I wonder how much advocacy could influence the huge Sound Transit Marymoor TOD site. Maybe something EU could inquire about.

Food courts are in Redmond's incentive program. Marymoor could use one

I would note that the Sodo rezone had massive IZ requirements, so I wouldn't give her any accolades if we're going by market rate purism = YIMBY. Meh on housing =/= pro-housing

Haha, I'm all over the place.

Seattle's comp plan gets the most politicized in our region. They were still implementing elements of the last comp plan in 2019.

I mention it elsewhere, but I think those are more interesting uses that couldn't happen elsewhere. Meanwhile, there's 80% of the other part of the city where housing could happily go. In a world where we're not radically changing the way zoning works, I think it's important to protect that 20%.

Lol. Oh I know, I think I've said all I needed to add to the discussion.

There's a millwork shop and warehouses. I'm also trying to make the point that some of the services there would not pencil and be unable to relocate anywhere else in the city. And that future industrial uses could make use of the land. Look elsewhere for more housing capacity. It's not hard.

Quick Google maps check would say so. I would also note there are a lot of businesses that could be easily displaced were it rezoned.

Are there "underutilized lots"? Sure. It's key to preserve them for future industrial uses, we're only losing industrial land. Cities are more than just housing.

Industrial jobs are critical to our economy. Industrial land is limited and unlikely to ever increase because it's unpopular to live around. There's tons of low density residential land to redevelop. That's usually the combo of reasons not to rezone industrial land.

*a bang.

You'd think that 5 years volunteering at the org would've caught that.
