This is such a win for the city. I read Austin would be the first large city outside of NYC to approve this.

This may, no joke, actually stem from an offhand comment I made to a well connected local campaign manager last year.

All of these land use reforms which have been made the last couple of years are going to be absolutely transformative for the city of Austin over the coming decades, and beyond.

Uh, no. There was a well funded lobby pushing for this. Much more than offhand comments.

Nice to have one of the "front of the postcard shot" buildings turned back on at night. *stares at the ugly behemoth 6G*

Just got back from Vancouver and I saw a lot of Glass buildings on the water and it reminded me of Austin.

Agree! It's nice to see more gaps filling in. Also Austin low denisty development is helping just fill in the city in general. Love to see it!
