This doesn't make sense. There should be adequate parking. Some kind of garage. Stop doing this!!!

Micro units do not do well in West Seattle! This developer will figure this out too late.

This will create an area of congestion with little to no services for the people that would potentially reside there. SW Yancy becomes an extremely busy street for people trying to circumvent traffic even when the high bridge was operational. Street parking will cause accidents and if he residents do not have vehicles, the traffic is unsafe for pedestrians.

There's nothing to walk to in this location. There's a bus stop up around the corner. The on-street parking will just get more used up. It doesn't seem like a good place for this sort of development.

Truly makes no sense. Nor does SDOTs latest plan to “monitor” the West Seattle Bridge more closely. Building micro housing, with no parking, in this location makes no sense.

Ridiculous. Doesn't make sense. Haven't we learned that cramming people in confined spaces is dangerous & irresponsible for so many reasons!
