Today's Election Day. We're voting for Travis Central Appraisal District Board of Directors for the first time. More information on locations and more: elections.traviscountytx.gov/current-electi… Go vote! 🗳
Incredible. Austin, are we just going to sit here and let Houston own pedestrianization in Texas? 🙂
Austin is making great progress on land use and market housing supply. But if that’s not coupled with acceleration in mode shift, then our development pattern may be cheap apartments+abundant parking+frantic neighborhood arterials instead of car independence+safe walking/biking.
I can't think of a more positive, sustainable alternative to I-35 expansion than this. I'm so thankful for and proud of @AndyBrownATX for leading on passenger rail in the Austin-San Antonio region. Let's get this done! 🚊

Can't believe these cities are't smart enough to run international trucking freight directly thru the city center

Texas has not had a single day without a traffic fatality since November 7, 2000, and many of the deaths can be attributed to this one road. #TxDOTNewsroom #ZeroVision

Similarly, cheap construction quality not only reduces the aesthetic experience (which matters!), it can also qualitatively reduce quality of life through thin walls, leaking ceilings, unsturdy balconies, etc. Cheap on the outside, I can assure you, means cheap on the inside.
Only 41 signatures to go until we reach 10,000 signatures on our main petition 🤠 actionnetwork.org/petitions/reth…

Hey Austin, I know it’s a random Saturday, but it’s also an Election Day! Super short ballot, very fast voting. Please and thank you!
Oh? 👀
There's a great big road that cuts off east from west, mixes interstate and local traffic, concentrates congestion and essentially forces everyone into cars.
NEW: 7 blocks in downtown Houston are going to be permanently transformed into a people-place and pedestrian promenade. From Rusk Street to Allen’s Landing Park. No trial or pilot. Not seasonal. Permanent. If Houston can do it, what’s your city’s excuse? bisnow.com/houston/news/c…
Austin is on the way to unlocking family-friendly (and all kinds of people-friendly) housing! ryanpuzycki.com/p/cities-arent…
AUSTIN SINGLE-STAIR APARTMENTS! Austin city council just passed a resolution directing staff to look at single-stair reform as a part of their 2024 building code update! This is a MASSIVE step toward enabling more missing-middle and affordable housing to be built in Austin!
Austin is making great progress on land use and market housing supply. But if that’s not coupled with acceleration in mode shift, then our development pattern may be cheap apartments+abundant parking+frantic neighborhood arterials instead of car independence+safe walking/biking.
It’s so encouraging to see environmental activists getting involved with housing policy. Housing policy is environmental policy. environmentamerica.org/texas/updates/…
Want to conserve Austin's water? Reduce minimum lot sizes! 👇
Building more compactly on smaller lots, using drought tolerant plants, and making sure our irrigation systems work properly will decrease water demand, keeping more water in our lakes and rivers for people and wildlife alike. #txwater environmentamerica.org/texas/updates/…
This is terrific. I regularly use this crossing and have seen someone hit before. This will significantly boost safety.
That’s why Austin became the largest city in the country to remove parking mandates. Fighting for a more affordable city that is less car centric is what we do here in Austin 🤠
One thing not talked about a lot when it comes to affordable housing is how needing to add parking due to local laws and our cities being so car centric can add 10-15% to the cost of building. Way more if it’s underground parking.
