More on Housing

Follow-up to yesterday's thoughts about housing and growth.

Seattle Times article about growth, with an accompanying Google map showing growth by neighborhood in the 38 urban villages. Note, as I pointed out in my letter to City Council, that the "percentage of growth target" noted on the map is the sum of built and permitted housing units.

East Madison Street has many sites where developers went through the planning process (Design Review, public meetings, building permits in some cases) and then nothing (or something different) happened: "permitted" does not mean it's ever going to happen.

BTW here's a neighborhood-run meeting this Saturday to talk about growth and livability issues.
