It's the first week of April, and things at the City Council are heating up faster than a sunny afternoon at Denny Blaine Park. First up: CM Cathy Moore initiates a debate over developer profits and offers a controversial proposal to expand the Mandatory Affordable Housing program (MHA) to Seattle’s current single-family zones. We ask: why can’t we quit bickering and build more shit? Then, rising gun violence. A critical audit of the City’s prevention efforts is raising tensions between Council and the Mayor’s Office. The question we all want answered is, "Why is Seattle's rate climbing when others are dropping?" Plus, a non-binding resolution on "defund the police" that had us perplexed. And why did some skip the resolution vote? Finally, a potential $47 million payroll tax shortfall. Can Seattle afford … Seattle?

Our editor is Quinn Waller.
