I live downtown (Indy) and do not own a car. Excited to have towers built without a requirement to buy parking spaces. These are going to be some of the most sustainable homes in Austin—lowest impervious cover/home ever possibly, and with half the homes relying on transit/walking/biking—bring it! Hard to argue "But traffic!" when the homes gained through the vote won't have parking. We’re talking over 1,000 homes on less than two acres—this chews up over 200 acres out in suburbia. Sure, it’s disappointing that there isn’t more of an effort to promote urbanism/walkability, but we won’t always have a council member over the district whose top priority seems to be “Stop change!” The amount of NIMBY-curious comments on this thread surprises me.
