This is what I mean when I say we cannot be held hostage by the small percentage of people who are living in absolute terror of the city. Public safety concerns are rational, we all want a safer city. If you view visiting pike place market as Russian roulette, you are delusional

'Anti-choice Republican Dave Reichert is a self-described “conservative” who opposes marriage equality and reproductive freedom and voted more than 37 times to repeal Obamacare. Whether or not the chaotic Republican Convention endorses Congressman Reichert doesn't change the fact

Why did Tanya Woo and her allies on the City Council vote against a very simple reform that would allow nonprofit developers to build more wonderful projects like this? kuow.org/stories/new-se…

‘“I don’t know who’s supposed to build our housing, if it’s not developers,” Councilmember Tammy J. Morales’

spot on. developers have built every home we have over the last 100+ years, even the affordable ones.

Incredibly shameful. #Seattle buried its highway so it could replace it with a gorgeous surface. . . highway! A lesson in everything going wrong.

It would be good - for safety as well as for workers - to see this lead to unionization of Boeing’s South Carolina factories.

OK I've seen enough. @uaw wins big in Tennessee. Biggest win in Chattanooga since Grant kicked Bragg's ass on Lookout Mountain.

Shoutout here not only to the current workers and organizers in the South, but to the ones who never lived to see this day--Myles Horton and the others at the Highlander Center. Lucy Randolph Mason and those trying to get the CIO to do Operation Dixie right. So many.

What a huge, gamechanging win!

Millions of Americans are stuck living in overcrowded homes, dealing with rent burden, forced to stay with abusive partners/family, or living with roommates they’d like to ditch.

We should build homes for them!

A weak Seattle Comprehensive Plan gives cover to OTHER cities across the state—like Richland, Vancouver, Wenatchee, and Liberty Lake—to maintain their exclusionary housing policies.

It is essential to advocates ACROSS THE STATE that Seattle do far more to legalize housing.

My neighbor has a 4 story single family home. I don’t understand what the big deal about 4 stories in Wallingford is about — it already exists.

There are absolutely equity focused emerging developers who are focused on #AffordableHousing . We need to give them the tools to be successful.

I would like to ask CM Woo to point to a single new affordable project getting funding this year, since she apparently knows of some that are 'already doing it'

Also is she aware that many other businesses also exist to provide profits? Shall we block for profit supermarkets?
