Sweet.

This is going to be great for encouraging transit use, especially with the 6 story plus retail building at N 34th and Stone Way N that is going up.

Oh, and all you NIMBYs ... spillover parking usually only goes a block or two away. If you want a private driveway, build one for yourself on your property, the streets belong to everyone, especially taxpayers on bikes and pedestrians who subsidize your cars.

Nooo! This is worse then a thousand Hitlers! Another pearl harbor against cars!1!!1! When will cars start fighting back in this war!1!111!'???

Tune in tomorrow to the Seattle Times comments to watch 600 people (most of them not from Seattle) piss their pants over NO PARKING REQUIREMENTS!!!!
Typical comment: "Nobody ever goes to Seattle anymore because there's no place to park!".

Othello Place has an insanely high vacancy rate when it is supposed to have a waiting list.

@5 Othello Station, you mean?

maybe it's because they have parking. nobody needs parking and therefore all those folks are moving into apodments instead.

So you are saying that if it had less parking it could then have room for even more transit? Like a small tram that goes from LINK to its atrium? And then it would fill the empty units?

Could be.

He's saying that if they hadn't had to build so much parking, the rent would be lower and more competitive. The cost to build a parking space is similar to adding a bedroom.

aPodment ftw!

@9 for runner up.

@5 I think it's about 90% full now, and I've heard the last few units have issues.

Good news. Any word if the corner store proposal will come back?
