How to Keep Austin Affordable

First

Send California's back

Hah! This report is 1 yr too late.
Austin has NIMBY zoning, yes. But they’ve overbuilt housing and apartments. Will have a huge crash coming. 😂

There are new apartment apartments being built all over north Austin and the suburbs. Is this an issue only in the neighborhoods downtown? I don’t see any problems with apartments complexes being built in the north side of town

Build more housing! And tell the NIMBYs to take a hike.

With Blackrock buying all the houses in the US, owning a home for gen z gets more and more difficult

minimum lot size, setbacks, minimum parking, height restrictions, foot dragging on transit and very expensive costs per mile for transit even compared with that in other very expensive developed countries. this, and the costs to upkeep infrastructure at the current us density, along with defense spending domestically is where the real american debt crisis will come from. i would bet hard against any american city, including austin, in the long run. make money on americans. don't live there.

Those existing homes are on private property and it's called land owner rights. If you want to rebuild an Austin to a new vision, just build the city YOU want next to this one. Problem solved. You guys never suggest tearing down the high rise business district to build housing or a park. Greedy developers are behind this.

Austin will suffer from the same traffic and affordability as California if it doesn’t change its zoning code.

Kick out the rich from Austin.

affording am home in Germany is hard but to make your home warm in winter you have to rob a bank!

It's been solved in Vienna. Why not learn from them?

Grew up in Austin, but won't be able to buy a home here, or start a family, and that's working 45-60 hours a week, doing 2-3 jobs.

Now that California is moving into Texas, we unfortunately are going to lose what made Austin Austin. Vote blue in your state it gets ruined, go to another repeat the process. Cartels have moved into California and of course Texas will have the same problems if people from California keep voting blue.

Mayor Addler didn't help by adopting California policies like allowing homeless to trash the city.

The sheer irony that redlining and prejudiced housing regulations came back to bite the the children of the hateful.
