Please help the citizens of Austin instead of wealthy land developers. We are struggling to afford to live in this city we love and call home. Money for the common people, not the rich!!

this is a private development and i doubt their proceeds will be shared with the public. if they want to develop it they should pay for it.

Perhaps City Council should consider giving property tax subsidies to Austin home owners instead.

Think how many swimming pools could be fixed with that money.

Developers have always come here to build without incentives.

Destroying neighborhoods so that more condos can be built for people that don't live here yet is ruining Austin

Either they can foot the bill themselves or they can just not build. Pick one. That would be justice. Are they building parks? No. Are they building public spaces that all can share? No. Then we shouldn't be paying for it.

Property taxes are to high for us and you want to give to developers? Whoever propose this is owned by a hustler.

Stop the free tax breaks. Let them pay like we the homeowners pay our property taxes.

Community services are what I want to see this money spent on. Parks, pools, libraries, water, bikeways. Let's invest in our community, not a wealthy developer.

The Austin American Statesman article in February 4, 2022 sums up exactly why this is unacceptable for tax payers to fund and is a huge boon to developers. Demand parks and public space from developer who will still profit in massive profits.

STOP giving rich people our money. We need it for infrastructure (new water delivery and sewer lines), parks, libraries, pools, etc. And with a Living Wage Law people could afford a place to live that their employer covers, no tax subsidy needed. Stop stealing our tax dollars to give away to your buddies.

Don't waste my taxes like this and don't give tax exemption to any new business. We had enough.
