I’m a firm supporter of community housing models and was encouraged when council members Morales and Mosqueda visited Vienna and Nordic cities to observe and discuss housing with local officials and organizations, pre-pandemic. The real estate industry’s reliance on capitalist models here depends on boom and bust, prioritizes profits, exacerbating housing inequality, subverting community in elections. Media controlled backlash set us back, obscured visions.

Erica C Barnett has been critical of Housing Our Neighbors proposals in the past and offers perspectives on potential Seattle Council misdirections on the community housing funding. The previous council’s move of Jump Start funds from small business and other pandemic relief to the general fund is a painful lesson in the ways reactionary Seattle subverts progressive solutions. Current budget deficits are looming.

No wonder Katie Wilson is over ten percentage points ahead of Bruce Harrell: people here don’t want surveillance state but housing, childcare, wage fairness and transportation. Instead, what do we get from the Seattle Council? More cctv in Seattle, less accountability for police.

Cathy Moore quits Seattle Council. She wants to dish out the venom, but can’t tolerate scrutiny and oversight from discontented constituents.

There is still time to write to the council expressing opposition to this corruption. And definitely time to vote these people out of office.
“…the bill would have allowed the council's two landlords, Mark Solomon and Maritza Rivera, to vote on an upcoming Moore bill to roll back eviction protections passed by the previous council.”

I get more information about what and why budgets in Seattle Council and Washington Legislature are failing in 5 minutes reading the South Seattle Emerald than I do in weeks from the Seattle Times.

More cuckoo from Seattle Council’s Sara Nelson. When do we vote her out? Isn’t she “at large?” Surely we can find a worthy political activist who’s capable of running a campaign that speaks to residents’ concerns instead of this back room beer babe. (NB, photo is not of Nelson but Port Commissioner Toshika Hasagawa who opposes Nelson’s double secret process.)

King County is one of the most progressive jurisdictions in the US, yet our retrograde Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison wants to contract with this private for profit jail, SCORE to take arrestees. PubliCola reports 11 people have died there in the last 2 years. One interview was with the solo RN substitute. Shame on

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.
