Every politician in a housing constrained market should be making this exact point. Boomers love nostalgia- that’s the point of “Neighborhood Character”. But we can’t legally build those same homes anymore. And if you don’t want more of those classic buildings, then you really are just a NIMBY.
"Without case-by-case zoning relief, the current zoning code effectively declares that nothing should be built in Boston that looks like what is currently in Boston."
99% of all residential parcels in the City would be illegal to build today under modern zoning.

We had a blast taking the @capmetroatx.bsky.social Rail to the Austin FC match last week! 🚊
Taking public transit meant no traffic or parking stress— just great company, and a cleaner ride.

Big win for Austin housing today!
We just passed the Single Stair ordinance, allowing single-stairway designs in multi-family buildings.
Proud to co-sponsor this with my colleague, Council Member Chito Vela.

Great news! SB 840 passed out of the #txlege Senate today on a bipartisan vote. Excited to see underdeveloped and out dated commercial properties be revitalized across Texas!
SB 840 would allow mixed-use and multifamily housing to be constructed by right in commercial zones. This would be especially helpful for converting office buildings in residences. There are a lot of physical barriers to conversions, but the legal barriers make it impossible.

Had a great time at the CNU-CTX Annual Luncheon discussing how we design cities for everyone—not just drivers. 🚶♀️🚲🚌
