Long Response:

Please read the story on page A1 "Austin's affordable housing may multiply"

1. Summarize the story in 1-2 paragraphs
Austin's low income housing may increase in order to accommodate more middle class and lower class people in the core of the city. The amount of families and people in Austin are increasing and we need to be able to help people have homes and still generate a profit as a city. People are encouraging development in Central Austin but Public input is needed.

2. How could more affordable housing help Austin? 
It can give people nicer homes who really need them.

3. What are some of the problems with the current coding and how it could impact developers or specific lots?
Some problems that Austin encounters with creating new affordable housing are restrictions imposed on cities include only being able to have developments in new areas, and not letting developers set the rent or make too many decisions. It makes developers less interested, especially if they are not making any kind of profit. One thing you could do is set the limitations but see that developers are making a profit. You also don't have to make low income housing in new developments I fell, it's more expensive that way.

4. Do you think Austin has an affordable housing issue?
Yes. Many people can't meet the needs of their family and space because homes and rent in Austin are very expensive.

5. Has a housing issue ever impacted you? If so how?
Yes, it still is right now. My parents are both unemployed and we spend government aid on rent. The rent is very expensive here and we recently moved from Mexico so it's also hard to adjust ourselves to the new prices of everything. We are only using savings as of now but our lifestyle is very restrictive. The rent is very expensive so if it was less it'd be a lot better for us. We moved here for education and I wouldn't say it's worth it because there's a lot of stress for not a very advanced school. I'm not learning in any core classes, or things I see necessary. I don't need to know how many valence electrons are in chlorine. 

6. Put yourself in the shoes of an Austin City Council member, think of one suggestion you think might help the process of bringing more affordable housing to Austin's core.
I think a main issue is that they're creating new homes from scratch. I think you can use homes that were previously made.
