   Seattle's measure 1A to create a municipal #socialHousing developer appears to have passed! The measure will raise roughly $53m per year to fund social housing. Background: https://www.theurbanist.org/2025/01/28/prop-1a-ballots-have-arrived-determining-social-housings-future-in-seattle/

     @scott Seattle's late arriving ballots have been overwhelmingly progressive (dunno why progressives vote late there, but they do). I predict 1A will top 60% when everything is counted. It's such a big fuck you to the (mod equivalent) city council, who really tried their damnedest to kneecap social housing.

     @kingrat The same trend happens here to some extent. It was why Connie Chan and Chyanne Chen won despite both trailing in the first count. Anyway, go Seattle, and now we need to do it here!
