[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I might write in Vistdaht (after I learn how to spell his name). I feel like that's enough of a protest vote without supporting somebody who disturbs me. He seemed to be the best I've seen as far as a board member caring about schools. [/quote]

That will do nothing to stop the missing middle candidate.  It’s a throwaway. It’s better to vote someone who may actually, possibly, please have a chance.[/quote]

"Protest votes" are irrational and don't accomplish anything except possibly ending up with an even worst candidate.

As I say with every election, grow up and vote like an adult. Pick the least bad option.

In my mind the least bad option is the one who opposed missing middle. I say that as a Democrat who supports smart growth.[/quote]

How do you support smart growth, which requires density, and oppose missing middle? (Not a fake question -- I really don't understand how you make that work)[/quote]

I would support more flexibility and more smaller condo and apartment buildings (along with high rises) but not unlimited multifamily housing everywhere with no automatic breaks to adjust if schools get too overcrowded or water runoff get bad in a particular neighborhood. [/quote]

You can start with transit corridors - like they assured everyone they were going to do at the beginning of all this.
You can limit it to duplexes (and triplexes on the medium sized lots); and 4-8 units on the R-20 lots.
You can increase the density in the Langston Blvd plan.
You can plan for schools and public transit now and start developing a real mass transit system now.
You can require AT LEAST one full off-street parking space per unit.[/quote]
