@LegeLawyer Darn it. I was on the road and missed it. Next time.

Public service announcement: After the rah-rah discovery call for a subscription service, before you sign or, more importantly, pay, review the contract’s cancellation policy and service/performance deliverables. Tired of one-sided contracts favoring the seller. Recently, payment equaled accepting the seller’s terms, even before receiving the PSA.

@TonyLaneNV Prolific and efficient at generating revenue. Never seems to be an issue for them.

@LoewyLawFirm @TxDan_Gonzalez Why it’s not at COTA with F1 sandwiched in the middle makes no sense to me. ACL - F1 - ACL back-to-back-to-back weekends. Actually, I do have an idea why.

@data_atx @bobbyfijan You left off world-class schools. Families want the best possible schools for their kiddos.

[Shawn A Kirkpatrick @skirkpatrick74]

@Luvsatx81 @atxREpodcast Ahh, yes the infamous WUI and fire flow testing. 🙄

[Shawn A Kirkpatrick @skirkpatrick74]

@Luvsatx81 @atxREpodcast Now I have questions. Single-family? Fire sprinkler prohibitions are in the TX statutes.

[Shawn A Kirkpatrick @skirkpatrick74]

@LegeLawyer Could we also get more residential in residential.

Stunning church in Highlands, NC. Walkable, shoppable downtown — great experience today.

View the next 3 nights of this adventure.

I'm off this morning to see a new (to me) downtown. Nothing like a sunrise flight. Any guesses?

@DonovanBuilds @YIMBYLAND 2-4 unit residential in Texas can be brutal. City level development regulations kill so many great projects. It’s a development process nightmare for missing middle housing.

[Shawn A Kirkpatrick @skirkpatrick74]

@LegeLawyer Adding it to my calendar. This sounds like my kind of meetup.

[Shawn A Kirkpatrick @skirkpatrick74]

@NUCLRGOLF “Play it as it lies.” My club does have a local rule.

[Shawn A Kirkpatrick @skirkpatrick74]

Been working on a couple potential development projects pre-LOI. City has a new code, less than a year old. Provided comments prior to adoption, essentially, this is going to devalue some residents property. Yep, it does.

[Shawn A Kirkpatrick @skirkpatrick74]

@LoewyLawFirm Darn good. Best in class.

[Shawn A Kirkpatrick @skirkpatrick74]

I'm in Fort Worth today. What’s new, cool, and actually working in real estate development here? Infill, missing middle, adaptive reuse, mixed-use. What’s worth seeing while I’m in town?

[Shawn A Kirkpatrick @skirkpatrick74]

@PollackAlex @realEstateTrent Been there, done that. I was in the 26 club too. May I add, President of 26.

[Shawn A Kirkpatrick @skirkpatrick74]

@elmachuca Bastrop State Park is an option. https://t.co/yxcseRhLhg

At today’s HBA Bastrop-Caldwell County chapter meeting, missing middle housing got a hidden mention.
Bastrop County median household income sits around $86K. Income needed to buy a $320K new home? Roughly $98K. Sub-$300K new housing options basically don’t exist. That’s the gap in real numbers.

Missing-middle housing in the right locations is exactly what could serve that “missing” segment of residents. Let’s design a code and process so the math works.
