Build baby build—any units are good units
Gill compares Spokane's multifamily tax exemption with Seattle and Bellevue. He describes Spokane's affordability requirements as relatively loose, not absent.
"It's used, I think, very well in cities like Seattle, Bellevue. They actually have stricter rules than Spokane has around affordability with those units. But Spokane has kept it relatively loose in part because of I think the consensus that we have on our Council around just build baby build like any units are good units at this point."
