Alexander Strenger
Mayor
Like, I said earlier, the massive tax breaks that we give to large real estate firms and multinational companies are a core component of our descent into unaffordability. When I get elected, all new companies coming into Austin will have to pay their fair share of property taxes if they wish to operate in Austin (unless they incorporate a 90% local hiring process) and all developers have to either allow the number or required affordable housing units on their property or pay a substantially higher fee in leiu, so that our affordability costs don’t get levied onto the tax payer.
