While Burgess drags for wanting to end exclusionary zoning, Bruce Harrell doesn't have a housing plan on his website. And Burgess' let them live on car sewers is a slap in the face. #HousingForAll

As a friend pointed out, the Bruce Harrell Plan for Density is segregating housing for renters and the non-wealthy along busy, car-clogged arterial roadways—or, as they described it, "density in car sewers."

Tim Burgess endorsed Jenny Durkan in 2017 and was dead wrong about what kind of mayor she'd be. Why should we take him seriously now?
I know Jenny well. I appreciate her rigorous approach to public policy, her careful analysis, and her ability to listen carefully and then make strong decisions. Jenny is a leader who will get good things done for our city.

— Seattle City Councilmember Tim Burgess said in an endorsement on Jenny Durkan's campaign website.
