[nndl] code enforcement + desirable neighborhood + etc.

I thought I'd just give one architect's perspective on the issues under
discussion...

Code enforcement:

Austin city building inspectors consider existing conditions to be
'grandfathered,' which they remain until the building owner seeks a
building permit to upgrade the property. At that point, if they are
remodeling the area in question, it must be brought up to current code.
Otherwise, the building inspectors allow it to remain as is.

Re: [nndl] Code Enforcement

At some point, I sure would like to see along with other neighborhood
issues (sidewalks, Highland Mall plans) - a concerted effort - to get
more of our neighbors involved, AND - with more people - focus on
cleaning up our neighborhood: putting pressure on property owners to
keep the property maintained, clean, putting pressure on property owners
to rent to responsible, considerate people (letting them know that we
will call them when their neighbors disturb us by noise, tras

[nndl] FW: HPNA letter to City Council

For people who are keeping track of the proposed zoning and development
of property south of the cemetery on 51st Street, the Hyde Park
Neighborhood Association has now rescinded their support for this
project. They are now expressing concerns over flooding, traffic, and
parking, and have written a letter to Council requesting a postponement
of consideration of this property until after more study has been
conducted. (See attached letter.)

It is hard to argue against a request for further study, so this is a
fairly intelligent move on the part of HPNA. It is not at all clear how

[nndl] Hyde Park/Park

I sent the message below out yesterday but it bounced back (likely due
to the attachment)
Now resending w/o attachment.

We should be spending more time trying to do positive things in our
neighborhood instead of putting another one down.

With that in mind, we desperately need to get (30!) trees in the
ground for the new 551/2 St. park.

We have a planting May 3 (next Saturday) 9am-1pm.

The park is located on 551/2 St between Chesterfield and Guadalupe

Re: [nndl] The compassionate conservatives of Hyde Park strike again

I find this whole situation rather appalling, to be honest. Let's see. . . take a snippet of news out of context, make wild assumptions about peoples' motives without researching the actual facts of the case, and then encourage people to write letters to the government in protest. . .  and if you don't, that means you don't care about the children's safety! Give me a break.
And this isn't even in our neighborhood.
