I will do more research and go more in detail about these organizations later. We definitely do not have to interview all of them. Other things of interest are the McMansion ordinance (for history, or displacement story?)

I would also like to get a hold of “Hollywood” Henderson, an East Austin resident involved in the community who we could interview for our project.
