Travis IDEA is an innovative conceptual solution to the regional housing affordability crisis in Central Texas. By focusing on soil quality and the ‘cultural creatives’ market segment, this solution will support the expected doubling of the region’s population by 2040 with compact, pedestrian-oriented communities that place 75% of the land into long-term conservation easements that provide plentiful recreational opportunities for residents. These communities will use only rainwater, while producing 75% of food needs within 5 miles of residences, providing on-site ‘value-added’ jobs, producing electricity on site, and significantly reducing residents’ vehicle miles travelled.
