City Hall takes a step to invigorate downtown Seattle by allowing higher residential towers.

    They want to stop a certain type of population from declining. Can’t let them be replaced, y’know! Of course, the planet’s human population is exploding… unless you don’t consider some people to be human.

      I dare you to make less sense.

        They were referring to the fact that most of the time when you see a name like “Stop population decline” that means they are into great replacement theory. The comment made perfect sense, but I don’t think it is accurate in this case. The site seems to focus on making better housing in cities

          The comment might make sense in another context but I have no idea what it has to do with Seattle’s Zoning Regulations

            It is in context to the name of website

      That’s usually what it is, but I was confused why that particular group would even care about downtown zoning regulations in a place like Seattle. 🤷

        Yeah, it is an odd name for a group that is anti-NIMBY, pro affordable housing, etc. If you look at their about page, they seem to want to address the underlying issues of people just being able to live and couching it in population decline, which is…a choice.
