@YIMBYLAND Where are the balconies? This is a condo in Austin — outdoor living is a must!

@ConorKenny Does this mean 9th street might reopen again one day?? 👀

YIMBY valentines to send to your crush 💘

NEW: Dallas-Fort Worth has surpassed Austin as the Texas metro with the highest average rents.

It's the first time since at least 2015 that Austin has not held the top spot: https://t.co/l08dULcB3d

@TheATX1 Good call.

From where we’re sitting: mid-rise projects are more interesting than super-talls anyway since — strung together in walkable districts — they can make the city a more dynamic place to live (in more places) than any glass tower can.

@PaigeForAustin @Austin_Police @austinfiredept @ATCEMS @KirkPWatson It’s about time — our first responders deserve a headquarters that reflects their importance to our community

If single-stair were legal in Austin…

A 44 foot wide 6-plex. This can fit in *many* single family neighborhoods and lots ... and it's pretty

Ever wondered why you don't see buildings like this in Austin? One reason is our building code doesn't allow "single-stair" buildings, forcing builders into massive, inefficient designs. Staff is currently working to change this, but we need 5 big amendments to make it work 🏤 1/

@sam_d_1995 Re: density…

[sam @sam_d_1995]

it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it

they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting.

YIMBY policies work

@pushtheneedle @jamesrambin It’s true: Paris has an impressive rail network. Makes you wonder what Austin will have with another 2,095 years to work on it….

How duplexes made room for more neighbors and cut the tax rate for everyone in this suburban community https://t.co/s7rBKO5jMl @YIMBYLAND

We're making childcare WAY more accessible (🧵)

For decades, building childcare facilities hasn't been allowed in most of Austin (yellow/red). My first item of 2023 is changing this. Now, nearly our entire city will be zoned for childcare development (green).

in west downtown, these two buildings are quietly trying to show us a better way

I made a new Project Connect map to show Phase I of Austin's upcoming light rail project, keeping the original line colors.

“If regional stakeholders hope to increase #housing near #transit, a diversity of reforms scaled to community needs is necessary. We find that 3 types of reforms could be most effective:
•Multiply
•Missing Middle
•Plexify”
