Austin Business Journal: No time to 'chill out': AURA dissects CodeNEXT map

“We are in the midst of a housing shortage, and our leaders are not doing enough to fix it. This is not a time for Austin to ‘chill out.’ It’s a time for all Austinites who truly care about addressing our affordability and mobility challenges to demand the positive changes we need,” attorney Stephanie Trinh said on behalf of AURA in a blog post.

“The CodeNEXT maps revealed yesterday are so deeply flawed that further tinkering block by block around the edges of a few neighborhoods and corridors will not be enough to enable CodeNEXT to meaningfully address Austin’s worsening affordability, mobility, environmental and segregation problems,” said Josiah Stevenson, a member of AURA’s Working Group on CodeNEXT.
