@data_atx Agreed! Just extend the road diet across the bridge to the zilker entrances. Then we have space for proper ped/bike safety on the bridge

Save the Barton springs bridge! The city wants to drop $50+ million to totally replace it. But the bridge is fine! It’s rated ‘fair’. There are minor issues on top that can be repaired MUCH cheaper I don’t always agree with Bill bunch, but he has bridge pilled me on this

One of the main reasons Austin traffic keeps getting worse is the routine conversion of car lanes into bike lanes. For years, Austin telling residents they should bike to work. About 1% of Austin commuters bike to work. About 75% drive. The city's response is a new downtown transportation plan -- estimated at up to $1.1 billion -- that reduces car lanes further.

It's laughable yes. But have you ever put a data scientist, a mathematician, an mba and a literary type in a room and tried to discuss the terms "model" or "entity"?

This guy doesn't understand Texas geography. Woodlands has deep piney soil. Most suburbs are going up in areas with much thinner soil. On a 1/8 acre lot its impossible to build a home around an old live oak or pecan and have it survive. I've seen several builders try.

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.
