This is close to best case scenario for Austin's HOME ordinance IMO. Front setback would need to be 15' instead of 12' but the FAR and impervious cover are about right.

In less than a day, Hurricane Milton has rapidly intensified over the southern Gulf of Mexico, exploding from a small Category 1 hurricane into a Category 5 storm.

Hurricane Milton has rapidly intensified over the southern Gulf of Mexico. The hurricane is likely to strengthen further as it moves toward Florida.

Dozens of DB90 rezonings have been filed since the program was approved in February, totaling 7600 units. Really looking forward to these breaking ground as interest rates come down communityimpact.com/austin/south...

10 years ago, there were fewer housing units in Austin than in San Francisco—Today, Austin has 20% more housing units than SF. Seattle & Charlotte have been steadily closing in and also might be able to pass SF over the next few years.

A graph of housing units by city. Austin starts out below SF, but quickly surges to exceed it. Seattle and Charlotte likewise start below SF but approach it by 2023. Even Denver and DC post strong gains.

Makes sense that they're using drivers for the beginning and end of the journey but not the time intensive middle. Probably cuts down on 90% of the difficulty kevinchen.co/blog/autonom...

Admittedly the residential floor plates are half the size of the parking podium floor plates and they hid 5 floors of parking underground, but I'll take what I can get

New renderings for tower @ Rio Grande & 6th in downtown Austin are up. Only 5 floors of above ground parking for a 66 story tower isn't bad at all
