>Seattle City Council’s land use committee held the first public hearing for a proposal to do away with the “single-family zoning” label on Wednesday, drawing overwhelming support from those who spoke

>The bill — sponsored by Councilmembers Teresa Mosqueda and Dan Strauss — would replace the city’s single-family zoning moniker with “neighborhood residential zoning” instead. While it won’t change the actual makeup of Seattle’s density, it’s seen as a necessary first step toward more equitable housing practices, while doing away with a term regarded by many as rooted in discriminatory policies.

Its nothing (yet)

If this was in a city that wasn't full of retards it could be a good thing.

What the fuck is single family planning?

It's totally neutral then considering that either way the working class is typically fucked either way. Landlords bleed workers dry and home ownership is impossible for most people who aren't part of the labor aristocracy.

no zoning law gets passed without it benefitting the rentier class

Do you really think it will make any difference in a city that is already urbanized on every available piece of land?

Seattle is building apartment buildings and seeing more people live in single family homes. Thats it. There is no room to end single family zoning and create terrace homes or multi-use buildings.

What we should be doing is pushing suburbs to allow multiple types of housing and never have strict single family zoning laws. Imagine having single family homes, terraced homes, apartment buildings, lofts, condos and townhomes on the same street. You could have a huge availability of housing types that would lower prices and destroy all the problems that come with suburban housing. These cities talking about it doesn't mean much to ending the problem.
