Support for greater density in Seattle continues to rise rapidly. The Chamber's new Index poll shows a net 11 point increase in pro-growth sentiment from just six months ago: 58% now say "growth and development have been a positive for my area." Two years ago that number was 49%.
@skaushik100 I see a lot of stories about retail businesses closing in Seattle and have to think that having more customers by building denser housing across the city could be very helpful for them.
@skaushik100 Please convince your clients on council about this point. :)
@skaushik100 I suspect the devil is in the details. "That big development with the street-level retail walking distance 5 blocks away is fantastic!" vs "That behemoth? Next door? My property value! What about the light, loss of view!!!". We all want to have the other guy pay for stuff.
