amazing how wealthy homeowners still get to veto massive swaths of the city for renters the entire urban village strategy is built on redlining, anti-renter, and anti-urban viewpoints. this is just so ridiculous.

Sara "I'm pro housing" Nelson is voting against the elimination of parking minimums in Seattle. Good to get her on the record I guess.

We are outside City Hall rallying for a comprehensive plan that allows for social housing to proliferate across our city. A comp plan that mitigates the climate crisis and creates housing for everyone. A comprehensive plan that centers anti-displacement strategies.

Based on remote comment so far, for in-person comment, we need ppl to please oppose 102 and support 34. We also need more Alki and Bryant pro-housing ppl who want the neighborhood center.

There are people opposing housing at City Council today over “impacts to schools.” Do these people not realize that student enrollment is falling and that more housing and more people are the solution to keeping schools open?

I have tried to persuade Tree Action folks to support eliminating parking minimums but they refuse to make the connection that unlimited parking is bad for trees. It undermines their core argument about the dire tree canopy crisis when they are silent about paving acres and acres of private land

My office requested that the Office of Civil Rights assess CB 121052 and 121053, and we wanted to share this report with the public.
