If you’re a family in Washington State, wanting to live a simple life in the suburbs and avoid the problems of living in a city, then your state has a message for you: too bad! There, Governor Inslee is mulling legalizing multi-family zoning statewide, which would wipe out single-family only neighborhoods, replacing quiet, pretty suburbs with crowded apartment facilities.

Henry, first I'd heard about it was during Obama's years.
The basic premise was that it's unfair that those living in single home neighborhoods did so. Meaning that poor folks who didn't should be able to live in the same nice areas. Because of equity or something. What was never addressed was that folks in nice homes worked hard to get those homes. And the poor shouldn't have to do that for themselves & instead have the gubberment provide their housing.
I live in an upper-middle class area in this township & few years ago whomever proposed building public housing on an unused 5 acre lot right here next to homes across the road that likely average $200K or more in value.
Well, the commissioners & the folks in those houses raised Hell & the proposal was shot down. We've got plenty of public housing in this county. And if folks there want to live here, well then, they'd best get busy & work for it.
