My rudimentary understanding is that the City Charter doesn't allow non‐geographic districts, but if that's not a hard rule, I think an At‐ Large or Citywide council district for people who don't own property would be hugely helpful. These folks can't speak louder than their landlords or whoever owns the property where they're staying, but they are our neighbors and citizens with an invaluable perspective. Thanks for considering giving them a louder voice. Sincerely, Carolina Treviño ‐‐ Rev. Carolina Treviño m CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
