AUSTIN! This is a NIMBY red alert!! ๐จ
Kathy Tovo is a diehard NIMBY and voted with the NIMBYs at every turn during her time on city council. She will absolutely continue to do the same at the state level.
Get your butt out to the polls TODAY and vote for MONTSERRAT!!!!! ๐ค
TODAY is the last chance to vote for @MontserratforTX, a candidate who will fight for Austin affordability, housing, & transit at the state Capitol!
Polls close at 7pm!
Washington unanimously legalized scissor stairs, a building code reform that frees up to 56% more living space per floor.
Less wasted space means cheaper homes on smaller lots.
Most US states banned this since the 1970s for no good reason.
@brennangriffin Right! And all proceeds go directly to AISD, no recapture to the state
So weโre talking about desperately needed funding for local schools, plus new housing and tax base in a high-opportunity area with strong transit access and extremely high rents
feels like a real self-own
not sure what went sideways at ATXcouncil today, hollowing out/killing new density bonus zoning categories while postponing a housing case that benefits AISD by 3 mosโbrutal!!!
storm brought madness (and ๐) with it
the Rosedale case really hurts. $26M to AISD but some neighbors say openly โnobody should have to live next to apartmentsโ
this is the reason housing costs so much
this was simply about creating paper zoning districts โ not applying it anywhere. tools in the toolbox future councils could use
council killed it 5-4. @KirkPWatson , @MikeSiegelTX@Marc4AustinD10 , and @joseforatx voting no ๐คทโโ๏ธ two members off the dais
