Seattle voters will decide this February how to pay for the social housing developer they approved in 2023. Learn more on City Inside/Out with @callananseattle and remember to vote by Feb. 11! Watch: https://t.co/WcqAEppHSA @houseRneighbors @SeattleChamber@Seattle4Growth
Someone has to say this: Pouring money on the “housing crisis” isn’t working. 1. End zoning, 2. Allow market to perform, 3. Where it fails, subsidize with cash payments to renters, 4. Build housing for those with deepest needs. Vote “No!”

@LindsborgVRs Along with intransigence on the local level the problem is aggravated by @Airbnb et al who make billions but do nothing to help regular people being harmed. There should be a warning for hosts: if local government bans or restricts your business, you’re on your own.
#TheImprovementAct per @Seattle4Growth via @Forbes Allow more local control but tie it to reductions in overreaching regulation that makes housing hard to build in the first place https://t.co/xtou8NZDvy Learn more @ #NHPF Symposium Oct. 19. https://t.co/OgipZCidLk
Enthusiasm for imaginary wins means we won't get real ones. The answer is to end zoning, allow producers to meet demand, subsidize with cash for rent, and concentrate the rest on those with the greatest needs.
Good discussion on @SeattleChannel about this new proposal. Let's find out the answer to "Where did all the money go?" We've been told money is the answer, why isn't it working?
A petition calling for social housing may lead to ballot measure for Seattle voters. If approved, I-135 would aim to create publicly-owned, permanently affordable housing. But not all agree measure is needed. WATCH: https://t.co/OC0Z1CGNpl

It's always weird to see my views, like advocating to abolish design review in Seattle suddenly adopted by the armchair quarterbacks. You can see on slide 18 I've long suggested its end (2019) https://t.co/o5jbEGbypB
Lots of attention today on how courts change laws. It’s time to shift the way the law looks at private property and rental housing. https://t.co/a2qiey0myW
