I'm glad these three are moving forward; density is for sure one of the ways we fight the housing crunch in Austin. And FWIW, I look forward to the Travises and the supertall getting approved as well.
That said: the city's got to get moving on a plan for Rainey. While the combustion engine may or may not be long for the civilized world, personal vehicles surely are here to stay. It's folly to ignore them as part of a balanced planning approach. We can argue about the mix -- what to emphasize, what to incentivize -- but neglecting the dominant mode altogether is just going to end in tears.
I'm pretty confident it can be done in ways that don't suck, we've just got to get to it.
