AURA: An Austin for Everyone
@AURAatx
We want an Austin that works for everyone, with abundant homes for all income levels in all parts of our city, reliable public transit, & safe streets for all.

THREAD: @CM_Natasha_D1 on minimum lot sizes:

"Large minimum lot sizes are steeped in classism and racism and first gained widespread adoption during the Jim Crow era. Austin’s current minimum lot size restrictions were established in 1948. "This existing standard is a barrier to homeownership and exacerbates our affordability crisis.

Both the Strategic Housing Blueprint and the UT Gentrification “Uprooted” study call for allowing smaller lot sizes.

.@BobbyLevinski now talking about why he's running for D8:
Saying that he's a renter and lives in a duplex. He hates sitting in traffic and was car-less for 2 years. Fighting against a sprawl development in Dripping Springs. .@BobbyLevinski saying that he's worked with many people in this room on issues that policy priorities align. Like the ADU density bonus proposal.
