Nikkita Oliver is the only candidate in this race offering practical solutions to the problems Seattle faces.
People who want Seattle to remain a tax haven for the wealthy paid a lot of money this cycle to trick you into thinking that Oliver is an ideologue and that Sara Nelson is a “practical progressive,” but, as it turns out, the opposite is true.
For decades radical white activists stormed city council meetings to defend racist zoning laws that maintained segregation and led to a massive housing deficit. In response, Oliver proposes re-legalizing apartments all over town, taxing wealthy corporations to build the kind of housing the market won’t build for poor people, and protecting tenants so they can keep the housing they already have.
