Maybe to not the same degree, but the same issues - NIMBYism, a focus on SFH, a sense that established residents are pursuing housing policy that punishes younger / newer residents.

- loeg 8y agoYep, you are absolutely right that there is still (some) NIMBYism and an overemphasis on SFH in Seattle. The distinction I want to draw with SFBA is the degree. There's a tipping point where the NIMBYs have enough power to block all or most upzoning and development, and I think — fortunately for us — Seattle has not passed that threshold. SFBA has.
