Affordable Talaris

Affordable Talaris is a volunteer group of Seattle neighbors who are concerned about climate change, access to green space, affordable housing. @sharethecities

If you're interested in working on Talaris we can mentor you to start your own advocacy effort. The original group of us is working on other things now, but if this is a thing you want to work on we still have stickers, a website, materials and more!

On first pass it's exciting that the "One Seattle Comprehensive Plan" draft released by @SeattleOPCD includes more corner stores! But on closer inspection, it requires 3 🚗 parking spaces per store? That would still make the example they use, the Volunteer Park Cafe, illegal.

Should I make a like 15 min video of me reacting to this map neighborhood by neighborhood? lol I’m trying to stave off depression, not sure what’s gonna help

[Shirley Leung, PhD @shirleyswirley]

OOOh re-upping this to remind you guys why we need WAY more housing in WAY more wealthy enclaves than what the comp plan is currently calling for

[Chris Walter @ChrisWPhoto]

I also want to shout out the Affordable Talaris volunteers @Talaris4All for letting us repurpose the above image for our comp plan organizing 👏

The image was created by them to envision what the Laurelhurst Talaris project could be if it were developed as a dense walkable neighborhood. Which is exactly what it should be!

[Affordable Talaris @Talaris4All]

Really excited to see our vision for Talaris being promoted as a strong vision for the next Comprehensive Plan. Also, Talaris is one of the best examples of bad zoning leading to bad outcomes in a neighborhood with high opportunity and low displacement risk.

@Talaris4All First batch of prints done for today’s city council meeting!

We’re gonna let the council members know Harrell’s housing plan is trash, especially when compared to other cities in WA

There's a big launch happening this week #Seattle

You know how we passed Seattle Social Housing which set up a City Run Developer?

Well now we need to *a lot* more work to make it actually happen.

We need focused energy for this work.

That's @houseRneighbors !

[Affordable Talaris @Talaris4All]

If you want to prevent the next land use disaster from happening - like the 50 Mansions near transit at Talaris - get involved in the #Seattle Comprehensive planning process.
Follow @SeattleOPCD & take action with @tech4housing @RealChangeNews @CMTammyMorales and others!

The legalization of some gentle missing middle housing may not apply to certain areas. Laurelhurst has a settlement agreement around the land at Talaris. It isn't an HOA so we are interested to know if the new rules allows for four plexes, also it is well-served by transit.

WA’s new ban on single family zoning exempts some of Seattle’s wealthiest neighborhoods https://t.co/YVs8xc8yjE (w/ @davidlgutman @SeaTimesFotoKen)

Without 10-20K for lawyers to delay the progress of less than 50 ultra luxury McMansions near transit in Seattle on the Talaris parcel, a generational mistake is unfolding. This waste of an opportunity for homes for hundreds of families is the direct result of bad zoning.

[Floor Ants @GreenCerenkov]

I wish there were microunits in Seattle that went for like 500-600 a month for 3 month leases
