Just an absolute self-own by the mayor’s office: Instead of trying to make housing more affordable, let’s just wait for unregulated units to become more expensive so these other units look good again.

This is not how we solve the housing crisis. This is not how we make a city for everyone

Team Harrell’s solution? Let rents get more expensive for everyone else so these units become “affordable” again. Jesus Christ.
Seattle Times screenshot: “Since the height of the building boom, interest rates and construction costs have soared, and developers have slowed new apartment production to a crawl. With tightening supply, housing experts say rents are on the verge of surging. "The vacancy issue should self-resolve at some point," said Christa Valles, deputy policy director in Mayor Bruce Harrell's office.”

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

You’re not wrong about ICE. But when Trump and Miller want to invoke the Insurrection Act (and they are planning on it) because of some protesters, this makes a clear message that it shouldn’t be invoked
