@statesman austin should be what round rock resident demands! 🤦

A reader says expanding MoPac is needed because traffic in Austin will only get worse as the city continues to grow. | Opinion statesman.com/opinion/letter…

ATXcouncil passes Item 26 on a 9-1 vote!

we’ve got a pro-housing council 🙏 this HOME Improvements reso is a strong step forward will there be attempts to water it down? yes. will they succeed? 🤷‍♀️ stay tuned

@DrBellinger right. build where services are vs encourage endless sprawl

@WalkableAustin Yeah, makes no sense. Density is the key to actual conservation and environmentalism.

when did “fighting the most sustainable forms of housing” become environmentalism? blocking infill doesn’t stop growth it just promotes sprawl

@seanmorseatx wild bc in the same breath they’ll fight infill housing and expansion of MoPac even though the highway expansion largely follows the ppl we priced out into sprawl. yet @KUT still hands them the mic 🤦

@WalkableAustin They just hate change and pine for their own youths. It’s nostalgia as policy.

@dmweinberg1 how many are there today?

@WalkableAustin asking because I am genuinely curious: how many 3 bdrm and larger units would be in this new proposed development?

AISD needs funding + students. Austin needs housing + tax base. Turning a former school site into hundreds of homes near jobs/transit should be a no-brainer And yes, Council will likely spend the afternoon getting scolded for supporting it. Often, the hardest votes deliver the best outcomes

@MattTanner41 Racial covenants → outlawed → replaced by large minimum lots For decades, that priced out more and more Austinites from “SF” areas We only started reforming it ~80 years later That’s the throughline. More work to do

@WalkableAustin Familiar logic? Point to the current Austin neighborhood that hasn’t allowed African Americans in the last 25 years. You brought this up, not me.

ah yes—“protected neighborhoods.” we’ve seen this movie before

@MattTanner41 Old ad, familiar logic. One can choose to protect exclusionary zoning. Others will work to fight it.

@WalkableAustin You’ve never seen that movie. That advertisement is from 1891. Quite literally your grandfather, and likely his father never saw it. Do you have anything of substance or just this crap?

Multiple sources offered background that added context and it didn’t make the piece. That’s a miss, @statesman

@statesman lazy framing. this is initiating a process—not adopting code HOME was always phased, and no, the wealthiest areas were never meant to be exempt

Austin council to vote on measure that could expand zoning rules into protected neighborhoods. Critics say it is being advanced little public scrutiny. statesman.com/news/local/art…

@nickmlittlejohn @AndyBrownATX judge Brown has been an outspoken leader on connecting ATX to SA 🚊

@WalkableAustin Love that @AndyBrownATX is with us also on rerouting hazardous trains from downtown-we can then use that corridor for passengers 🚆

amazing how we spend billions carving highways through downtowns… just to subsidize growth in yesterday’s cow pastures
