I think it's good when cities are legal, and I work at Sightline Institute to make that happen. My takes on here, though, are no less than 100% mine.
Scissor stair bill is coming in WA...

Scissor stairs were allowed in high-rise but not low/mid-rise?

Was there any legit reason for that?

I did it for apartments a few years back.

Matt have you published a case study of this building?

I think it would be helpful for people to see the basic specs, like FAR, lot coverage, setbacks etc.

Because any middle housing zoning should allow this building at minimum.
