(Source: Modeling Inclusionary Zoning’s Impact on Housing Production in Los Angeles: Tradeoffs and Policy Implications, by Shane Phillips) Inclusionary zoning is a tax on new housing construction that kills new development and makes overall housing affordability worse. It is bad policy and we should abolish it entirely, everywhere.
🎟️ Downtown Safety Forum (April 2026)
Join your neighbors for the April Shoal Creek Clean-Up, a monthly collaboration with APD, DAA, and the Downtown Austin Community Court. Case for 301 W. 6th St.DANA has drafted the following letter to be presented to the Historic Landmark Commission at their meeting on Monday, March 28th to oppose the the historic landmarking of the warehouse at 301 W. 6th St. Letter to Historic Landmark CommissionTo the Historic Landmark Commission, The Downtown Austin Neighborhood Association (DANA) is opposed to granting historic landmark status to the 301 W. 6th St. warehouse where The Iron Bear is currently located. We feel that The Iron Bear is an important institution for the LGBTQ+ community downtown and are hopeful that this bar is able to relocate again in a new downtown building with sufficient timing. We have formed our stance based on the following reasons: This site is located directly on a current MetroRapid corridor, an upcoming light rail corridor, in the walkshed from the upcoming Republic Square Project Connect station. Additionally, this lot is not in a Capitol View Corridor and is zoned to have no height limit. Given the items listed above, DANA supports the demolition of 301 W. 6th St. and is opposed to granting this lot historic zoning. Thank you for your consideration. The DANA Board |
