Seattle's Experiment With Retail Design
29 December 2000 - 11:00am
Seattle Times columnist Mark Hinshaw reports on Seattle's experimental designs for retail buildings.
"New types of housing have appeared as expansion into the "exurbs" has been limited, as property values have increased, and as the cultural and social aspects of city centers and town centers have become richer. We've seen row houses, cottage houses and mid-rise and high-rise condominiums developed in numbers and locations previously considered unthinkable. We now are seeing these changes ripple into the retail sector."

No matter how one wanted to organize the ideal city, housing security would be part of it. No community can function effectively if large numbers of its residents are regularly displaced or perpetually at risk of being displaced.
