Seattleites support denser housing, but only up to a point, survey finds
More than 80% of Seattle metro area homeowners and renters support building denser housing in their neighborhoods, according to new Zillow research.
However, their support is conditional.
-snip-
While 75% of survey respondents in Seattle shared concern about the lack of housing, only 58% agreed that large multifamily developments, such as apartment complexes, should be built in their neighborhoods.
More respondents (82%) supported dense development under certain conditions, like the housing needed to be close to transit or parks, or that it had to cater to low- and middle-income families.
