How will you address Austin’s housing shortage? What regulations will you change to allow more housing where people want to live?

Todd Phelps

Mayor

In order to address Austin’s housing shortage I would of course propose increasing density where it makes sense. I also would consider allowing for greater height in certain areas where it is currently restricted. I would simplify and streamline the building development code as much as possible. I would remove any regulations that we can identify that are hindering more housing from coming online.
