Poised to figure this out eventually.

@WalkableAustin Or something else? Genuinely curious.

[Tim Derrington @MrDerrington]

@WalkableAustin How so? Guaranteed because one exists (sort of like free speech in the US) or systemic reform that allows for a wider variety of housing inventory and price options?

[Tim Derrington @MrDerrington]

@WalkableAustin @austintexasgov It’s fair to say that tech has affected Austin. Unfortunately, the real estate market has noticed and responded before most neighborhoods and city policy. It’s time to evolve in spite of zoning flat earthers.

@jamesrambin Excellent article. Very exciting to see this materializing in ATX.

[James Rambin @jamesrambin]

sticking my neck out to say that this is very good even though it means people who didn't read the article will email me asking why i want to kill people in fires

@bobbyfijan How are bedrooms getting around the need for an egress window or secondary means of egress at least?

[Tim Derrington @MrDerrington]

@atxREpodcast Great feed! Sadly, your tweets are depressingly on point. I wish the COA would act on this stuff.

[Tim Derrington @MrDerrington]

This should be a wake up call for ATX and land use reform…

@atxREpodcast Generally agreed, but worth differentiating between zoning & building code in this tweet. I tend to agree re: zoning. It’s outdated, contradictory, and complicated largely due to politics. Building code saves lives but is complex & rarely understood (even by the experts).

[Tim Derrington @MrDerrington]

@GonzalesKristie LAND USE REFORM. It’s the biggest issue that only the city can improve & is tied to traffic, cost of rent/housing, accessibility to goods & services, economic opportunities for the real estate & AEC industries, infrastructure, & even homelessness & city culture tangentially.

[Tim Derrington @MrDerrington]

@ken_duda 2 & 3 seem to be disincentives in our culture. I wonder if there is a precedent anywhere for subsidizing landlords at various scales. Imagine the government paying people to provide appropriate housing solutions without the bureaucracy and snails pace policymaking.

[Tim Derrington @MrDerrington]

@JackCraver Don’t know why so many people are looking to Malone as the crusader of their cause.

[Tim Derrington @MrDerrington]

@JackCraver I listened to the whole Malone interview with Rogan to see if I could get actionable info. Seems like the memorable takeaways were that the government is corrupt and so is big pharma. Additionally, there are instances of the vaccine causing negative side effects so does COVID.

@Appyg99 @bchesky AGREED! I’m a host and love Airbnb. That said, the hidden fees are a huge turn-off. Please fix this asap.

[Tim Derrington @MrDerrington]

@investvoyager Why won’t you guys respond to my help requests? I’ve been waiting for weeks and now feel like my only sensible option is to transfer to a more reliable exchange.

[Tim Derrington @MrDerrington]

@CliftonHarness Looking forward to it!

[Tim Derrington @MrDerrington]

@washburj Sure thing. DM me.

[Tim Derrington @MrDerrington]

@atxREpodcast … and only then will the permit office accept an application. This is a 6 month delay amid a housing shortage and inflation further compounding the affordability problem. (End rant). Just wanted to toss this anecdote into the thread for fun.

[Tim Derrington @MrDerrington]

@atxREpodcast (Small rant here) And the city is not helping. We all know this, and yet I’m still surprised by the problem. I’m working on an accessory in my backyard and need to move a power pole. It took 6 weeks for Austn Energy to draw it. It’ll take 4 months for their field work queue…
