov/edims/document…

“The city spent nearly 10% of its general revenue budget on overtime last year, compared to 7.6% of the budget in 2021, according to city data. That's a 65% jump in overtime during that timeframe.”
10% and growing=yikes. Wish CM Alter had pushed thru his OT report resolution. 😔

Austin workers were paid more than $143 million in overtime last year, according to city payroll data obtained by KUT News. The payouts are nothing new, but show the city has relied more and more on overtime spending over the last few years. kut.org/austin/2026-01…

Apartment rents in Austin are at roughly 2017 cost levels.
In other words, if you rent an apartment today, you would be paying about the same as 7-8 years ago.
New apartment deliveries are slowing this year. Could be the bottom of rent declines this yr or next.

Austin TX is now back to pre-pandemic apartment rents.
Down 21% from peak in summer of 2022.
$1,636/month --> $1,288/month
(I'm now even seeing 2BRs in some apartments at sub-$1,000)
This rental correction is due to a sharp drop in migration/demand, combined with a surge of new apartment development.
At this point, Austin has its cheapest rents on record relative to income.

@data_atx I do. It brings thousands of jobs (almost all union), millions in annual revenue, and more direct flights with less delays!

Three years ago, Austin elected me to fight for a more affordable, more just Austin.
We’ve delivered real change – even when the state pushed back.
I’m running for re-election to keep fighting for our future. zoforaustin.com
