Seattle could increase its housing stock by 4x by building at the density of Brooklyn. It doesn't even need to do that much to become affordable. That isn't hard, it's just a matter of allowing it to happen.

I don't know why you're being downvoted, most of the sqft limitation is due to severe height and building restrictions in zoning outside of the downtown core. That's just fact.
