Smart Growth Seattle: Op Ed in The Times
This morning the Seattle Times has a guest opinion article by yours truly. The headline says it all: Build more to drive down Seattle housing costs. Here’s a key paragraph:
The Seattle City Council has a choice: Allow more housing to be built so everyone has more options or make things worse by clamping down on new housing with more rules, regulations and fees. That would mean more costs, less competition and higher rents. Seattle needs more housing, not less.
Join in on the comments section for the article or share it with your colleagues. And let Councilmembers know that we need more housing, even 250 units of single family, not more costly rules and regulations that drive up the price of housing for the customers.
