    What to Know: Austin residents could vote in November on a nearly $1 billion bond package, which would include money for affordable housing.

    “Several city leaders support a bond election to fund more affordable housing,” KVUE reports. “’We have big affordability challenges,’ said Austin Mayor Steve Adler. ‘We need the courage to step forward with answers.’ The city manager is proposing an $816 million bond package for November, with $161 million of that for affordable housing.”

    That's funny.

    I also funny when such plans finally come to fruition. Houston approved several downtown high-rise redevelopments many years ago on the proviso that a certain number of units were to be set aside as affordable. The few affordable units built were tiny one-bedroom units that cost more than a decent house in the suburbs.

    I guess it just depends on your definition of affordable.

    It is funny and this could not be more true. Affordable is one of those words I hear get thrown around a lot. Then I see dollar amounts and realize the word affordable must be for a different classification. I prefer cheap although it seems to be losing it meaning also.

    They couldn't make it affordable enough to make me want to move to Austin. It's not fair that illegals have to pay the current prices.
