Seeing Many Sides

I've lived in Bellevue since I was 12 and have largely lived with family. I don't have a ton of experience in searching for housing, but I work with many tenants and landlords through the Conflict Resolution Center and the general feeling I get is that there is a demand for more affordable housing but there is also a push against expansion because people want to keep things the way they are. The other concern is related to building on environmentally sensitive land.
