Why did Spokane use an emergency ordinance for housing rules?

AP plexes in the middle of that time we also went ahead and made parking optional within a half mile of Transit so uh we've had a number of different reforms that have kind of taken place and they all start to blur together even for me um but the I think the way that we passed our uh Missing middle legislation was pretty unique because we decided to do it through an emergency ordinance which meant that we didn't need to do all of the front-ended community engagement work all of the you know sea NEPA analysis all of the all of the process basically took place after the legislation was already in place which meant that we didn't necessarily have all of these big community community meetings where people come out and say oh God this is going to cause disaster uh because people recognized oh these these rules are already in place so it kind of obviates the the actual opposition well so what was the what was the political landscape like such that you could do something like that I mean in many places that would seem pretty radical I think there's a couple things so our city council is was very unique
