> strain on community services like schools Public schools take forever to build because they need to get a bond approved, procure land, find a builder, staff it, etc. If Washington in general and Seattle in particular were more open to charter schools, there's a better chance of schools keeping up with demand. Additionally, if Washington allowed a voucher system (it's been a while since I checked, but I'm pretty sure it's not allowed), private schools could also pick up the slack. > rapidly changing the demographic and possibly culture of the area Is that a bad thing? I'm okay with zoning laws in general, but for it to work, the city needs to be open to rapid changes in zoning.
