May 2013 ENGAGE Wrap-Up

This month's ENGAGE breakfast looked at housing supply, demand and affordability in Austin and Central Texas. Panelists discussed the challenges of keeping up with a quickly growing city, the unnecessary costs of development, the need for programs that provide housing options the market doesn't supply, Austin's Land Development Code, and much more. Speakers included Pete Dwyer (Dwyer Realty Companies), Frank Fernandez (Green Doors), and Paul Hilgers (Austin Board of REALTORS). The panel was moderated by Leslie Rhode of KXAN-TV.
