few things are more important to me than the vibes of who I’m going to be living with.
I think it’s fine to have this an ideal of equitable treatment. But actually experience of living alongside someone who doesn’t fit in and gives bad vibes is pretty terrible in reality.
This market segment feels super durable to me. Large Luxury homes in the best neighborhoods are always going to have a market and competing in the space isn’t so easy, design and execution needs to be perfect. Vs the dense THs options right now are getting crushed
I was really disappointed to get the email from transit riders union opposing the MFTE updates. And coversely really proud of Rinck for supporting amendments that are actually gonna help house more ppl.
We really need more of this pragmatic focus on outcomes and less virtue signalling.
I saw this myself. I lived in the Othello urban village and walked to the othello link stop most weeks. I built an ADU in my backyard and for the last 2 years have been renting it to a black family. I then moved out of the main house and sold it to another black family.
That'll be an interesting question. Will the 1.6FAR be applied to the whole project or only for for stacked units. Doing a mix could be interesting. Would reduce the risk especially if taking advantage of the 2 floor + 1st level parking exemption the state leg gave us. Wouldn't market risk thi
Yeah this is amazing I cannot wait to use this. Could do 6 1200sqft units on a 5000sqft lot across 3 stories and still have room for 4 parking spots in the back
Not everyone preference, but lots of demand for this location. I would bet if 20 more could be built tomorrow they’d fly off the market for ~1M$ a piece.
This is a townhome development in Greenlake you’re looking at the back doors of these units. And if you live here you’re across the street from one of the best parks in the city.
The way I read these amendments you basically have to put 2 medium/large species trees in the front setback. If you have a driveway there you might not have the required area dimensions.
