Rezone Seattle

Rezone Seattle to welcome corner commercial & cultural space, little homes on less land, and everyone who can't afford a detached house on a big lot everywhere

Gear up & rev your engines folks!

Seattle's Middle Housing updates are in the final stretch. But NIMBY amendments are risking derailing it last minute.

Amendment 102 would force developers into infeasible site plans like below. Email your councilmember or sign the letter to oppose it

Mark “yes” for C, no for the rest.
Prefer C

[Rezone Seattle @rezoneseattle]

Vote for Option C!

[Seattle New Liberals 🌐 @SEANewLiberals]

Councilmember Strauss sent out a public survey asking for input on proposed Neighborhood Center. If option C is picked for all of them, it would upzone dozens of blocks, hundreds of acres. Link in next post

@djw172 @itsmarkmoran 💯

My brother and I grew up through age 18 in homes our parents rented - mostly apartments, toward the tail end a small house

[Rezone Seattle @rezoneseattle]

Excellent! Show her some CM Rinck support Seattle peeps!

Add back 8 Neighborhood Centers
Allow Corner Stores not just on corners
Completely Repeal Parking Minimums
Implement SB5184 early (effective repeal for apts)

Sigh - yes if you required by law, for example, that every bagel be accompanied by 5,000 square feet or urban land, purchasing bagels would indeed be vastly more expensive...

[David Watkins @djw172]

For literally anything other than homes, "Will X cost less if we don't force all buyers of X to also buy thousands of square feet of extremely expensive land" would not be treated by anyone as a question that needs studies to answer.

[Rezone Seattle @rezoneseattle]

This is...completely fine, actually.

[YIMBYLAND @YIMBYLAND]

When you think a building looks bad, the correct response is to clown them on social media and present an alternate vision so that next time, the builder might think twice.

I think this looks amazing.

@ursonate Screenshot if that works...

Fact Free Sparkling NIMBY Served on Ice

[Rezone Seattle @rezoneseattle]

Seattle (ahem) historical preservationists: "Craftsman kit houses were humanity's greatest achievement"

"Oh so we should re-legalize Craftsman kit 4plexes on every lot everywhere, right?"

"No"

[Aaron Lubeck @aaron_lubeck]

Now that fourplexes are being re-legalized by state legislatures across America, when will the stock plan providers catch up?
"Sears? Sears? anyone, anyone?"

@rezoneseattle Lots of competition for the hypocrisy title…

[Rezone Seattle @rezoneseattle]

It's clear since RSL zoning & ADU changes went through that exclusionary zoning has been killing middle class homeownership opportunities in Seattle:
$700s: nurses, public school teachers, skilled trades $500s: lead janitors, library associates, lifeguards
Ecrasez l'infame

[Rezone Seattle @rezoneseattle]

Seattle Exclusionary Zoning Apologists: "This terrible!"

Me as a Working Class Kid: "This is 107X as fancy as any home I've ever lived in"

[Rezone Seattle @rezoneseattle]

New construction in pricey Wallingford that teachers and nurses can afford - with trees.

Dig deep and make the extra effort to fight back against NIMBY Treeepocrite BS folks
