A lack of available data throws a wrench in Seattle City Council's plans for affordable housing. Full story:
As an offered solution to the data problem, Pedersen has sponsored a bill which will “require landlords to submit rent and rental housing information to a research university and certify to the City under the Rental Registration and Inspection Ordinance that they had done so,” as the bill’s summary reads.
“We’re so far behind on this. There are other policy documents that the city has approved, stating that we want to prevent displacement. One of the ways of doing that is having better data, having this granular data, and nobody has that right now. So we’d have to do something now to get that level of specificity. Block by block, where the … affordable housing is, so we go in eyes wide open on how we’re gonna change land use or anything else around where those properties are located.
“I understand that your timeline is based around upcoming zoning decisions that are going to be made,” Nelson said Friday.
