But my earlier statement still holds, on any lot in the city (basically) you can build a ~2300 building with ~1000 duplex units.

In one of the weirdest coincidences ever, the building I took a picture of last month and posted above just happened to have been featured in March 2006 Austin Chronicle of "McMansion or Not" shown at building stage in the link below:

I swear I didn't plan that - I was just visiting my favorite restaurant the other day, saw a pretty town home and thought to myself "hmm. . .I wonder why anyone would want to ban these" and snapped a picture. Anyway - the Chronicle in March of 2006 was pointing to this very same building as being a "McMansion".
I put it to others. . .is that building so offensive and out of character with Hyde Park that it should have been made illegal?
Mike - you're a Hyde Park resident now - should the city be protecting you from that?
