Comment on Countries across the world use more land for golf courses than wind or solar energy
mosiacmango@lemm.ee 1 week agoSeattle is pretty desperate for housing. 40k new units, especially municipal owned one since this is a city golf course, would be a huge stride forward.
There are talks to convert this into a beautiful park too, but the city government is not intersted.

I’m pretty sure Seattle has an ordinance making changing a park to something else very challenging to impossible. Technically golf courses are parks, though I’d argue terrible ones, making it a much smaller lift to turn them into better (actual) parks and let the golfers go out of town.
