Seattle: "Single family homes are racist."



Liberalism is a Mental Disorder

  • The Socialists running Seattle think it is racist for people to get a job, save money, buy a home and live the American dream.  Now they are going to find a way to eliminate home ownership in the name of a Marxist utopia.


(My Northwest.com)  -  If adopted, ideas being considered by a Seattle housing committee would be devastating to the city's appeal, KIRO Radio's Dori Monson said.
Get rid of single-family zoning in Seattle. That's the big message in a draft report being worked on by Mayor Ed Murray's housing committee, obtained by The Seattle Times.
According to a draft letter, the city needs to move away from the idea that all families can live in their own home on a piece of land, the Times reports.
"Today, as Seattle expands rapidly and experiences massive economic and population growth, we are held back by policies and historical precedents that are no longer viable for the long-term survival or our city," the draft letter from committee co-chairs Faith Pettis and David Werthheimer states.

The draft letter says that single-family zoning has "roots in racial and class exclusion. The zoning remains "among the largest obstacles to realizing the city's goals for equity and affordability," the Times reports.
"So owning your own home, on your own lot, is a blow against equity, according to this draft report," Dori said.
Some of the challenges the city faces includes almost two-thirds of the urban land being restricted to single-family homes, the letter continues. The letter considers increasing density almost everywhere in the city, the Times reports.
With a 19-3 vote, the committee recommends replacing single-family zoning with zoning that would allow for more multi-unit buildings, according to the Times.
That means developers are going to buy up homes and turn them into duplexes and apartments, if the draft is approved, Dori said.

The socialists work for the banks. They work for the banks. Wall Street funded the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and they funded Hitler in Germany at the same time. The socialists are merely the bankers' thugs. Stop believing their lies and putting up with their treason!!!
