- manfredo 8y agoIt's still only adding one unit of housing for every three jobs.
- fwip 8y agoSo, if construction can't keep up, that means we're adding jobs too quickly.
- marssaxman 8y agoThat is the fault of Seattle's extremely conservative zoning code, under which somewhere between two-thirds and three-quarters of the city (depending on how you measure it) has been left frozen in amber, restricted to suburban-style single family housing only. Opportunities to build are scarce and therefore expensive.
