🚨 LAST CHANCE: survey closes TODAY! 🚨 E Cesar Chavez St could have a new urban trail, protected bike lanes, actual sidewalks, and safer crossings! These changes would be a massive upgrade and need a lot of support, so be sure to fill out the city's survey today:

The "luxury" apartments in question would be 4 times more affordable than buying a $1M Rosedale house, and they would provide funding AISD desperately needs to avoid further cuts to our schools. That's not a luxury–it's a necessity.

The Austin Chronicle@austinchronicle.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Rosedale residents and AISD battle over luxury development.

Building more places to live near transit and parks makes Austin more environmentally-friendly and more beautiful, not less, and the increased affordability makes it possible for more people to enjoy that beauty.

Austin notches another housing victory as the resolution for this set of HOME Improvements passes Council nearly unanimously! Many thanks to @cmkristalaine.bsky.social for leading this item and to all our pro-housing Council Members!

Parker Welch@parkerwelch.bsky.social · 3mo ago

On Thursday, Austin City Council will be taking up a resolution to make several rule fixes for HOME Phase I & II projects * Reduce minimum lot widths * Apply HOME uniformly across the City * Zero out side setbacks where there is space next door * Lower two-unit lot size minimum to 2x one-unit min.

This report shows HOME delivers family housing at half the price of typical builds! That is why this week's HOME Improvements item is so important. We can't give up yet, not until everyone has access to the housing they need. Sign up to support Item 26! cityofaustin.formstack.com/forms/austin...

Austin ISD has a $181M deficit, and plugging that gap requires making the most of every school site sale. Rosedale is the latest must-win. It’s Austin's duty to help AISD net $26M by rezoning for 435 homes. We can’t let anti-apartment opposition force more school cuts. Let AISD build! Read more:

Opposing federal grants for your own constituents is a choice to keep Texas stuck in the past. We need a senator who believes in Texas cities and fights for our future and the transit we sorely need.
