Excessive parking is a leading contributor to city heat. Parking minimums don't make sense except to the senseless and the politicians who kowtow to them.

Both create a tax incentive (reduction for properties with 20% or more green cover) and increase taxes for impervious surfaces (e.g. paved parking lots) - and create a program to support low income home owners to take advantage of the program.

Efforts to support moving human structures out of flood plains would be a good place to begin addressing this. Also and incentive program to support private land owners to maintain green cover would help mitigate flooding.

With climate change - more precipitation and sea level rise - stormwater management downtown needs a funded plan for both flood control, and for avoiding overwhelming LOTT's current and future capacity

We should build more housing in the already developed areas and stop sprawl

Climate change doesn’t have the probability of increasing the chances of wildfires in Olympia, and there are no examples of wildfires in Olympia Because Olympia is not a place that gets wildfires. This is just one of those issues that’s not very relevant to Olympia in a direct way. Sure, you can talk about smoke, but that’s not coming from Olympia nor can we impact that through our policy changes in Olympia.

Neighborhoods further way produce more carbon pollution (that contribute to wildfires) and produce fire district service issues.

Living downtown, I'm not concerned about wildfires. I would expect that the risk is higher on the outskirts of the city limits. I wonder if we could end up having (small) wildfires at our parks.

We need tightened operational practices for public and private water systems. We need every method possible to conserve and reuse water. We need to recognize that we can't grow the water supply yet population will likely grow. That means user must live with less. Due to seasonal changes, that tipping point where there is not enough water for population could happen in current dry seasons.

Industries such as fishing and tourism and outdoor recreation will be stressed and they will apply political pressure to leader ship in the state here in Olympia. The city will suffer, increased ostracization as political radicals that don’t do anything in the face of serious complex problems they are ill equipped to manage.

For example, using drinking water for lawns and in bathroom toilets is essentially a bad idea.

Begin moving now out of the low levels of Olympia, create natural areas along our waterfront for public/water level dependent use.

Even at the 100 year plus time scale, not much, is going to occur because of sea level rise. It’s just not gonna be a thing bros
