More housing options sprouting up in Spokane
Don’t look now, but it seems like Spokane’s housing reforms are working. Our city has rightly earned praise from across the state and country for legalizing more housing in all neighborhoods, but back in 2022, when our City Council started taking these actions, it took a big leap of faith that they would actually have the desired effect.
