Anti rent gouging in #Seattle & #WAState is just common sense. Anti rent gouging by putting some limits on year to year rent increases that lead to self-eviction is good consumer protections.
#SeattleCouncil is largely made up of homeowners who bought themselves rent control. The idea that we can solve homelessness while allowing unlimited profits on housing and allow homeowners endless increases in their home value while renters just get higher and higher bills is wrong.

1) is a commitment to building 3 *pilot* low-emissions neighborhoods by 2028. Specifically included is a super-block idea, which I really like.

*BUT* five years is a long time, and it's a rare infrastructure goal that gets done even close to on time.

Still, it's a start and CM Mosqueda can tie her plan to create a Capitol Hill super-block to this commitment.

I appreciate Debora Juarez' preference for brevity. (Why yes, I have been listening to city commissioners bloviating, how did you guess?)

Read about Teresa Mosqueda's comments on our comprehensive plan work in @urbanistorg . Just sent an email to her office to thank her for her work and those comments.

While of course I want yimby leaning candidates to run for Seattle city council in 2023 I care more about how they will vote on policing, sweeps, social housing, public bathrooms, human service worker compensation, rent control, income tax, public banking, municipal broadband & safe consumption sites.
