COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

摘要

According to a report by Reuters, Seattle's mayor has unveiled an affordable housing plan aimed at creating 20,000 new living units for low-income city dwellers over the next decade, more than a quarter of them to be paid for by private developers. Mayor Ed Murray said his proposal was aimed at addressing an overheated real estate market, fueled in part by the growth of Seattle-based Internet retailer Amazon.com and other companies, that is pricing out low- and middle-income residents.
