Well you liberal, so called green minded boulderites, Seattle now has a new zoning ordinance designed for small scale implementation of affordable housing and diversification through backyard "cottages" or second dwelling units being allowed. Horray! with seemingly simple rules, these structures would be much like Boulder's ADU or OAU program but probably easier to get - which means less barriers to creatively addressing the affordable housing and economic issues facing our building industry in a way that doesn't promote sprawl....

On another note, the REBURBIA competition is complete, and while i didn't do an entry due to my workload, i found this series of sketches to be pretty rad and general informative and inspiring --
