Everything about this statement is wrong, beginning with the anti-apartment B.S. Multi-family housing is far more efficient for public services than single-family housing, and that should be obvious on the face of it. Granted, someone who doesn't live in downtown Redmond might not see how easy it is for folks there to get to everything from their homes without a car. Traffic congestion is coming from people--mostly single-family residents--who won't use transit.
