@jamesrambin I live/lived in those areas for the vast majority of my life.
There are literally 100’s of apartment complexes throughout those areas.
To say there are no apartment complexes there is a abject lie. There are literally 100+ within 2 miles of where I live(steck & mopac).
@WalkableAustin 183 & duval is D6.
So we get 1000’s if units in the western districts that won’t crush low income home owners.
Is this a bad thing? I’d love to hear your opinion.
Housing? 👍🏽? Burning down the city? 👎🏽?
Realistic solutions, please!
@WalkableAustin Develop sites 183/mopac west of Mopac & east of moapc. (D 6 &7)
Redevelop indeed campus at 2222 and 360.(d 10)
Redevelop sears at Hancock & Barton creek.(D10/9)
Also 3M campus off 183 & duval.
Would ⬆️ 1,000’s of units & not destroy ATX in the process.
Ur welcome.
@WalkableAustin Can you give the intersection to where this is? If it’s in a reasonable spot, 100%. But if it ⬆️ taxes then no. Looking forward to ur answer!
@jamesrambin U may be able 2 lie 2 people who don’t know AtX but not those who do.
We need ⬆️ 🏠,yes.
But your lies are so easy to pick apart that it’s sad.
Let’s make actual solutions that don’t ⬆️ the cost of living.
Build 🏠 in areas that need it that don’t ⬆️ taxes.
@EvilMopacATX My guess would be 12 years $2 billion. All of that could go towards taking people OFF the roads.
How bout put that towards a central Texas rail system that could take tens of thousands of 35 per day?
@ZodiacKodiak@WalkableAustin This reminds me of the CCR song “fortunate son”, your only answer is more, more, more but it only gets worse.
Taxes? Fix that problem yet?
I look forward to our next chat on the twitter sphere as well as the day that your plan actually starts working.
@john102414@ryan6351@KVUE I don’t know what Austin you are talking about but 5 miles from zilker doesn’t even get you past Allendale. You do know that ATX goes past 45th street, right? Around 17 miles north of 45th st(and where the bulk of ATX is).
Do better, John. Learn about where you moved to.
@ZodiacKodiak@WalkableAustin If only those cities had to deal with our reality. Comparing Paris or NYC completely misses critical development facts that make comparisons to ATX nonsensical.
But again, facts.
What about taxes? Clearly you know how to deal with that, right?
@ZodiacKodiak@WalkableAustin And yet, we have the densist parts of the state here but we are the least affordable city outside of Cali.
Why is that?
Also, you still haven’t answered my question about taxes and the unique features of ATX that make your NYC dream impossible.
@ZodiacKodiak@WalkableAustin Lol learn about where you live. The tens of thousands of people you speak of represent people who think, like you do, that we should be something we never wanted to be.
You clearly have much to learn about Austin, I encourage you to leave your bubble and see all of it.
@ZodiacKodiak@WalkableAustin You clearly do not live in the same part of town that I do. That’s obvious. Do you even go outside of your bubble? Clearly not.
How about go outside if your council district(guessing it’s 5, 8, or maybe 9) and see the city as it is, not what you want it to be.
@ZodiacKodiak@WalkableAustin Who would want to live that close to downtown?
I think you need to learn more about where you live instead of forcing it to be what you want.
It will@never be NYC cause it can’t. Do we need more housing, yes? But, again, show me where that has worked locally. Please?
@ZodiacKodiak@WalkableAustin Look at the costs of those areas in 2006 and tell me that’s the case. We need more housing, yes, but your plan has failed.
Also, you obsess over south austin, which is less than half of Austin. Look north, “cowboy”, you could learn something.
@ZodiacKodiak@WalkableAustin Most people like density? Clearly, you are not from here. Most of us wouldn’t want to live in those places. We want to live in nature, which used to be affordable. Until your lot came to town.
@ZodiacKodiak@WalkableAustin If you knew the yellow areas you would know that there are literally 1,000’s of multi family spaces in that. I literally live on a street that is only multiplexes and a huge apartment complex.
I also am less than a mile away from hundreds of multiplexes and apartments.
