AK will be at the ZNA meeting. You should come. She is pretty approachable. Stand around after the meeting and bend her ear. She gave me her cell and I text her a couple times a year. She is responsive and surprisingly reasonable which is tough for me to say after I signed the petition against her after the Uber fiasco. I think she has come a long way, she clearly sees the writing on the wall of what Austin will eventually be, as opposed to what it was. I think she wishes it wasn't so, but it is what it is.
In one of the last meetings, an old neighborhood progressive literally said "I would rather see 1 (one) million dollar home on one lot than 4 smaller $300k homes" on one lot, because $300k was not affordable. The entire room erupted in applause. Density is a four letter word in Zilker. In fact, the trend is more new single family and less 2 unit new-builds.
