Seattle needs more housing, that’s a widely accepted reality.

How and where we build that housing is a lot thornier.

Enter: the One Seattle Plan, the city’s proposal to address our housing shortage. 

The details are still getting worked out, and some people don’t want these changes in their neighborhood, while others argue it doesn’t go far enough.

We hear from Ryan Packer, the Contributing editor of The Urbanist and Queen Anne resident Michael Lapin.
