Seattle voters approved the city to create a new organization to develop “social housing’s” type of affordable housing.
The goal of social housing is to equitably alleviate that housing crunch by creating apartments and townhouses that aren’t subject to market speculation.
Similar social housing experiments have proven successful in a handful of other places — most famously, Montgomery County , Maryland , and Vienna , Austria .
Seattle voters will be asked whether the Seattle Social Housing Developer should be funded at all.
Proponents say that the answer depends on how the developer gets funded.
Proposition 1A would create a new excess compensation payroll tax that advocates are backing.
Supporters expect it to generate more than $50 million annually to create 2,000 new units.
