"Parts of the city with rapid growth"

Post by Jimmy Flannigan »

CM Kitchen spoke about "parts of the city with rapid growth" at last night's meeting with CAG on CodeNext (in the video, Item 2 @ 5:30pm). I didn't have the opportunity to express this at the time, but I wanted to point out that the areas with the most growth are Districts 5 and 6. The Auditor's report from December shows our two districts as having the most population (from all of our districts being at the relative same population as of 2010 census).

I conferred with CM Kitchen about this already, but my concern with using phrases like that is that the community makes assumptions about where rapid growth is occurring. Undeniably, the growth we experience in D6 is felt in different ways than growth in more central areas. But I don't want anyone in the community or on the dais to think rapid growth only happens in Central Austin.
