Appendix B: Community Input Summary Everett Housing Action Plan B-9 <br /> <br />What priorities do you feel are important for the City regarding housing types and <br />affordability for future residents? <br /> <br />More senior housing options 28.62% <br /> <br />Additional comments: <br />Housing Types <br />• Very limited options for a single person. Studios/1-bedroom apartments are expensive and usually still based <br />on two incomes so hard to find housing for one person. <br /> <br />• Alternative ideas like tiny homes, container housing, or mobile homes. <br /> <br />• I worry that all supportive housing is going to be packed on 99 and Broadway and barred from other <br />neighborhoods. In general I think supportive housing is more successful when it's smaller and mixed into <br />neighborhoods that don't have a lot of pollution and noise. <br /> <br />• Open to creating housing for displaced residences with city (mini homes) and have options to cohabit with <br />partners and/or pets. <br /> <br />• TINY HOUSES should be allowed in property of Everett city owners. Affordable, small footprint, and generally <br />accessible to most. <br /> <br />• Everett has a housing crisis. The baker heights units sit empty while folks sleep on the streets. This is shameful. <br />And the new units coming seem to be about gentrification. We do not need more middle and upper middle class <br />white fold. We need diversity. We need low income housing. We need housing for the unhoused. I own my <br />home, but if Everett becomes as gentrified as seattle I will leave. I want a community that reflects and embraces <br />all income levels. <br /> <br />• More senior citizens/disable population require respect+tolerance though within limits; important rules/'house- <br />rules' should not be ignored. ALL-together in one building is not same as one family under a separate roof= no- <br />brainer, hence RESPECT is key to adhere to rules/rental contract. <br /> <br />• City Council needs to advocate for the most vulnerable at the risk of going against neighbors and homeowners. <br /> <br />• Open to creating housing for displaced residences with city (mini homes) and have options to cohabit with <br />partners and/or pets. <br />More opportunities for home ownership 59.87% <br />More opportunities for rental options 45.39% <br />More housing choices near job centers 29.93% <br />More housing choices with convenient access to transit 46.38% <br />More housing choices near shopping and other services 36.51% <br />Housing compatibility within my neighborhood 32.89% <br />
