Shaping the Future of Austin’s Greatest Park With the Zilker Vision Plan

James Rambin February 12, 2021 Comment

More than a century after Andrew Jackson Zilker donated approximately 350 acres of land to the City of Austin to create what would eventually become the city’s favorite metropolitan park, we find ourselves in an embarrassing predicament — Zilker Park has never had a master plan!

At Rosewood Courts, a Milestone of Housing History Imagines an Upgrade

James Rambin January 21, 2021 Comment

Though its historic significance doesn’t receive due attention outside the city, the Rosewood Courts public housing complex in East Austin is the first federal housing project in the nation built for African Americans. Funded by the United States Housing Authority of the New Deal thanks to the famously tireless politicking of then-Congressman Lyndon B. Johnson and completed in 1939, the…
