Having previously worked in real estate development, I found the public data scattered and wanted an easier way to see not just what was being proposed, but also get some context around timelines and how projects compared - what makes one project take 200 days less than a similar one?
This site indexes Austin (and a few other cities) development permits/proposals for searching, and critically, it calculates processing times with percentile comparisons to show how projects stack up against local norms. Heavily inspired by the great judyrecords, I really appreciate projects that "merely" ties together disparate data of obscure origins. Appreciate any feedback!
