Global Interest in Seattle Microhousing

China Central Television, or CCTV, featured Seattle’s microhousing phenomenon last week. The online and broadcast programing on CCTV reaches a wide audience in China and Asia. According to their website. CCTV

Is constantly updated with top news from China and around the world. Offering new reports, live and on-demand video content and searchable archives, CCTV.com is available in Mandarin, English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Korean, and Chinese ethnic minority languages.

We were happy to share the microhousing story, it’s promise for a product that allowed the market to build an affordable option for people needing housing in Seattle’s most active and expensive neighborhoods, and how the City Council legislation last year now makes the product almost unbuildable. The global attention to Seattle’s former leading role building the product is just a reminder of how innovative and important microhousing is and why it is such a disappointment the the City Council failed to listen to our messages and chose to side with neighbors looking out for their own narrow interests.
