The plan, which proposes the creation of 330,000 new housing units by 2044, has sparked a mix of support and skepticism among city leaders and residents., who represents the 4th District, expressed significant concerns about the plan’s implementation and transparency.
“Our outreach is important because I know there may be some local factors that the mayor’s office and OPCD did not take into account in their still-draft comprehensive plan,” Kettle said. “I do believe in densification and building more housing. But we need varied types of housing and varied zoning. Clearly, skinny townhomes cannot be our future.”While speaking with “Seattle’s Morning News,” Rivera highlighted the frustration among her constituents, who feel left out of the planning process.
“The streets are narrow, not just in District 4 but across the city,” she said. “Not being able to see the plans for how you are going to accommodate that growth is really frustrating. We got these plans about a week ago.”“How are we going to ensure that our sewer lines can manage the added growth and that our public transportation system can handle it?” Rivera asked.
