Well stated Talauna, All but one of our current city council members and Mayor (along with a number of candidates for council) have been working simply as willing brokers or pimps for LLC real estate development investment firms. Under this leadership it's only a matter of time till homeowners and long term residents of Olympia will become a second thought to council members completely. We'll become just another 21st Century company town with rentals out numbering owner occupied homes. Real estate rental and leasing is the new big investment tool of choice for Wall street firms. This corporatization of what was once the middle class family nest egg and home into rentals is a problem running rapid in cities across the US. Instead of doing something to contain the fire, Olympia's city council is instead fanning the flames of problem. Olympia needs people like Talauna and Clark on council to watch out for its 99% ers.
