For folks testifying, a reminder that is happening *tomorrow* (8/27), starting at 10 AM (virtual) and noon (in-person), while written comments will still be accepted until Sept. 8. It shouldn't take over twenty years to build a housing project, but we can still get this one across the finish line.

The conversation around MHA often talks about the impact of MHA on for profit development - but we don’t hear much about the more than 4,500 families that have a home now because the MHA program helped them afford one. www.theurbanist.org/op-ed-the-ca...

INBOX: Journalists at the five McClatchy newspapers in Washington and Idaho (the Idaho Statesman, Bellingham Herald, Tri-City Herald, Tacoma News Tribune and The Olympian) are calling a one-day strike today over wages and AI protections. That means no clicking on any links to their sites for today.

A screenshot of an email that says "We've had enough of McClatchy's bad faith bargaining."

Text from an email that reads:

"Hi friend,

We're officially on strike. Journalists across Idaho and Washington's five McClatchy papers are calling a one-day unfair labor practice strike today, May 26, to show our hedge-fund owned company that there is no paper without us.

We're the ones chasing lawmakers down at our state capitol buildings. We're the ones listening to local business owners, attending court hearings to get the full story on crime and diving headfirst into why traffic is worse.

Yet our corporate owners won't even send their decision-makers to the bargaining table to deny our reasonable requests for a living wage and AI protections."

Text from an email that reads:

"But we need your help.
Don't cross the virtual picket line today. Don't click on links for the Idaho Statesman, Bellingham Herald, Tri-City Herald, Tacoma News Tribune or The Olympian.

Show McClatchy that you know you deserve reliable information, not AI slop. You want to know what's happening in your community, good or bad, and that's not possible if reporters can't afford to live where they cover.

Sign the pledge to not cross the virtual picket line and help us in our fight for a fair contract!"

We were happy to be one of the staunch supporters of SB 6091 - the bill to ban pocket listings! If we are to build a Washington where everyone has a safe, decent, and affordable place to call home, then we need to make sure that starts with access! www.seattletimes.com/business/rea...

The legislation comes amid a heated debate among major real estate players over private listings. The dispute is especially fraught in Washington, where private listings are already rare.

Good news: HB 2304, which exempts condo buildings of up to 4 stories and 12 units from Washington’s strict condo liability regime, has passed the House! It moves on to the Senate. If it passes there, it’ll be time to move on to the harder work of reforming liability for larger buildings.

“For families like the Cornejos, who waited years to close their Habitat home in Seattle, every month of delay means another month of housing instability. Redundant reviews slow housing production without improving environmental outcomes,” Makinster said.

An interesting take on funded IZ here. I’ve admittedly been one of those with “eyebrows raised,” but this could be an interesting way to thread the needle on maintaining the need for housing funding and open market production… Not sure it’d work - but it starts the conversation!

It’s wild that we spend years, with significant community engagement, to draft comprehensive plans, and we don’t automatically update zoning codes to match those plans. Instead, American planners often need to restart years of new battles to change zoning. This system has so many veto points

Who calls the shots where you get your news?

Is it the dull, eyebrowless son of one of the richest men in the world? Is it shareholders, for whom it's expedient to roll over in the face of nuisance lawsuits by the gangster state? Is it one of the private equity firms grinding media companies to dust to eke out returns?

Is it someone who will fire a journalist for accurately describing Charlie Kirk’s beliefs? Is it a severely confused Brit? Is it the “rogue employee” who reprogrammed their company’s chatbot to urgently inform users about the “white genocide happening in South Africa”?

Not if you read Defector. The 27 of us who work here own the company together. We have no outside investors, so we have no mandate to maximize shareholder value. We don’t take money from gambling companies. We aren’t out to fatten up and get acquired.
