With an average salary of $135K/year, a software engineer in Seattle will always be able to outbid an EMT (~$50K/year) for housing on the private market. Social Housing can help ensure Seattle is affordable for everyone.

Viewer just sent me a pic of Mark Zuckerberg's yacht at Lake Union. This would be an obnoxious display of wealth any day but stings extra following 1400 Meta layoffs in King County yesterday. Perhaps greed is the problem.

Note than in a 30 minute phone call Saturday about Kavanaugh and a range of other topics, Dreher refused to answer whether he voted for House Our Neighbors Prop 1A or the @SeattleChamber Prop 1B to help our members determine where on Seattle’s political spectrum he’s aligned.

NEW: WA State House candidate worked for Kavanaugh and signed a letter praising him during his appointment to Supreme Court. Bad look in his blue district, but Dreher said there's more to the story, including a second letter breaking with his former boss https://t.co/rD9YkXAMGZ

@benmaritz Any thoughts on why the market hasn’t built family-sized units at prices that 60-120% AMI can afford? What land use (or building code) changes would you recommend to ensure that need is met?

Hannah Sabio Howell is running on a strong tax-the-rich platform against WA Senate Majority leader Jamie Pedersen who wrote a huge corporate handout into the millionaires tax he will use to left wash himself to compete for a progressive district he's held unchallenged for 10+ yrs

Today is the last day you can blame Katie Wilson for something that happened under Bruce Harrell's watch. Cash in!

A UW professor recently called Washington State “a tax haven like the Cayman Islands.”

What did he mean?

Seattle is in danger of becoming a permanent city of have and have-nots. It doesn’t have to be this way.

We can make Seattle a home for our children and our children’s children.

JumpStart revenues for 2024 came in $47 million lower than projected. This should not be a surprise; the payroll expense tax is a robust and progressive revenue source but it’s also volatile. 🧵https://t.co/7p4ijmXyle

[Katie Wilson @WilsonKatieB]

That’s why JumpStart was originally intended primarily for capital projects like affordable housing, not to fund ongoing operations that depend on stable funding from year to year. This is one reason why Harrell’s approach to last year’s budget process was short-sighted:

@mikesimonsen @IamKingWilliams How much did those sellers and buyers save by avoiding excessive commissions?
