Exciting news from the National level 4 social housing. Social housing isn't a fringe issue, it's not a redundant housing model. We need it to address our housing crisis now. Social housing works. It's an internationally proven model. We will keep educating & fighting for it here

A lot of people are asking a lot of groups to host #SeattleCompPlan events. A few groups are working hard to put together a virtual Comp Plan 101 & Comment Work Party for April 6 - Time & Speakers TBA Thanks to @jp4all_org @houseRneighbors @sharethecities
We're just getting started! It's not too late to join

This is really hopeful and important work! Nice job #StrippersAreWorkers! instagram.com/p/C49Lp_ROxeo/…
If you'd like to see what our residential zones could be, please check out this UW housing studio's work from 2022. Inspiring, fun stuff (and none of it allowed under current or future rules) Work by Miggi Wu, Addison Peabody and Lara Tedrow oneseattlestudio.org
how many democrats in Seattle know that their city council is working on behalf billion dollar corporations trying to repeal the minimum wage for gig workers? this is the home of the FightFor15! rolling back minimum pay laws should be a career ending vote

Drive Forward styles itself as an organization advocating for independent gig workers, but is in fact a 501(c)6 non-tax deductible organization which exists for the benefit of of businesses, akin to a chamber of commerce. projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/org…
Lobbyists for DoorDash, InstaCart and Uber have met with CMs Rivera, Hollingsworth, Woo and Nelson since February. The city council sign-in sheet is publicly available online: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
According to the Seattle City Council sign-in log, 3 different lobbyists with the organization Drive Forward met with Council President Sara Nelson and staff members for CM Rob Saka and the central council staff four separate times in February and March.

I wanted to have a party at carkeek picnic shelters with awesome water views but then I realized that many friends can’t get there easily bc they don’t have cars :( SO much park hoarding in wealthy neighborhoods, esp in north Seattle. Time to add a ton of apts around carkeek lol

On this week's #podcast, @KromanDavid & I are discussing Seattle's Comprehensive Plan--a roadmap for housing density for the next 20 years. What changes are happening, and are they enough to respond to our #HousingCrisis? @WWConverge Full show here: buzzsprout.com/798857/14729841
How will Seattle's next comprehensive plan shape the city? KUOW reports: kuow.org/stories/how-wi….
Seattle’s 43rd Legislative Democrats have adopted a resolution rejecting Mayor Bruce Harrell’s One Seattle Plan calling it “entirely inadequate.” Resolution: drive.google.com/file/d/1crQ9Nl…
Another huge missed opportunity in the draft Seattle Comp Plan: parking reform. The Plan gets it right on all the reasons to abolish mandates, yet still justifies retaining them for this: "they can help to reduce competion for on-street parking." seattle.gov/documents/Depa…
One of the best anti-displacement policies is upzoning high resource neighborhoods. Here in Seattle that means (at a minimum) upzoning everything between the ship canal and 85th. The draft comp plan continues to make it hard to build in high resource neighborhoods.

The same people pushing for spending on cops are pushing for cuts for renters rights. The same people pushing jail for people who sleep outside aren't willing to rezone the city for social housing or find a way to fund social housing. Someone right more about that!

Rico Quirindongo, director of @SeattleOPCD said "There are areas of the city that we do want to introduce greater levels of density, but we want to do it with a measured approach." You want to take a measured approach to desegregation? Mmmmkkkay...

Don’t blame Eyman. His initiative was thrown out by the courts. Blame the Democrats in #waleg, especially Chopp and Gregoire, who imposed the 1% property tax cap after courts had tossed Eyman’s initiative and for the last 17 years have refused to fix what they broke.
