Dear Editor,

As an Austin resident and homeowner living on the Eastside for more than two decades, I wanted to chime in on the affordable housing initiative discussion.

In my experience, what drives long-time residents out of the city is no secret: The valuation of single family homes have skyrocketed with property taxes swamping us (barely) steady income earners.

Everyone that I know with jobs in Austin are clinging to the hope that the City Council initiative for Accessory Dwelling Units was passed. We then witnessed our hopes dwindle as council supported developers with lobbyists and budgets.

I do not imagine that commercial developers have even an inkling of the fervent commitment to Austin’s community that residents and families have ...Please City Council, let us have ADU’s!

Peace,

MA Hubbard

My name is Eddie and I work for the Austin Fire Department. I am currently the president of the “League of United Latin American Citizens” (LULAC) a national Latino organization that supports the advancement of Latin American Citizens. I’ve been in the fire service for almost 30 years (23yrs w/Austin Fire). Since the first day I set foot in the Austin Fire Department I noticed the stark lack or diversity.That very obvious lack of diversity is still here.

Recently I have been having conversations about the lack of diversity in the fire department with Fire Chief Baker. I asked him if he thought we had a diversity problem within the fire department. His answer shocked me … he responded by saying “I do not think we have a diversity problem in our fire department.” I was perplexed for that moment in time. But what he said next was not surprising at all. He then followed up his initial answer with……”I think we have a diversity DISASTER!”

In working with the fire chief on how we address the diversity disaster we’ve been in for years I ran across an article you wrote 11 years ago [“

I’d love to talk to you about this and maybe you can write another article concerning the grave minority issues we currently have in our fire department. Dear Josh [Rosenblatt],My name is Eddie and I work for the Austin Fire Department.

He then followed up his initial answer with……”I think we have a diversity DISASTER!”In working with the fire chief on how we address the diversity disaster we’ve been in for years I ran across an article you wrote 11 years ago [“ The Color of Fire ,” News, May 13, 2011] about the AFD diversity council/group that our union Local 975 had started. Well, it eventually dwindled away and in a short time was never seen again. I proposed to the chief that we should renew the diversity group. Anyway, my point is that we took all the data you had 11 years ago and compared it to todays minority data…..and no surprise, it is almost the exact minority data you gathered 11 years ago. Yes, there has been absolutely no improvement in 11 years.I’d love to talk to you about this and maybe you can write another article concerning the grave minority issues we currently have in our fire department.

[David] Whitworth’s attempt to malign Kathie Tovo, Leslie Pool, and Alison Alter because they support single-family zoning is shameful [“

Whitworth implies that he’s a “card carrying Democrat” because he supports elimination of single-family zoning in broad areas of the city. According to data from the Texas Ethics Commission, he apparently donated six times to the Texas REALTORS Political Action Committee between 2014 and 2016.

Transparency USA website shows that Texas REALTORS Political Action Committee has apparently donated $50,000 each to Texans for Dan Patrick and Texans for Greg Abbott! Whitworth’s attempt to portray himself as a liberal progressive is disingenuous and self-serving.

As a realtor and director and president of the David Whitworth Development Company, Whitworth has direct financial interest in the proposed massive upzoning of single-family neighborhoods in Central Austin. Dear Editor,[David] Whitworth’s attempt to malign Kathie Tovo, Leslie Pool, and Alison Alter because they support single-family zoning is shameful [“ Time to Look in the Mirror on Housing ,” Opinion, Sept. 11].
