Reader isn't worried about downzone
October 3, 2008 · Updated 1:37 AM
I went to a meeting recently where a man in the audience told the
group that we would lose real estate value if our land was downzoned in the
new King County Plan 2000. I went home and thought about it. I realized that
my property was downzoned in 1989 and three years later I sold one parcel
of raw land for twice what I had paid for it. I sold my other piece of land
for three times what I paid for it. I bought both of the pieces of land a few
years earlier.
I did not lose money the last time my property was downzoned, so I
am not worried about it this time.
