INEQUITY REVEALED

HOMEOWNERSHIP AND HEALTHY LIVING GAPS ONCE IDENTIFIED BY ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE PROVEN THROUGH FINE-GRADE DATA


“I’m going to be the voice telling cities you’re going to have to rezone this and add density.
  


Cities are fighting a lot of this stuff, but otherwise, nothing will be available to the majority of families,” said Kyoko Matsumoto Wright, a REALTOR with Coldwell Banker Bain and mayor of Mountlake Terrace. 


“I’d love to get rid of single-family housing (zoning), but I also know that politically, that is difficult.”

 

Mountlake Terrace is getting a light rail station and while that is raising prices, it also can create opportunity, in the vision of Matsumoto Wright – who serves or has served on local, regional and statewide affordable housing boards.
