Alexander Strenger
Mayor
We as a city need a comprehensive land code that the people of Austin have a direct say in. Over ½ of the people on our current planning commission are connected to the real estate industry in some way, shape, or form and as a result Code Next contained biased, confusing language that favored developers and hurt both the citizens as well as the environment. Our land code needs to be drafted by the various neighborhood planning commissions here in Austin in order to ensure fair housing that is conducive to environmental sustainability.
