I guess they want to put everyone in one of those new 200 square foot coffin homes?

[Patriot Babe]

Sounds very Commie like community. O wait the “enlighten” ones are communist. Our cities will look like China and perhaps Russia with all those houses looking like boxes. The Democrats want us to live in boxes.

Agenda 21 and communism on the move.

[redangus]

I wonder if the mayor and council members will be the first to bulldoze their homes to make room for Carbine Green West?

but what they'll get is everyone with the means will be gone.

Seattle talks out of both sides of their mouths........

Just yesterday they were talking adding a tax per mile driven

And now they want to make it so we are squished in together so no one will have to drive as the stores will be right there.

Good Lord, I am so glad that I have at most 40 years left on this Earth. I can’t take it anymore and hanging with Jesus sounds very appealing when I hear stories like this.

They could move in some unused Army Barracks form Ft. Lewis.

[PROCON]

Meh, there are plenty of nearby suburbs to live at and watch Seattle self-implode.

[CommerceComet]

I guessing that all the stately mansions on Queen Ann Hill will be grandfathered. Too much money and power reside there to allow this to apply to these neighborhoods. Liberals like to make rules that apply to the “little people” who need help to run their lives but exempt themselves from them because they’re special.

"Today, as Seattle expands rapidly and experiences massive economic and population growth, we are held back by policies and historical precedents that are no longer viable for the long-term survival or our city," the draft letter from committee co-chairs Faith Pettis and David Werthheimer states.

In this context, their approach is brilliant. It solves the problem instantly by ending all that massive economic and population growth. Genius!

Here’s an idea — let the market decide if the idea that all families can live in their own home on a piece of land.

[ScottinVA]

Right... force residents to accept quarters in high-rise apartment buildings and require them to use public transportation.

It’s all about control.

[Cincinatus]

"Your house is big enough for 13 families, comrade!"

[ScottinVA]

The draft letter says that single-family zoning has "roots in racial and class exclusion."

And THERE is the basis for it all. Just as their Soviet forebears, these communists believe the fact the bourgeoisie have too much and they need to be knocked down to the level of poverty enjoyed by the rest of the masses.

[GreyFriar]

Apparently those communists believe that the scene of multiple families being moved into the Gromeko mansion in Moscow after the revolution should be the standard for Seattle. (reference to movie/book Dr. Zhivago)

[PA Engineer]

We've been there before. Welcome to Cabrini Green. The first experiment in equal misery, suffering, poverty and death.

[ElkGroveDan]

Rebuilding the Soviet Union one step at a time. Only THIS time we’ll get it right. Utopia is just around the corner.

[WKUHilltopper]

It’s an UN Agenda 21 program. The country is subservient to it.

LIEberalism is a MENTAL DISORDER!
