0% of Seattle is zoned exclusively single family housing. Everywhere it's legal to build more than one unit per lot.
And the trains have absolutely resulted in both increased density and upzoning.
Greenwood and Phinney ridge are both "suburban" but totally walkable.
All we need to do is properly fund transit. It's not hard, it's just not cheap.
- coryrc 4y agoI would not consider something you can't sell separately (ADU) a "unit", which would make me disagree with your second sentence. The light rail doesn't go to Phinney or Greenwood, but I meant Lynnwood, Shoreline, etc stops. It's not just "not cheap", it's ruinously more costly than cars. Housing just isn't dense enough to bake it affordable.
