		<description><![CDATA[And in the few places it wouldn't, shrinking plex sizes slightly could protect particular areas. | In Portland and Cascadia’s other growing cities, housing displacement and exclusion seem automatic. They happen without government action. They are the status quo. Even if Oregon were to pass a dramatically tighter version of the rent stabilization bill it&#8217;s now considering, that alone wouldn&#8217;t do a thing for tenants who want to move, which of course just about every tenant does at some point. And that&#8217;s where allowing more homes...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What Seattle's draft study tells us&mdash;and doesn't&mdash;about displacement. | Cascadia’s largest city, Seattle, just released its draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the proposed Mandatory Housing Affordability (MHA) program, a core part of the city’s Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda. (I’ve written about MHA here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.) The question that looms largest for many is whether upzones proposed to allow larger buildings should be scaled back in areas with high risk of displacement, as suggested...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seattle experiments with community-owned hubs and job incubators. | The patch of ground at the southwest corner of Martin Luther King, Jr. Way South and South Othello Street, kitty-corner from the Othello light rail station in Seattle’s Rainier Valley, may not look like much now&#8212;an overgrown sidewalk, a few incongruously jaunty “O!hello!” signs, and a whole lot of weeds. But in the next few years, it could be Ground Zero for a new type of real-estate development&#8212;one championed by...]]></description>

		<title>Event: Homeownership: Receding Dream or New Approaches?</title>

		<description><![CDATA[A panel on making ownership possible for moderate-income people in immoderate housing markets. | Since at least World War II, homeownership has been one of the main paths to accumulating assets in the United States. Redlining and other lending rules welcomed white families onto this path, but excluded families of color from the mortgages and neighborhoods that allowed them to build wealth. The resulting patterns of inequality in ownership persist: the net worth of the average US homeowner is now $195,400&#8212;36 times the average...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How the Rose City is taking on displacement and affordability challenges. | Editor’s note: This article combines and adapts three articles by the Portland for Everyone coalition’s Michael Andersen. See the originals on this blog, and learn more about the group here. Portland’s approach shares similarities with the Seattle Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda recommendation to allow small duplexes and triplexes in single-family zones without letting property owners erect buildings larger than currently zoned. Growing cities across the US and Canada are...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A before-and-after photo tour of Seattle’s real demolition trend. | The story is deeply embedded in popular perceptions of the modern city: modest, low-cost apartments succumb to the wrecking ball to make way for ritzy highrises, putting working-class residents out on the street. The displacement caused by demolitions of low-cost housing can be devastating to poorer families and their communities, and urban advocates and policymakers widely agree that minimizing displacement is a critical public policy goal. In the case of...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What can we actually do about it? | In Seattle and other fast-growing cities across Cascadia and beyond, bitter stories of people priced out of their homes and of affordable buildings torn down for new construction are all too familiar. The sense of injustice we feel about these stories is well justified. Sightline recently assembled focus groups&#8212;random samples of long-time Seattle residents&#8212;to talk about the housing crunch, and strong feelings about housing costs ran to a fever pitch...]]></description>
