Counterpoint:

In Austin, in 20 years when all these painted brick houses have walls that are falling apart from moisture retention then they’ll be torn down and replaced with no parking and (hopefully) up to six units. Currently 3 units, but if council passes a 2500 minimum lot size then our 5750 parcels can be subdivided in half.

Makes me wonder if this painting thing will be a blessing in disguise and result in loads of new redevelopment.
