I’d argue more than four. Since the population is spiraling out of control, we should expect a need for large towers. It’s also an efficient use of space and if they are dense enough, could have all the shopping one needs to live in a few blocks. And it should be affordable assuming “market rate” goes down with supply, and that the owners don’t prop up the rental market
Tue but smaller.buildings have lower coat per SQ ft and Seattle is mostly single family homes at the moment so even fourplexes would hypotheticallyincrease supply by 3x
