The Pacific Northwest And Manufactured Housing
Frustrated by today’s housing costs, the Seattle city Council has taken one giant step towards fixing the problem. Their fix? Establish new “linkage fees” on all real estate developments for the greater Seattle area. These new fees are primarily meant to help establish and create affordable housing opportunities – like today’s manufactured homes – for the area’s blue-collar workers. Thereby providing low-cost housing for the areas law enforcement personnel, teachers, nurses, and firemen who serve the city of Seattle.
The Pacific Northwest And Manufactured Housing: The Cure To Homelessness
According to the Seattle Times, “The novel idea behind the new fees is that real-estate development and growth bring more people into the city to live and work. That creates more demand for affordable housing, according to the supporters of the new linkage fees.”
While Seattle’s technology sector has no doubt made many millionaires over the past decade… it has also driven up housing prices for the areas less affluent locals. According to Trulia, the median sales price for a single-family residential unit in Seattle Washington (between July and October 2014) was $437,500. That represents an average sales price of $241,325 for a one-bedroom home, and $615,875 for a four-bedroom home. A particularly pricey range considering that the average median income for a Seattle household is $49,297.
