When local restrictions limit a mix of housing in our city centers, near jobs, schools & transit, people are forced to move further away, making for longer, costlier commutes, more traffic, more sprawl & more climate-warming pollution. #WAleg #Homes4WA https://www.homes4wa.org/climate-video/

And HB 1110 passes Senate Ways & Means!
Getting a middle housing bill this strong this far through #waleg was unthinkable even just a year ago.
Huge thank you to @jessdbateman plus so many others, and especially the volunteers on the @FuturewiseWA team.

What does Missing Middle housing look like? It looks like homes for Washingtonians. Let's get HB 1110 done! #Homes4WA #housing #ForAllAges #waleg

One thing Iβd really like to hear explicitly articulated is why people living in this building are less worthy members of our society when itβs a 6-plex (as in the picture) compared to when it was a 1-plex. Looking at you @AWCities. #MissingMiddleHousing #Homes4WA

By 49-0, the WA Senate just passed SB 5412 that exempts housing projects from SEPA review and requires "clear and objective standards" for design review.
Thank you Senator Salomon!
Wild to see legislators geeking out so heavily on housing policy with this wonky bill!

#Homes4WA bill #HB1110 has bad amendments that would exempt the wealthiest, least affordable cities in our region from doing their part to tackle the housing crisis.
We've updated our letter to demand lawmakers reject these amendments, send yours now: https://fusewashington.actionkit.com/letter/2023affordablehousingtransit/?source=social https://twitter.com/UrbanistOrg/status/1632132286253785089

Dear self proclaimed "environmentalists" with concerns over the #homes4wa #WALeg bill. We can either build homes in our existing cities, or we can continue to sprawl into our forests and farms. Which side are you on? I'm on team build homes in cities, and protect π²π²π²&π©π»βπΎπ¨π½βπΎπΎ

A new housing development near Lake Stevens is bulldozing a forest and calling itself The Timbers.
Is this sprawling, car-dependentβ¦

This is why the @jessdbateman & co. #Homes4WA #HB1110 bill needs your support.
To preserve our shared environment, we need you to call and email your representatives to make more abundant housing all across the state.

WA has two ADU bills this year and here's the lowdown.
TL;DR = The strong ADU bill, HB 1337, is what the doctor ordered.

Itβs amazing what happens when arbitrary vibes-based zoning codes are reformed.
RT @danbertolet@twitter.com
Seattle's 2022 ADU data is in, permits still on the rise, ~3X more per year than prior to reforms adopted mid-2019.
WA's ADU bill HB 1337 would set statewide standards similar to Seattle's, hearing on Monday at 1:30, your support can help!
