Seattle's Middle Housing updates are in the final stretch. But NIMBY amendments are risking derailing it last minute. Amendment 102 would force developers into infeasible site plans like below. Email your councilmember or sign the letter to oppose it

Vote for Option C!
Councilmember Strauss sent out a public survey asking for input on proposed Neighborhood Center. If option C is picked for all of them, it would upzone dozens of blocks, hundreds of acres. Link in next post Tangletown Before->Version C

Sigh - yes if you required by law, for example, that every bagel be accompanied by 5,000 square feet or urban land, purchasing bagels would indeed be vastly more expensive...
For literally anything other than homes, "Will X cost less if we don't force all buyers of X to also buy thousands of square feet of extremely expensive land" would not be treated by anyone as a question that needs studies to answer.

This is...completely fine, actually.

When you think a building looks bad, the correct response is to clown them on social media and present an alternate vision so that next time, the builder might think twice. I think this looks amazing.

Seattle (ahem) historical preservationists: "Craftsman kit houses were humanity's greatest achievement" "Oh so we should re-legalize Craftsman kit 4plexes on every lot everywhere, right?" "No"
Now that fourplexes are being re-legalized by state legislatures across America, when will the stock plan providers catch up? "Sears? Sears? anyone, anyone?" #buldingcodereform #zoningreform #yimby

It's clear since RSL zoning & ADU changes went through that exclusionary zoning has been killing middle class homeownership opportunities in Seattle: $700s: nurses, public school teachers, skilled trades $500s: lead janitors, library associates, lifeguards Ecrasez l'infame

Lot splitting is a super important bill to pass folks!
20 Feb 2025
BIAW member Justin Wood explains why SHB 1096 is a game-changer. This bill makes it easier to split lots and build more townhomes, duplexes, and other middle housing—creating affordable, entry-level homes for first-time buyers. Oregon has already done it, and it’s working. Instead of limiting land to rentals or condos, let’s give more people a chance at homeownership. Washington needs housing options that work. SHB 1096 is a step in the right direction.
