This is about adding 500 affordable homes in an area that is currently derelict buildings and fenced off parking lots. It would be the first subsidized affordable housing in Magnolia, and has been in process since 2005. Opponents of new housing have turned out in force tonight.

But the most important thing is to remind Council that Seattle needs more housing, and this starts with allowing more of it to be built in this Comp Plan. Show up to Seattle City Hall on Feb 5th at 4pm and send a letter today! bit.ly/SeattleCompP...

The City Council can and should strengthen the Comp Plan--not water it down. Some ideas: allow the stacked flat bonus on all lots near frequent transit; create more Neighborhood Centers in low-displacement risk areas near major parks; and create an affordable housing density bonus for lowrise areas.

The Mayor's proposed One Seattle Plan is not perfect, but makes major steps to allow more housing in existing single-family areas. It goes further than state minimums for 4plexes, by creating 30 new Neighborhood Centers and expanding existing urban centers around frequent transit.

It's time to reject these legacies and replace exclusionary zoning with policies that open all neighborhoods to all kinds of housing. A Comp Plan that puts housing first.

A century later, zoning still restricts new housing in most of Seattle and confines affordable housing and renters to urban villages and arterials. This artificial limit on supply contributes to our housing shortage, drives up costs, segregates neighborhoods, and squeezes lower-income families out.

Zoning in Seattle has roots in harmful, racist ideologies. Harland Bartholomew, the consultant who helped Seattle and other cities implement their first zoning codes, justified restrictive zoning by warning about “overcrowding” leading to a “lowering of the standard of racial strength and virility.”
