Austin has some of the worst segregation and wealth disparancy in Texas. Also Has the highest cost of living and least amount of affordable housing in the state  Mimicking SF Seattle etc  

what is different about our leadership vs the rest of the state?  Hmmmm. Vote for change, the status quo got us here

Making this about party politics is a huge mistake. This is a central Austin vs, everybody else thing, regardless of your political leaning. That’s where the current land development code and the last 80 years of politics have concentrated power. Beware of candidates getting a huge amount of $$$ from the core.

Mostly agreed.  Politics might have led to some of the conditions, but pure and simple this is an attempt to "make er'rbody" happy by didactically ineffective additive policy.  I saw this shit up, down, and sideways in state auditing.  CodeNEXT is a bloated, feckless piece of Jabba The Hutt heavy, awful, micromanaged garbage.  Typical of shitty government.  Which, regardless of politics, the Austin City Council is in exponential quantities.  God what a fucking beatdown of overregulating and bloated bullshit.

Adler's a dumbfuck, but a stopped clock is right 2X per day... he's right about shitcanning it.  It's uselesss bullshit.  $8 million in used toilet paper.

I doubt if Cronk will have the skill to pull of some really meaningful land code policy, but he gets paid to do this shit exactly.  Let's see it, Spency Boy.

Killed 8/9/18.  Council blew it up.
What a fucking piece of idiotic, feelgood, useless garbage.
Now $8 million later, they got nuthin'.  Zilch.  Zero.  Zip.
Stop trying to suck everyone's dicks and grow some balls to make land development sensible.

Even if Kronk can pull a rabbit out of his hat, and somehow lead this circus into something, anything close to sensibility, how long will it take? 

I'd imagine 3 years would be the fastest anything could happen. But I highly doubt it.

yep.

more than $8m down the drain...

council members looked for assurances that they had not wasted taxpayer money on the project.

“From my perspective, what we are talking about is a reboot,” said Council Member Ann Kitchen.

 

No goddamit Ann, you all fucked it up beyond all belief because you let every god damned interest group dictate what codenext needed to say.

as a coucil you fucked this up.  Yeah it was implemented before the 10-1 rule, but you let it keep building and building and charged the city more than 8 FUCKING MILLION DOLLARS to present something that was fucked up, you decided it was better to just trash it entirely rather than amend the project

I like that "reporter" Michael King yesterday, in the Austin Chronicle, villified the certified petition to audit the city independently at a cost of nearly $1.0mm because it's wasteful, redundant, and led by non-progressive citizens who may just be looking to shake up City Hall.  Guy was completely and utterly silent on the total waste of money that is CodeNEXT.  Hint Michael, it's not just the $8.0mm it costed us to generate and review it.  But perhaps a few million more to vet it, edit it, revisit it, debate it, review it, and vote on it (several times).  The number of "staff-hours" spent on this thing, just at Council level (let alone rest of City departments) easily heads towards 10,000 hours.  

But hey Mikey, we can't all be hacks.

If the city does not plan to densify the land around the Green Line, then what is the point of the Green Line?

That street is a short distance from the intersection of the proposed Green Line and MLK/969, which is one of the largest rail and major street intersections in the area.
