Here it is folks finally! You know I am an affordable housing advocate, hopefully this is real and not just lip service, ie. support for someone or something that is expressed by someone in words but that is not shown in that person's actions. If it is lip service let's show up, be prepared, polite and firm and make some things start happening for the better.

My pet peeve currently other than the general topic is property taxes. They need to come up with a new formula for assessing and charging not based on market prices only.

Got ideas for ATX housing needs? Let's hear them!

Communications & Public Information from City of Austin

Many in Austin are unable to find housing that is affordable. What should we do?

You are invited to engage with the City on a new Austin Housing Plan, the first of its kind. This plan will set numerical goals, timelines, and strategies to increase housing choices available to all Austinites, as envisioned in Imagine Austin.

These are come-and-go events. We’d love for you to stop by at any time. At these events, you can also share your priorities for improving mobility around Austin with the Mobility Talks team: Mobility Talks | Capital Planning | AustinTexas.gov - The Official Website of the City of Austin

The Austin Housing Plan dialogue will address:

(1) How might we ensure our children can afford to live in Austin?

(2) Where should Austinites who work hard – cooking food, watching your children, and caring for the sick – be able to afford to live?

(3) The cost of housing is inter-connected with City decisions around job access, parking, permitting, and housing types allowed. For City leaders, doing nothing different is not an option. So, which changes can we all live with?
