#i135 — Public Fediverse posts

As is typical Seattle City Council is working one some bullshit to destroy our ethics code 🤨

A large crowd of Kshama Sawant supporters are currently in attendance at this afternoon's council meeting. Many of whom worked to pass some of the housing reforms this major ethics code change will likely also make it legal to destroy.

Then at 2pm the main showdown will begin, knee capping social housing.

One of the interesting marketing/get-out-thr-vote problems with the council's move is it changes how I-137 will appear on ballots. If they had not tried to make a sabotaged alternative it would just say "I-137" instead it will reas "Proposition 2" or something similar which is just enough friction to confuse a lot of voters.

Forgot about Valentine’s Day when I drew this comic for Seattle Gay News last week. I’ve only been a voter for ~6 years. Forgot that I signed a petition to get this initiative on the ballot last year. I should keep better track of this type of thing to save me research time every time I vote.

“Regardless of how you vote on I-135, every one of us must keep fighting long after Election Day for policy changes that will finally reduce the cost of housing. These include urgently-needed zoning reforms, voting yes on an expanded Seattle Housing Levy in November, and legislative efforts to make missing middle housing more available near transit. “ 3/3

#I135 #SocialHousing #Seattle

“Voting no would likely maintain the city’s focus on providing housing and services to the people in our community with the greatest needs. However, it also means we would be dependent on future zoning changes and private developers to build much-needed middle-income housing in Seattle at a time when many working residents are already struggling to pay rent.” 2/3

#I135 #SocialHousing #Seattle

From The Progressive Voters Guide:

“Voting yes on this initiative would be the first step to establish this housing model in the city in the years to come. However, voters should remain aware that a yes vote does not create or fund new housing. Building the social housing envisioned by this initiative would require several years of planning and implementation, and finding funding at a time of major budget deficits.” 1/3

Not seeing a lot about #I135, the #SocialHousing initiative currently on the ballot. Sharing the handful of (helpful to me) resources I’ve found:

- Progressive Voters Guide (NO POSITION): https://progressivevotersguide.com/washington/2023/school/county/king

- The Stranger (YES): https://www.thestranger.com/elections-2023/2023/01/26/78831748/vote-yes-on-initiative-135

- Nextdoor (I know, I know. NO): https://nextdoor.com/p/Y_hH2F4b-HYJ

- Campaign video explaining the funding (YES): https://youtu.be/oAYd15pfmz0

More discourse over at The Bad Place, mostly YES votes.

#Seattle @seattle

Vote YES on I-135 for social housing in Seattle

Social housing is not a panacea for Seattle’s ongoing housing affordability crisis. But it is one more tool the city can use to help alleviate ever-climbing rental prices. We need every possible solution we can get our hands on if […]
