When it comes to land use in Seattle, that would be refreshing! We need leadership to help us embrace density and to make sure it is implemented well (with space for arts and cultural, thriving businesses, parks, and other amenities). As residents, sometimes our weaknesses get the best of us, at the expense of our neighborhoods. Let's see some courage and vision from our elected leaders.
