I forgive you, Seth....

Thanks, Mike. And by the way, thanks for all your informative posts on Austin transit issues, which I've been following for a while. I have been mostly a lurker here on Austinist, preferring not to g...

Can someone educate me on how these so-called negotiations work between NAs and developers? So, in this case the developer has agreed to block this access, presumably with some sort of gate structure...

Folks, please stop seriously discussing the parking issue--it only lends legitimacy to a fig leaf. Go through the comments, the petitions posted on the city web site, and the HP listserv. You will gl...

Oh, how I dream of a day when every Austin development debate no longer centers around parking and traffic issues, both real and false. If these sorts of discussions don't prove how entirely our city...

M1EK, Thanks for pointing out that irony. I tried pointing out a similar irony during the RG4NC debacle. Namely that maybe if residents had supported density in and around their neighborhoods all alo...

Dear Austin Neighborhood Associations, We are smart, and no longer buying what you are selling: http://austinzoning.typepad.com/austincontrarian/2008/04/this-is-pretty.html#comment-112246152...

It's not pedestrians that Hyde Park really hates, it's simply change of any kind. So I have an idea for Hyde Park: Let's build a giant wall around the neighborhood with no entrance or exit. They can f...

Good work, team! This is exactly the same list I would have come up with, if I were trying to parody indie music blogging. You "spent the last twelve months listening to records" and "going to live p...
