Are demolition and redevelopment pushing people out?

Question: So therefore we're not seeing that so often, and we look at Spokane as this donut hole, where, like, everything's happening right across the city limits and not within the city, based on a lot of our regulations. So, and speed being one, it's like, why are we so slow? I don't know what that answer is, but I look forward to the report to tell me why we're not as fast as other cities.

Answer: Are people being pushed out of their neighborhoods because home prices are going up? Is that a piece of it? Or what are you hearing about why people need to move to be in a great neighborhood? Not being pushed out because home prices, they're not able to afford. So the homes are being purchased, torn down, and then redeveloped, and that does not, in many cases, fit the character of the neighborhood, and certainly not the price point of the people who were living there prior to that. So a piece of this conversation is, maybe, I don't know, protecting is the right word, but figuring out how to solve for that: people staying in their neighborhood and still allowing redevelopment that works. Absolutely. And really, the neighbors are talking about our low-income neighborhoods, and so then, I think from my observation, we're really struggling with a displacement issue. Yeah. Currently, in our low-income neighborhoods. Okay. Thank you. Council Member Klitzke. Thanks. Back to the timeline issue of the permitting process, and when is the best time to have community engagement, or the meeting that we typically require. Yeah, I think
