On December 8, 2011, the Austin City Council adopted the Downtown Austin Plan with several new amendments. Since I own a house in Austin (that I’d really like to not be owning but…), I’m always interested in what’s going on there. “The draft Plan establishes action priorities for the next 10 years, to More >
