We just passed a City initiative to make it easier for neighborhood cafés like Rosy’s to open across Austin.
Rosy's is a perfect example of how walkable neighborhood spaces help people connect, build community, and combat isolation.

Wondering why housing costs are so high? Watch @jamestalarico.bsky.social reveal how outdated rules and red tape keep us from building the homes Texans need, as he makes the case for the single-stair bill that went into effect this very month. This is a great example of pro-housing leadership!
