Last night C.R. Douglas reported on our efforts to defend microhousing against the onslaught of single-family resistance to a housing product that has been very successful. I thought the report was very fair and balanced. Here’s what I said:

“It’s a choice that people are making to say, I want a smaller space, pay less for it, in a hotter, transit-friendly, cool neighborhood in Seattle,” said Roger Valdez of Smart Growth Seattle.  “The only complaints are from people that don’t live in them, that want to control and determine how other people live.”

The report highlighted why neighborhoods were upset, but also made it clear there are waiting lists to move in to microhousing buildings. Something that elicited amazement from the anchors. We’ll continue to do what we can to persuade Councilmembers that they should support a good thing. Keep microhousing a plentiful housing choice! Contact Councilmembers now!
