Build Housing. Build Cities. Build the Future. 🏡🏗️🚅🚀
May 6th: Austin ISD will cut 215 educator salaries for next school year as it faces a $181 million deficit. May 21st: Council delays zoning case on Austin ISD parcel until September, preventing $26 million cash infusion for financially strapped district. Great job @mikesiegeltx.bsky.social
Somewhere In ATX@somewhereinatx.bsky.social · 4mo agoIncredibly disappointed at the vocal minority of residents in Rosedale who have been opposing this rezoning. Your "progressive" talk means nothing if you screw over the school district like this. We need the funding. We need the housing.
AUSTIN CITY COUNCIL OFFICIALLY PASSES MISSING MIDDLE ZONING!! Austin will create two new middle housing zones: - Middle Residential (MR): townhomes, cottage courts, single-stair - Mixed Use (MX): mixed use multifamily Huge win for better neighborhoods and more housing options!
Last year I decided I was no longer satisfied just posting about housing. So I started a company with 3 other incredible dudes with the mission to build missing-middle housing at scale. Introducing... The American Housing Corporation It’s time to rebuild the American Dream.
The American Housing Corporation@americanhousing.bsky.social · 8mo agoFor a half-century, America has critically under-built family-sized housing in our most dynamic cities and neighborhoods, rendering them childless and unaffordable. It's time to save the American Dream. Introducing The American Housing Corporation.
If you cheer on the murder of someone for exercising their speech, you are infinitely closer to being a Fascist, than a Liberal.
What Kind of “Abundance American” are you? I’m Abundance Dynamism 🇺🇸
My friend who runs a restaurant in Austin sent me this video of the ads that are playing on Pandora Spanish radio stations. Every commercial kitchen in America is hearing this. Straight out of a dystopian horror film.
"Mom, how did we get so rich?" "Your dad went to every city council meeting and said no any new housing in our city."
TEXAS PASSES 6-STORY SINGLE-STAIR BILL! 🤠 - Legalizes 6-stories, 4-units/floor, in TX state building code - Cities that adopt standard amendments to state building code would by-default legalize 6-story single-stair apartments - Paves way for streamlined adoption by cities
TEXAS SENATE JUST PASSED HOUSING ON COMMERCIAL ZONED LAND STATEWIDE 🤯 This law legalizes development & preempts cities over 150k from imposing - Density limits below 36 unit/acre - Heigh restrictions below 45ft - Setbacks over 25ft - Parking reqs over 1/unit THIS IS MASSIVE
For some reason, online leftists have the hardest time understanding the difference between politics and policy. AOC understands the difference… that’s why she’s a populist in the streets and a YIMBY in the sheets!
Ok, can someone please put me in contact with someone at Kleinheinz. I need to learn more.
Imagine seeing the Texas HSR is cancelled and your first instinct is to chirp at me as if I’m the problem.
China’s High Speed Rail overlaid on the US I, for one, thought we were done rolling over and letting China win on the world stage. We used to build hard things in America, but apparently now we just leave that up to the Chinese.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that anti-abundance folks are incapable of chewing gum and walking at the same time. Nevertheless, these folks never cease to surprise me with their small-mindedness
Me when I drive through an exurban subdivision with no trees or sidewalks
Too many people are like “YIMBY means this”, “YIMBY means that”…. YIMBY means YES to more housing. Literally just Yes, let’s build it. Make it easier, make it faster, make it legal to build.
Blue state cities step your game up
