Is voting for Whitmire's budget good for affordability?
Panzarella ran on promises to improve affordability, build coalitions and make getting around Houston easier and safer. houstonchronicle.com/politic…

The Texas GOP nominee for Railroad Commissioner is mostly campaigning on how he wants to deport law abiding Muslim American citizens.
For every ten stories about Platners dating life maybe we can get one on this Klansman?
Roll in with ICE and round them up. They all need to be denaturalized and deported.

Just had a conversation with Senator John Cornyn at the airport.
I was very gracious & asked him to pass the SAVE America Act.

Reminder that John Whitmire helped Republicans gerrymander Texas in 2003.

Houston Controller Chris Hollins certifies Mayor Whitmire’s $7.5 Billion budget proposal ahead of council vote. Controller says certification is a legal obligation, not an endorsement, while raising concerns about the city’s reliance on utility revenues and long-term financial sustainability.

Bet you'd like a TIRZ like this.
Looking at you Montrose TIRZ.
Residents spoke up about traffic concerns and we listened. New stop signs, lane taper adjustments, and a right turn only lane have been added along N. Durham and at 12th Street intersections. Drivers in the area should take note and proceed with care.

The city is handling the world cup as smoothly as ever it appears.
Tried walking from downtown to the FIFA Fan Fest. Got rerouted by construction like 4 times. It’s very hot. I’m sure none of the bajillion tourists will have a hard time tho

The problem here is that this relies on the same logic as trickle down economics, where if you cut the right regulations then developers will suddenly produce housing en masse and it'll become affordable.

Nobody said that alone will fix the housing crisis. Parking mimimims are unambiguously a major cost of building, and removing them allows for more density/housing supply.
Also, it makes public housing cheaper to build too. You can agree with both things, they don’t conflict.

It can certainly help with density though not gonna disagree there.

Parking minimums gotta go, but don't be fooled into thinking that alone will fix our housing issues. We need massive investments into PUBLIC housing and crackdowns on landlords to go along with it.

Parking minimums are a cancer to cities and land use, they need to be eliminated

Deregulating developers isn't central planning, that's capitalism. Central planning would be funding a universal housing system.

Parking minimums are central planning and therefore un-American

Getting rid of parking minimums can help things, but you can't solve a housing crisis with even more of the capitalism that got us here to begin with. Houston has a greedy landlord/developer problem, not one of supply. Houston needs universal housing, not payouts to developers.

My hot take is that since we’re making
Solid Waste a utility then the fees should cover the entire operation of the system. They’re hoping to use reserves already present in the utility system to keep the fee artificially low in the hopes nobody notices until after the election

Houston city council has voted to pass Mayor John Whitmire's $7.5 billion budget, paving the way for a monthly $5 charge for trash and recycling pickup.
The fee marks a significant shift in how the city funds one of its most visible and troubled services, and makes Houston the last major Texas city to adopt a garbage fee. bit.ly/4egUfJC

The only no vote was Pollard, remember this in 2027. This budget drains our water budget to overfund police yet again. Houston is desperately in need of a progressive council that will actually put the needs of Houstonians first, this budget puts them last.
City Council approves the budget, as amended. Too many amendments to summarize here.
Protest erupts after the vote. Loud chants outside the chamber.
Kudos to the community organizations which work to make sure ordinary Houstonians are heard and seen.

The $120,000 wasted salary could have paid for the new trash fee for over 2000 working class Houstonian families.
The Mayor’s $60,000 podcast he could have produced for free in a library could have paid the fee for over 1000 working class Houstonian families.
