How is that even a city? Single family zoning is a suburban desert at best. Even remote villages have more life and vibrancy than that.
- gamegoblin 4y ago80% of Seattle is zoned for single family units. It's not exactly a suburban desert, but it could be much better. Unfortunately, even very limited legislation (HB 1782) allowing upzoning to duplexes/quadplexes ("missing middle" housing) within walking distance of public transit hubs failed earlier this year. NIMBYism abounds.
