Campaign themes

2017

Moon's campaign website included the following themes:

“

Housing Affordability

  • Increase tenants rights to provide stability and protections to renters. The Seattle Renters Commission is a good first step, but we can do more to help renters.
  • Prevent evictions of families with children and safeguard transitional housing for families and victims of domestic violence.
  • Exponentially expand affordable housing from only 6% of Seattle’s housing market toward a goal of four times this share. Cities that have solved this problem show that more public and nonprofit housing is an essential tool to achieving overall stability in housing costs.
  • Pursue viable alternative housing options for working people in the “missing middle” like duplexes, triplexes, townhouses, ADUs, congregate housing, community land trusts, co-ops and co-housing while maintaining the unique character of Seattle’s neighborhoods.
  • Implement targeted taxes or other mechanisms to deter corporate and non resident real estate speculation to strengthen neighborhoods.

Transit & Access

  • Add more bus transit and protected bus lanes because when transit is fast, convenient and reliable, people use it.
  • Make walking and biking a more viable form of transportation with a complete network of protected bike lanes and safe sidewalks.
  • Be ready with bold solutions to keep downtown flowing when the tunnel buses come to the surface in 2019. The One Center City plan must focus on equity, on protecting the Chinatown/ ID neighborhoods and on improving transit service broadly throughout the city.
  • Recognize disability rights as civil rights. Almost 20% of people live with a physical or mental disability. We will ensure the rights of those with disabilities are given the same attention as other civil rights.

Homelessness

  • Prioritize long-term supportive housing options and housing first approaches. Vouchers offer only a temporary reprieve; this funding ends up in the hands of for-profit landlords, leaving families to face the same unaffordable rents after their vouchers expire.
  • Work with shelter providers to identify how to help long-term residents transition to more permanent housing.
  • Provide more low-barrier shelters that allow the right mix of options to match needs, such as allowing pets and enabling couples to stay together.
  • Address the immediate need for emergency shelter with temporary solutions like more self-governed tiny house villages hosted by churches and neighborhoods as we get more lasting solutions in motion.
  • Expand shelters for women and victims of domestic violence that are essential to their survival.
  • Invest in treatment for mental health and drug and alcohol dependency.[1][3]
