I just need to clear all my go-to statements out of my system before I begin:
1. The two largest traffic destinations in the county are a few feet from each other on the tip of a peninsula (Bremerton), accessed through three chokepoints. There is no way to keep cramming cars into that funnel without creating a crippling rush hour.
2. The only lasting solution to the affordable housing crisis is supplying demand. Refusing to add supply doesn’t change the fact that the demand exists.
3. Given that we need to build housing, if you want Kitsap to keep its rural character, you have to allow central neighborhoods to absorb housing demand.
