Best Brand-new Idea In Local Politics

East Austin Traditional Neighborhood District

Councilmember Willie Lewis is often misunderstood, but his Eastside TND plan is inspired. If the city's gonna get into the proverbial bed with private developers - which it's done for decades - doesn't it make sense for those deals to produce the projects we want (neo-traditional neighborhoods) in the places we want them (the storied Desired Development Zone) where the private sector is loath to go it alone (East Austin)? Makes sense to us.
