Texans for Reasonable Solutions

Texas families deserve better. 🏠🤠💸

Why should regular Texans wait months while paperwork drives up the cost of a home? Pew’s new report shows that preapproved building plans can cut red tape, save builders thousands, and help cities get more homes built faster.

Bryan, Texas is already in the mix, using a Midtown pattern zone with duplexes, rooming houses, and small apartments up to 12 units. That’s the kind of LOCAL CONTROL that can help working families, young people, and seniors stay in the communities they love.

Lewisville, Bryan, and San Antonio are already on the map. Now the question is: why not more Texas cities?

More homes. Less delay. LOWER COSTS.

🚨 TEXAS HOUSING UNDER ATTACK 🚨

Millions are moving to Texas for JOBS, FREEDOM and opportunity 🤠🏡 — but now some North Texas cities are trying to BLOCK affordable housing.

After the Legislature passed historic reforms to PROTECT PROPERTY RIGHTS and lower housing costs, cities like Arlington, Plano, Irving, Frisco and Grand Prairie are pushing back with new rules that drive prices UP.

Luxury mandates. Bigger minimum apartment sizes. Heavy industrial rezoning. 🚧

That’s not very Texan.

The Texas Constitution is clear: the government can’t use shady tactics to sidestep state law or make housing more expensive for working families.

Texas should stand for PROPERTY RIGHTS and AFFORDABLE HOUSING — not local obstructionism. 🇨🇱🔥
