I am a plaintiff in a lawsuit to stop the City of Austin from giving $354M in future property taxes to Endeavor Real Estate Group. The old Statesman property is prime land in the heart of our city. The $354M is just more profit for Endeavor, taken from taxpayers’ wallets.
Quick question here for #atxcouncil.
Endeavor Real Estate wants you to think we're lying about the TIRZ being a sketchy deal. They also want you to think a parking garage for their luxury condo tenants is a benefit for the rest of us 🧐 We're here to fight for the best outcome for ATX. Endeavor's here for the $$$.
The South Central Waterfront developer is resistant to providing affordable housing as part of their planned luxury development. "Endeavor is a massive luxury developer, we don’t buy that they can’t build more affordable housing and you shouldn’t either." theaustinbulldog.org/ladybird-devel…
This afternoon at @ATXCouncil : @kathietovo suggests speakers on the Statesman PUD item be allowed to speak for 2 minutes instead of just 1 due to the PUD's complexity, @MayorAdler waves off her suggestion. Hmmm. Sorry, ATX citizens #yourminuteisup
TB to lobbyist Richard Suttle's face at Parks Board last week: TWF you get your a$$ handed to you in the form of a 47-page amendment to your environmentally questionable draft PUD. Statesman PUD is on #atxcouncil agenda today, item 93 &105. Will council fight for Lady Bird Lake?
That's a bare 4% affordable units. The 2016 Vision Plan for the South Central Waterfront calls for 10-20%, but now developer Endeavor has backed off. The landowners (Cox Family) are the 5th wealthiest fam in the US - do better, y'all.

Limits public access to parkland 🌳 and bat viewing 🦇, increases impervious cover, avoids water quality regulation, and sidesteps the Heritage Tree Ordinance: The "superior" Statesman PUD plan is a total joke... on Austin. austinmonitor.com/stories/2022/0…
👏👏Last night the #austin Parks Board unanimously passed a detailed amendment to the Statesman PUD ordinance to protect parkland and water quality at Lady Bird Lake from developers and lobbyists who don't think they should have to play by the rules. #nospecialdeals #atxcouncil
