		<description><![CDATA[More than 75% of speakers at this month's hearings backed broad legalization of two ADUs per lot. | How do you say, again, something that ought to be obvious: That if people want to, they should be allowed to build little homes in the backyards of a beautiful city? After four years of navigating seemingly endless legal appeals from a handful of anti-housing homeowners, Seattle&#8217;s housing advocates showed up again this month to say as loudly as ever that secondary cottages should be legal in more situations, not...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Visualizing Seattle’s plan to tip the scales from McMansions to cottages and in-law suites. | Which sounds better for affordability? Tear down an older, modest home and replace it with a “McMansion,” or&#8230; Take that same house, preserve it, and add an in-law apartment and backyard cottage? Seattle residents and policymakers have spoken: They&#8217;d prefer more modest home choices instead of the massive, flashy houses popping up across the city. To act on that preference, Seattle is on the verge of adopting a set of...]]></description>

		<title>What Kind of Homes Will Seattle Choose?</title>

		<description><![CDATA[More affordable, modest-sized homes, or more McMansions? | Next month, the Seattle City Council could lift regulatory barriers to small, flexible housing options in the city’s land use code. This would help neighborhoods across the city welcome more granny flats, mother-in-law apartments, and backyard cottages&#8212;rather than keeping current rules that exclude those cheaper options and instead invite more oversized, single-household &#8220;McMansions.&#8221; Making it easier and less costly to add attached (or detached) accessory dwelling units, or (D)ADUs, can...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The final recommendation has a lot of good, a little bad, and a few more hurdles to clear. | On Thursday, Seattle published its Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) on loosening regulations on mother-in-law apartments and backyard cottages&#8212;accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in wonkspeak. The endorsed set of rule changes gets most things right, but also comes up short in a few ways. If you haven’t been following the drama, this is the latest chapter of Seattle’s effort to make it easier to build ADUs and help address the city’s...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Multi-family historic housing exceptions provide homes in opportunity-rich neighborhoods for more than 12,000 Seattleites today. | &nbsp; Thanks to map maker Jeffrey Linn of Spatialities for his tireless work to make this map as accurate as possible. Also thank you to CartoDB for providing Sightline with a grant to use its map hosting services. Note 3/9/17: The four maps showing the growth of single-family zoning in Seattle since 1923 show the overarching story of this zoning type in the Emerald City, but may not be precise down to the city-block...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In-law units and cottages are rare in most places. | Last time, we defined accessory dwelling units and told their story &#8212; how they spread so far and wide in Vancouver, BC. This time: their near-absence elsewhere in Cascadia. Most other Cascadian cities appear to trail behind Vancouver, BC, in the ADU leagues. In British Columbia, Abbotsford, Kelowna and other cities have embraced ADUs with at least a portion of Vancouver’s conviction. The mid-sized city of New Westminster stands out...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Four great things about Vancouver’s laneway houses. | There’s an alley renaissance going on around the world. It was born of a renewed love for urbanity that came along with the droves of young, artistic types shunning the ‘burbs and re-populating North America’s inner cities. They brought with them a desire to turn what have traditionally been neglected and ugly inner-city dumping grounds into vibrant, art-adorned, pedestrian-friendly public spaces. Vancouver, BC—the city that has served as a North...]]></description>
