Seattle Nice

Why was Seattle's original draft plan for more dense housing watered down?

David Hyde, Erica Barnett, and Sandeep Kaushik Season 3 Episode 13

big Publicola scoop shows how Mayor Harrell watered down a draft comprehensive plan for "significantly more density in more parts of the city, including single-family neighborhoods, than the final version Mayor Harrell released in March."

The pod discusses and debates the policy and the politics, in light of recent polling that suggests most Seattleites crave more density.
