On this special episode of The FeedBak Podcast, we visit Austin City Hall to sit down with Mayor Steve Adler for an informative and entertaining discussion. A special thanks to the Mayor’s Office and all those involved for their efforts in putting this together. Among the many topics and ideas discussed are:
- Saving Austin music: an update on the Omnibus resolution and Agent of Change
- Instead of preventing growth, how can we make sure it happens in a way that is Austin
- Housing affordability and the strategies that can be used to obtain it
- Does Austin have an identity crisis?
- Austin as an exporter, and extending it’s influence to the world
- The city’s role in supporting local efforts for change and improvements
- The return of Uber and Lyft, and the conflicts that can arise between City and State legislature
- Sanctuary cities and the importance of embracing the uniqueness of each city in Texas
- Listener questions and a bonus game: Trump or Mr. Burns
“Theres only one way to stop this city from growing, and that is to make it an undesirable place to be. I don’t want to be the mayor that successfully makes Austin and undesirable place to be.”
