Short description of the idea (140 character tweet):

An app that lets you inform ATX and private developers what you want in your ‘hood and gives two way communication for planned development btwn residents and City

What is your project concept or idea? What challenge or opportunity will it solve?

The app will allow residents to inform City departments what types of development they want in their neighborhood. The app will enable two-way communication. City departments will solicit community input on current projects and will be able to determine if there is support for them. Resident will be able to notify City departments of unwanted development in their neighborhoods.

Who will benefit from your project? Describe the humans at the center of the problem - who are they?

Residents, especially in East Austin, Rundburg, and other under represented areas will have a way of having their voices heard when it comes to developments in their neighborhoods.

How would they benefit? Can you tell their story?

Community feedback has been amorphous. It needs to be targeted to the right department for the right reasons. I can tell their story especially folks in East Austin.

Do you have photos of them? Or quotes?

I can get them.

  What is the current state of your project idea? [Pick more labels :arrow_upper_right: ]

• I have an idea or concept of a solution, but have not yet prototyped or tested it

  Tell us more about the current state of your project idea.

I've discussed the idea with 20 East Austin residents and they are supportive of it.

Do you have any links to text, mockups, code, or data?

I do not.

Tell us about yourself.

I am a small business owner who lives in District 1.

What is your background? Why is this challenge important to you?

I do not like seeing people priced out of their homes because the taxes triple in a year just because of gentrification. Current residents should be able to have a say in the type of homes, industries, and "improvements" that are made in their neighborhoods.

Are you representing a group in submitting this project idea?

No.

You could also be looking into what data the city provides on upcoming developments.

Here are some leads for you to explore: https://data.austintexas.gov/browse?category=Capital+Planning&q=development&utf8=%E2%9C%93 https://data.austintexas.gov/browse?q=land+use&sortBy=relevance&utf8=%E2%9C%93

Yes!I found the pending projects site the other day when I presented at the City's Open Data meeting. I found it while I was sitting at the meeting. I will be using it as a starting point. There may not be a lot to do other than to notify people of its existence and somehow connect the community response to the right department. All good. Thank you so much for your guidance. I'll be asking you questions over the weekend. I'll work on this on Monday.
