Ha, they're hoping they can stop the open heroin use by having construction projects take over all the sidewalks... yeah, sure, that'll work. But seriously, what kind of source is this? Stop population decline? "Seattle loosen"??
They want to stop a certain type of population from declining. Can’t let them be replaced, y’know! Of course, the planet’s human population is exploding… unless you don’t consider some people to be human.
That's usually what it is, but I was confused why that particular group would even care about downtown zoning regulations in a place like Seattle. 🤷
Yeah, it is an odd name for a group that is anti-NIMBY, pro affordable housing, etc. If you look at their about page, they seem to want to address the underlying issues of people just being able to live and couching it in population decline, which is...a choice.
