New Housing law Signed by The Governor
WASHINGTON — At a time of soaring home prices, rising homelessness and a housing crisis in Washington that will require 1 million homes over the next two-plus decades to keep up with population growth, Gov. Jay Inslee on Monday signed a law legalizing duplexes and fourplexes in most neighborhoods in nearly every city to increase the state’s housing supply.
House Bill 1110 overrides local zoning rules that have long kept large areas in cities for only single-family homes. The new law will not ban the construction of single-family homes, but it will stop cities from requiring neighborhoods to have only single-family homes. read more on komonews.com
Consumers lean on store credit cards to offset financial burden
Consumers are running credit debt balances to a combined half a billion dollars. This according to the three(s) credit trade bureaus quarterly reports. The increase is lead by Gen Z and Gen X generations.
According to TransUnion’s Quarterly Credit Industry Insights Report, bankcard balances rose 19% during the third quarter from a year ago, reaching a record $866 billion. This was driven heavily by a growth in Gen Z and Millennial borrowers whose balances increased 72% and 32%, respectively, according to the report.
At the same time, private label total and average credit lines have reached record highs as well as the average number of accounts per consumer, according to the report, the consumer credit reporting agency said.
This increase is caused by the myriad of economic challenges facing consumers from “this environment of high inflation, and secondarily by the higher interest rates that the Federal Reserve is implementing to tamp it down,” Michele Raneri, vice president of US research and consulting at TransUnion, said in a statement.

Julia Roberts conversation on Martin Luther King Jr.
Julia Roberts revealed that the late Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King, paid the hospital bill for her birth when her parents couldn’t afford it.
While in conversation with Gayle King, the “Erin Brockovich” star explained that her parents befriended the Kings while living in Atlanta and running a theater school.
“One day Coretta called my mother and asked if her kids could be part of the school because they were having a hard time finding a place that would accept her kids,” Roberts said, referring to segregation in the 1960s.
“My mom was like, ‘Sure, come on over,’ and so they all just became friends, and they helped us out of a jam.”
It previously has been reported that a Ku Klux Klan member blew up a car outside one of Betty and Walter Roberts’ plays in response to King Jr’s daughter Yolanda being cast in a role where she had to kiss a white actor. Courtesy Pag Six
