2023-08-24 City of Portland Bike Parking Technical Memo w illustrations.pdfRoger Valdez
The Street Trust is proposing changes to Portland's bicycle parking code to remove barriers to housing production and make the code more equitable. The current code requires overly prescriptive bike parking dimensions that reduce usable space in units. The Trust recommends simplifying requirements, increasing flexibility, and centering user needs rather than prioritizing bikes over housing. Specific proposals include reducing long-term bike parking ratios, cargo bike space dimensions, removing the 50% cap on in-unit parking, and making some requirements advisory.
The letter urges the Bellevue City Council to maintain its current relaxed restrictions around parking within a half mile of transit. It provides three key reasons this exemption is important: 1) Mandating parking increases housing costs today and in the future. 2) Requiring parking undermines investments in transit and encourages more driving. 3) People seeking housing and those providing it should be able to decide themselves whether parking is needed or valuable. Maintaining the exemption will reduce housing costs, support transit, and give people options to live car-free near transit.
The document is a letter from the Foundation for Equal Opportunity (FREOPP) to members of Congress regarding using tax incentives to support more affordable housing. It makes two main proposals: 1) Granting tax incentives to private developers who restrict rents on a portion of units, similar to programs in Seattle, and 2) Expanding tax credits for families to apply to their rent payments to provide immediate assistance. Taken together, these could motivate local governments to remove barriers to housing development. The letter requests further discussion of these ideas to implement tax incentives that efficiently produce more affordable housing units and assistance.
This document summarizes arguments against Charter Amendment 29 in Seattle, which aims to address homelessness. It argues that CA 29 will:
1) Make it harder to clear encampments by requiring a complex "balancing test" for each individual camper before clearing an encampment.
2) Violate good governance principles by amending the city charter, which should define government structure not policy, and lock 12% of the city budget into homelessness services indefinitely.
3) Have numerous unintended consequences by invalidating existing laws and setting legal precedents around issues like land use and law enforcement without understanding the full implications.
Overall, the document claims that while more housing and services for the homeless are
The document summarizes that:
- A review by the Center for Housing Economics found that Dayton's actual eviction rate is far lower than the 25th highest in the country as claimed by the Eviction Lab, and Dayton ranks over 100th nationally.
- The Eviction Lab uses only 2016 data and does not clearly define eviction, which can vary legally between places.
- When using HUD data, Dayton's eviction rate is under 2% and not high enough to be ranked by the Eviction Lab.
- Getting federal rent relief distributed would actually help people hurting in Dayton more than changes to the eviction process.

This order denies the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment and grants the defendant's cross-motion for summary judgment. It finds that the three Seattle ordinances establishing defenses to eviction due to financial hardship during COVID-19 do not conflict with state law and are therefore not preempted. While the ordinance provision staying late fees is preempted, the rest can be harmonized with state eviction statutes as establishing substantive defenses rather than conflicting with the statutes' procedural framework. Controlling Washington precedent has established that the state eviction laws provide only procedures, not substantive rights, so local governments can permissibly provide additional defenses.
$25 billion will be allocated for rental assistance from 2021 through September 2022 for households impacted by Covid-19. The CDC eviction ban will end on January 31, 2021. State and local governments will distribute funds to households making less than 80% of the area median income who are at risk of homelessness or have experienced financial hardship or unemployment due to Covid-19. Housing providers will be paid on behalf of eligible renters unless they refuse payment. Renters or providers can apply for assistance on the renter's behalf if they cosign the application.
The document is a letter from Roger Valdez of Seattle For Growth to members of the Seattle City Council regarding a communication from the Seattle Renter's Commission urging an end to credit checks for rental housing. Valdez argues that eliminating credit checks is not a solution and does not help people with poor credit or economic challenges. Instead, he suggests having a serious discussion on how to better assess risk for housing providers through alternative methods or a city fund to offset risk, while also helping renters improve their credit through successful tenancies. He invites the council to have a collaborative conversation on sensible ways to reduce risk and help people with economic challenges succeed.
This letter from the Director of an organization opposes a bill, SB 5160, being considered by the Senate Housing and Local Government Committee. The Director argues the bill does nothing to actually help those struggling due to COVID-19 and that it introduces uncertainty for housing providers by allowing non-paying tenants to remain for months without consequence. The letter urges the Committee to shelve the bill and instead focus on distributing rental relief funds provided by the Governor to help tenants pay rent.
The document appears to be a listing of page numbers from the 1984-1985 volume 94 of the Yale Law Journal. There is no other substantive content beyond the repeated listing of "HeinOnline --- 94 Yale L. J." followed by a page number ranging from 1 to 70.
The letter requests that Governor Inslee convene representatives from housing providers to provide advice on designing a rent relief distribution program for funds allocated by recent federal legislation. The program should pay full unpaid rent and utility bills for affected households, consider current income for eligibility, pay at least 90% of funds directly to housing providers, limit third parties, use existing lender relationships, make direct electronic payments, allow future rent/utility payments if COVID impacts continue, and modify eviction bans to allow eviction of tenants who can pay but aren't. It emphasizes that the law requires payment to housing providers, and state and local governments must work quickly with property owners to ensure resources reach those most in need.
$25 billion will be allocated for rental assistance between 2021 and 2022 to help households impacted by Covid-19. The CDC eviction ban will end on January 31, 2021. State and local governments will distribute funds to households making less than 80% of the area median income who are at risk of homelessness or have experienced financial hardship or unemployment due to Covid-19. Housing providers will be paid on behalf of eligible renters unless they refuse payment. Renters or providers can apply for assistance on the renter's behalf if they cosign the application.
This document discusses incentive zoning and inclusionary zoning policies. It summarizes that incentive zoning allows increased development in exchange for public benefits, while inclusionary zoning requires affordable housing units be included in new developments. However, the document argues these policies are flawed because they are based on the false premise that more housing supply increases prices. It also claims the fees can make projects infeasible and constitute an illegal taking of private property without compensation.
This document summarizes data from a 2020 Housing Stability Task Force presentation by the Colorado Apartment Association. It finds that rent collection rates have remained strong in Colorado during the pandemic, at only slightly below 2019 levels. Eviction filings have also slowed significantly since April 2020 compared to typical levels. The data shows no correlation between eviction filings and changes in unemployment or average rent levels in Colorado. The document concludes that Colorado is not experiencing a housing crisis in terms of ability to pay rent or eviction rates. It argues policies should focus on decreasing the time and costs associated with the eviction process to balance housing access and stability.

For the past twenty-five years, I have been involved in public policy in the areas of education, health,
and housing. Most recently I was housing director at a large regional non-profit, managing housing
operations and development. At the same time, I have been an advocate for progressive supply side
solutions to housing scarcity, and it is usually lack of housing that keeps cities expensive for poorer
people and families. My background as a staff person for state and local elected officials, work in the
non-profit sector, at a sustainability think tank, in political campaigns, and in the public health field
have culminated in my work for Seattle For Growth, a housing and growth advocacy organization
pushing for more housing supply for all levels of income in Seattle.
