Travis County is celebrating the retirement of Precinct 4 Commissioner Margaret Gomez. ❤️
She was the first elected female Travis County Constable and first Mexican American woman to serve as Commissioner.
Happy retirement, Commissioner Gomez!

Councilman @RyanAlter had a great idea in a meeting with Travis county and AISD
County, city, and AISD all have their own maintenance yards to store stuff, can we just pool our resources and share?
For context: The parks dept wants $85m for maintenance yards in a future bond

Apartment rents in Austin are at roughly 2017 cost levels.
In other words, if you rent an apartment today, you would be paying about the same as 7-8 years ago.
New apartment deliveries are slowing this year. Could be the bottom of rent declines this yr or next.

Austin TX is now back to pre-pandemic apartment rents.
Down 21% from peak in summer of 2022.
$1,636/month --> $1,288/month
(I'm now even seeing 2BRs in some apartments at sub-$1,000)
This rental correction is due to a sharp drop in migration/demand, combined with a surge of new apartment development.
At this point, Austin has its cheapest rents on record relative to income.
