Austin is readying to greatly reduce the amount of land needed to build a home.
The Austin City Council could change the minimum lot size needed to build homes across the city.
On Thursday, the City Council will vote on a resolution to start the process, although it could still be years before changes go into effect. Throughout cities, land codes dictate not only what you can build and where, but how tall and wide offices or homes can be. Among these rules is what is called the minimum lot size, which sets a floor for how much land an owner needs in order to build.
The land could also be subdivided. If someone owns a 10,000-square-foot lot, they could divide that into four lots and, theoretically, build three homes on each, totaling 12 houses.Minimum-wage earners need to work 147 hours a week to afford a one-bedroom apartment in Austin
