Seattle voters received Prop 1B campaign mailers riddled with lies about social housing. Don’t be fooled. Vote for Prop 1A.
Last Friday I was dismayed to find I had received a shiny mailer full of lies about the social housing ballot initiatives in Seattle. I suppose that social housing’s backers should be flattered that their opponents couldn’t come up with much in the way of real criticism and had to resort to dishonesty instead. But it is still sad to see this kind of duplicity happening in our own community, not just at the federal level.
I was also sad to see that my mayor, Bruce Harrell, was featured with a giant picture and a supportive quote. It is, however, a fitting way to cement his already lackluster legacy when it comes to the housing crisis he has done so much to create and so little to address.
