Another day where I'm downtown in #Seattle, realize the library is closed (as is city hall) and it's a holiday monday so many cafes closed and so no idea where to go 💩 so I just stressfully hold it till I take a bus close enough to get home. Sure I could try each open business walking possibly a mile or more, but it would be an uncertain, stressful and possibly demeaning encounter each time. #toilet #phimby

Plan a green, equitable Seattle that embraces mixed uses and incomes

Seattle's Urban Villages created two cities — where wealthy homeowners live in single-family neighborhoods and renters are pushed to high-traffic corridors.

The two most important things you can read when engaging in #Seattle #CompPlan ahead of tomorrow's last @SeattleOPCD meeting in this round of outreach are these two opinion pieces:

Seattle Is Ignoring Major Support for Social Housing

We absolutely cannot build the city we want and deserve with the current OPCD proposals and fake calls for community input.

I like that the term Middle Housing has gained momentum because it helps me clearly see who is a "#YIMBY for me but not for thee" type. If you only ever talk about #MissingMiddleHousing, #MixedIncomeHousing, #MixedUseHousing, and #Parking mandates, but you never talk about #PublicHousing #UniversalHousing and #StructuralChange, your housing advocacy is incomplete.

If you don't know what I mean, that's ok. If you know what I mean but don't change then your an ass.

Become a #PHIMBY.

How to Be a Housing Ally (Or, Why I’m Not a YIMBY) - Erin Reeves - Medium

There’s a new battle around housing gaining attention in the media: the YIMBYs vs. the so-called NIMBYs. The YIMBYs, or the “Yes in My Backyard” folks, declare themselves to be “pro-housing” — that…

The debate about #housing in the US is often framed as a battle between #NIMBY ("not in my back yard") and #YIMBY ("yes in my back yard"): against or for market-driven increases in housing stock in particular neighborhoods.

CityLab (part of The Atlantic) takes a look at the "#PHIMBY" campaign in California by several democratic #socialist chapters: Public Housing In My Back Yard.

Meet the PHIMBYs

Advocates demanding “Public Housing in My Backyard” are fighting a California bill designed to boost density in transit-accessible neighborhoods.
