1. Dental Aligners
2.Fanny packs are back-but better in the front, some deals are just too good to be true, know your surroundings, don't panic if you lose your friends- there's a tent for that, its OK to drink, but stick to water, and keep your eyes peeled for danger,
3.More than 110 clients.
4. 115 times (if you count the inaugural meeting).
5. The Alamo Drafthouse of Torment. That is because I like to watch scary movies with a group of people. I would also like to go to the Yappy Hour at the Long Center. That is because I have 3 dogs. and I just love dogs in general.

Long Response: 
1. New proposed land development laws will make affordable housing in Austin multiply. If the laws get approved, then income-restricted  affordable homes in Austin, could multiply by six times. The laws would create a shift from single-family housing in Austin, to multiple unit homes. Trying to make more housing in Austin available and affordable was why the laws were brought forward. One side think that these laws are not good because it will drive out home owners. However, another side think thats these laws will allow citizens with lower incomes to live in Austin.
 
2.More affordable housing could help Austin, because right now Austin is growing like crazy and becoming more expensive, pushing people out of their homes, which means the culture of Austin is changing. With affordable housing, the people in Austin can keep living here, and the city will be prepared for a more rapid growth in population.

3. One problem with the current code is that it limits the amount of affordable pricing that Austin can have because of state laws. Another problem is that it limits the total housing unit capacity from increasing.

4. I think that Austin has a huge affordable housing issue. That is because property taxes are flying through the roofs, as Austin becomes more industrialized and populated.

5. A housing issue has impacted me. That is because, when my family is looking to buy a new home, the housing issue can become a problem when we look at whether this home will be profitable in the future.

6.One suggestion that I think would help the process or bringing more affordable housing to Austin's core is to build up. From a TED Talk from my geography class, I have learned that for cities, it is better to build up, than build out. That is so that there would be more housing in less space. That would then overall reduce the pricing of housing because there is more of it.
