The trope of local control makes a comeback 2025. Obviously cities are inherently about local control. But obviously 50 years of leaning on the exclusionary impacts of local control have led us into a regional housing crisis.

I was literally saying the same thing a couple days ago. But instead of just happening in the congressional cafeteria, it’s a public embarrassment for the whole country.

In 1964, Martin Luther King was awarded the Nobel Prize, the Civil Rights Act was passed, and Seattle’s open housing campaign failed.

Yesterday, while researching Pacific Northwest history and our current housing crisis, I was reminded of that campaign.

If you are here, are a public sector employee, and interested in #OpenSource please reach out. I'd love to bring you into a global government conversation about #FOSS use in #government.

There is frankly so much that governments can do with greater collaboration in digital teams.
