We are raising funds to super charge our signature gathering in the last 6 weeks! We have 11,000 in-hand but need to gather close to 24,000 more. Can you help? letsbuildsocialhousing.org/donate
Show up next Tuesday and support this critical legislation. The connected communities bill could also benefit the Seattle Social Housing Developer. It's really concerning that no other Councilmember on the Land Use Committee supported this legislation.

For those who want to learn just how racist Seattle's zoning (and more) has been (a lot) & what's at stake we break it down in an 18 minute video here: harland2harrell.org
@lokimed_eth16 @CityofSeattle @SeattleOPCD Zero parts of this plan encourages, requires, or vocalizes a need to take anyone's homes. We do advocate for ending exclusionary, racist zoning policies in the city that have overwhelmingly benefitted white homeowners at the expense of everyone else.
@houseRneighbors Those corridors. It would change the city.
"If there are no public facilities available to a homeless person" re: public defecation or urination -- the attorney says that there are public health reasons to prohibit those things even if there are not public facilities.
Oral arguments in Grants Pass v Johnson are starting now. This is the most consequential case dealing with homelessness in recent memory. supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments…
and the other neighborhoods that also have a housing shortage, right? right?
BREAKING: @MayorofSeattle is seeking to exempt projects in Downtown Seattle (and immediate surrounding areas) from Design Review! This will speed up permitting in these areas during the trial 3 year period. 🥳🥳🥳
seattle this explains *everything*
Important new paper. State & local candidates are like "unlike those fatcats in DC, I'm close to the people" but lower level elections have the most unrepresentative electorates & donors, lowest info, and are most influenced by money. ungated: sites.bu.edu/kleinstein/fil…

I'm really disappointed. Seattle can't waste any more time failing to provide affordable housing. We were elected to take action. This is not a controversial bill. Cutting red tape to let organizations like Habitat for Humanity build more homes is not controversial.
The committee just failed to approve the bill, with Moore, Rivera, and Woo opposed, and Dan Strauss abstaining. CM Morales, who sponsored the bill, voted in favor. It still goes to the full council on April 30 without a do pass recommendation where it will likely fail.
watching ghouls punt the equitable development legislation out until the comp plan passing (which does virtually nothing for affordable housing) is *incredible*
It seems Cathy Moore, Maritza Rivera and Tanya Woo don't want to give affordable housing in boost in high displacement risk areas.

@typewriteralley Wow. If not even the non profits can get a zoning boost...
The fact that inclusionary zoning (MHA) is listed as an anti-displacement tool while social housing is not, is a crime…
Social housing not listed as an anti-displacement tool. We gotta lot of education to do y’all.
@houseRneighbors This doesn't really bode well for the comp plan. This kind of pilot is a no brainer. An extra floor or two for affordable housing projects has so little negative impact and will help made more homes. Hard to understand what's there to object to.
this new council is running backwards on climate, on affordable housing, and on livability yikes.
Finally a CM seconds @CMTammyMorales so that she can discuss her Connected Communities Pilot. Everyone has been silent otherwise. @CMDanStrauss didn’t get his amendments done in time. Woo is silent, Rivera is absent. Morales has been working on this pilot with community for years
@houseRneighbors @CMTammyMorales @CMDanStrauss @TammyMoralesSEA in 2024 council chambers like this on every issue. So thankful for her!
