Seattle is higher density than Houston, but it's not keeping up with demand in areas of high-demand. That's part of why so many people are getting priced out of their neighborhoods (especially around Capitol Hill)... an expanded and improved transportation network would help, but I understand the city is shackled by the county on that...
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoSeattle has a unique topography and is hemmed in even more than San Francisco is. Ya, you can save money by living in federal way, Everette or, in the past at least issaquah, but that means commuting.
- losteric 10y agoWe're not running up against those topological constraints yet. Consider Capitol Hill, rent is sky rocketing near Pike/Pine/Cal Anderson... yet there are blocks and blocks of single-family 2 story homes.
