Getting It Right For West Seattle

[Costanza]

Just a heads up for anyone interested in keeping tabs on the development of West Seattle. They have a survey you can take as well to voice your concerns, excitement, etc.

Who is behind the website?

That is a horrible survey, poorly worded with leading questions. Obviously there is already an agenda the way the questions are worded.

Maybe they’ve never heard of Survey Monkey and how to write objective survey questions in order to get valid results?

According to previous article, the union is behind the website/campaign.

“The Whole Foods (and supermarket-oversupply) arguments made by the mayor above have also been voiced at prior project meetings by representatives of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 21, which, as noted in our preview of last week’s Design Review meeting, is spearheading a campaign called “Getting It Right for West Seattle” seeking a “community benefits agreement” for this project.”

I am a member of Union 21, but I do agree, this survey is badly written and leading.

This is not a way to get your point across or win fans. Although I think WF would be an amazing way to revitalize parts of Delridge, making a case needs to be better than this. I hope that this development does not end up where it is proposed to be, not only because of obvious reasons…. ie…. Small businesses suffering, but mainly because as a resident, the proposed development would completely bottle neck and congest that part of Fauntleroy, that section of road cannot logically support that type of traffic. 400 homes, with 400 give or take vehicles?

We have been a small town in a city for years and I get we are going through growing pains, I just wish there was more logic than greed. If you have a product that people want, they will seek you out. You don’t need to be an eyesore.
