He does an extended bit mocking the empty promise that 'affordable housing is coming' as a magic phrase Austin transplants use to dismiss any concern about displacement.
- Tim argues that saying 'they should build affordable housing' is a conversation-ender used to dodge any concern.
- He does a bit where locals repeat 'affordable housing is coming' as a mantra to calm fears about development.
- Tim explains the promise: they'll build housing for regular people but charge them less for it.
- His actual recommendation: don't move to Austin, Texas at all.
