This Bellevue-Seattle listings comparison is an unbelievably vivid YIMBY map
In Seattle, people ask how legalizing all these $700k condos makes housing far more affordable
In Bellevue, those condos are illegal & instead they mandate $3M single family homes. There's the answer
Seattle is in a similar situation. While Bellevue is building >3000sqft homes for the rich, Seattle is primarily building for the middle and upper middle class. This will cause an even bigger gap in incomes.
Tough to say if it's good or bad.
