Pre-approved designs is a way to build housing faster, cheaper, and easier. I’ve proposed this for multiplexes in Seattle - we can partner with architects and community to create designs that reflect our history and culture. Housing can be affordable and beautiful.

If I were a reporter on the housing or affordability beats, I would ask all candidates running for office if they “support allowing child cares and grocery stores with apartments on top everywhere?”

@bigtimedumbguy Capital gains is a tax on selling stocks, bonds, and other financial products with profits more than $250,000. In all of WA state, less than 5,000 people pay it. They are very, very wealthy. While some of them may be renters, they are definitely not low- or middle income.

My family is car-free. We use transit to get to work and school, appointments, visit our loved ones - everything. The viewpoint of people who live the impacts of govt decisions is missing and it shows. I stand with riders, renters, and public school parents - because I am one.

Something I think that's true when the majority of decisions around transit are made by electeds who don't use it: what leaders who do use transit say should carry more weight.

D3 has some of the densest housing, jobs, and services in the state. We’ve done our part to build a sustainable city and need the transit access Midtown Station will provide. Eliminating it harms our neighborhoods and diminishes our potential.

Once again I implore local media to acknowledge that the N/S option for @soundtransit means eliminating Midtown Station. Midtown will have 15K+ daily riders, the 3rd highest in WSBLE. This is not a footnote - it's a catastrophe for hospital and office workers and residents.

My transportation plan calls for the City to provide free transit to anyone in Seattle who lives car-free. Seattle already has a nation-leading program providing free transit to low-income residents, and we can build off this momentum to invest in people and the planet.

In the wake of the state Supreme Court ruling finding that the state’s capital gains tax is a legal excise tax, and with the City facing a revenue shortfall, I believe a municipal capital gains tax is a fair approach to addressing this funding gap. #alexhudsonforseattle
