Seattle residents! Contact your City Council people before Tuesday to express support for this legislation. It waives codes that currently make it impossible to convert office spaces to residential ones. This will help with the housing crisis!

The housing crisis isn't a matter of space, though. It's pricing.

Next step: no cars in the city, convert parking lots and garages. Driving in the city is abysmal, we should be driving money towards even better transportation, but instead we got...Bertha and the aqueduct.

I’ve been screaming about this in Vancouver, BC for several years now. Downtown offices are empty and employers cannot get people back to the office (despite carrots and sticks). Meanwhile, homelessness continues to rise. Profit-driven governance rules-tragic. Hope Seattle leads the way.

The adaptive reuse ordinance in LA was just a massive giveaway to developers. Meant to save legacy buildings, it means no parking or density restrictions, no rent control. During rehab, parking stays open to the public and is a cash business.

We just approved this here in DC and it's working well. Especially since we have so little space to work with in such a small district that limits all buildings to shorter than the washington monument.
