Disappointed in Seattle's Comprehensive Plan? Us too. Our most recent newsletter has a draft note for city leaders that calls for a plan with more middle housing, more apartments in more places, and less parking. Check it out (& send before May 6!): mailchi.mp/sightline/home…
HB 1110 requires Seattle to allow 4plexes and 6plexes, but the city's proposed size cap of FAR 0.9 undermines the state law. It will quash feasiblity for many design options, and any projects that can pencil will have small units. sightline.org/2024/04/18/sea…
HB 1110 requires Seattle to legalize middle housing but politics prevented the bill from prohibiting parking mandates, which are like poison to small-scale multifamily housing. Portland does not mandate parking for middle housing, and the data show why. sightline.org/2024/04/18/sea…

Mandating more parking than we need keeps us from the homes we need!

💯 When it's only legal to build the most expensive housing: a single-detached house on a large lot, old houses get replaced by even more unaffordable McMansions.

We distilled it down to three key fixes for Seattle's Comp Plan: 1 - Let middle housing be bigger 2 - Allow larger apartments in more places 3 - Legalize car-free homes everywhere

A paper trail from fall 2023 shows that Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell's office overruled his planning department and cut transit corridor upzones and halved the number of proposed "neighborhood centers" before release of the growth strategy. Story: theurbanist.org/2024/04/16/pla…

Walkable neighborhood grocery store possibly coming to north Spokane! 🎉 🥳
A new potential owner wants to add a grocery store for the community. The City Planning Department is now considering a proposal at the corner of Howard Street and Mansfield Avenue in north Spokane. kxly.com/news/new-groce…
do you know how much safer it would be to walk, roll, bike, and even drive around seattle if car usage dropped by 40% just one climate leader in the US. it would be great to have even one. any mayor doing a single solitary thing to unf*ck their cities from cars.
paris, having dropped car usage by 40% in 10 years, is now largely car-free. transit and bikes easily and quickly circumnavigate the city. air quality has never been better - which is a lot as wildfire smoke from north america chokes much of world for 6 months out of the year

"Go big, so more people can go home. There is no downside to erring on the side of too much upzoning that comes anywhere close to the catastrophic downsides of maintaining restrictive zoning that worsens Seattle’s housing shortage." - @danbertolet sightline.org/2024/04/18/sea…

Every suburban neighborhood, asap. We truly have SO MUCH LAND that is squandered with the suburban sprawl pattern. Let's get filling in.
"I wish my kids could afford to live near me." "I wish I could downsize without having to leave my neighborhoods." Well, here's the solution.
“Lately he’d been going down a rabbit hole of websites saying Spokane is actually a million miles ahead of Seattle right now in creating more affordable, dense, multi-family housing because there’s so much broad support for it…”

to park 16 cars for this project would require a basement and nearly $1 million dollars of added cost

Thank you @BankofAmerica for bringing another group out to our Yarrow Cottages site for a build day this week. Your ongoing support allows us to deliver on our mission to create more #affordablehousing in our community.
? I actually don’t understand this. I’ve watched so many old small single family homes get knocked down and rebuilt into sprawling McMansions the same size as like 6 townhomes in NE Seattle lol. Where is the “wow” for that? Someone explain?
Now that board member is talking generally about HB 1110. "You think about someone who lives in a single family home, and now has four to six next houses to them...wow!" "I think when it really sinks in, and people realize it...it's an enormous change," she says.
If you think we're going to have universal buy-in from all the established special interests for the policies needed to end the housing crisis, I have some bad news.
