Councilmember Willie Lewis is often misunderstood, but his Eastside TND plan is inspired. If the city's gonna get into the proverbial bed with private developers - which it's done for decades - doesn't it make sense for those deals to produce the projects we want (neo-traditional neighborhoods) in the places we want them (the storied Desired Development Zone) where the private sector is loath to go it alone (East Austin)? Makes sense to us.
