Alright to this evening's housing thread is brought to you by this question:

'I have friends who think a vacancy tax would do more to solve Seattle's housing problem than upzoning. Is this true?'

#Seattle #urbanism #housing #taxes
And before I begin, still underemployed and would love to hit $40 for this thread.

Ok let's go!
So the first thing I want to do is get a few things out of the way. 1) even though a problem may exist in a similar city (let's say SF for example) it's important to remember that although the problems are similar, given the differences in laws the reasons could be different.

Good afternoon! It is the one and only #AceReporting!

#SeattleProtests #SeattleProtestComms
I'm predicting roughly an hour of testimony, if not longer. Then will will have discussion before deliberation on the three bills the mayor vetoed. If these three are not sustained, we will then have a final vote on a compromise bill. More details here:

Since I am clearly feeling some type of way I'm going to spill some tea around the concept of the Pike/Pine superblock, because why not.
Now a few months ago (pre-COVID) at the Pike/Pine Urban Nbhd Council we had an initial conversation around the idea of a superblock. This was spurred by me b/c as ambitious as the CM who proposed this is, as a PPUNC board member I wanted to ensure a process that included...
...the neighborhood and that we were able to self-determine the type of block we would like to see. A notable landlord and former board member (whose name you may know but I will not disclose) mentioned that a number of boutiques were concerned about street closures.
