Seattle housing and El Dorado Hills cityhood developments

A Formation report suggests that Seattle could address its high housing costs by adopting upzoning strategies similar to those used in Austin, which added 120,000 homes.

In California, the El Dorado Hills Community Services District has cleared a significant environmental hurdle under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This development is part of a bid for cityhood that would allow the area to take land-use control away from the county.
