Olympia has a planning problem.

All the high priced new rental units downtown (with over $10M in tax exemptions for their developers, even though no affordable housing is included) continue to buoy rents UPWARD for all, not downward. My son lives in a modern two bedroom apartment near Green Lake in Seattle, and it's less expensive than a new one bedroom here downtown. Our services don't match our rental prices....who wants to pay that much in downtown Olympia?

NONE of them are condos for sale....only rent. If you want older population to move out of their single family homes and free these up for younger families so that we don't cut down all our trees and clear all our beautiful farmland to build new single family housing developments in the city....why isn't anyone building condos for sale?

STOP GIVING TAX GIVEAWAYS UNLESS DEVELOPERS BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING!
