Editor: One constant refrain often repeated in the Edmonds housing debate is the assertion that Edmonds must do 'its fair share' to alleviate the area's housing shortage. It can easily be demonstrated that Edmonds has created more housing than most cities and unincorporated areas throughout Puget Sound. Those other jurisdictions should undertake their 'equitable' obligation to develop housing rather than eliminating any single-family zoning in Edmonds. Edmonds' density is approximately 4,800 residents per square mile.
