So nothing about the persistent dysfunction and incompetence that has plagued this effort from the beginning? For starters, we're almost 3 years in and they still can't even put together a proper website, e.g. they list on their main page as "upcoming" a meeting on October 16th 2025. Then, they're supposed to have 13 board members, but the website only lists 6, and none of them are remotely qualified for their position. There is a "social equity strategist", a "queer Black ciswoman", and a "vehicle resident" among others. Also, there was the accusation of racism that prompted them to hire a consultant to investigate their own biases, and the CEO that the website still lists as "new" has already been ousted in some sort of palace coup. The interim CEO, as the Seattle Times dryly notes, "does not have experience in housing development". But yea, lets give $100 million/year to this clown show (instead of the well run Seattle Housing Authority), surely that will work out.

"We regret the errors."

This could be put at the end of just about every article by The Stranger as a default.

“After three years, two ballot measures and Tuesday’s City Council vote, Seattle is one step closer to being a more affordable city.”

What a load of horse shit - mark my words this will not do anything to help the majority of Seattle renters (but it will be a giant graft of City revenue for those connected to this unelected, corrupt board).

You cannot solve regional / State / Federal issues at the city level.

If Seattle ever manages to build any kind of significant public housing, I’m sure it will be every bit as successful as other great public housing projects such as Cabrini-Green and Pruitt-Igoe.
