“I think I'm just in agreement all around. I mean, I guess a couple of questions or points. So for example, right now with the current residential zoning, In South Capitol, if there was an empty lot or a house for sale that somebody wanted to tear down, they could not tear it down and build an office building, correct? And that's not on the table? And there's no current movement in the City of Olympia to prohibit someone from purchasing a house that they're only going to live in for two weeks or one week or one day of the year, correct?”

“Well, I think that's the question, right? What's the incentive there if you set up a two-person business at an address somewhere else and you're now the employee of your business and you're running it out of your home, right? You're just a remote worker.”

“And to clarify on those numbers, what we're talking about right now are the registered home-based businesses, right, or not. That in no way accounts for any number of people that are just remote workers in South Capitol. That's correct, yeah.”

“Just piggybacking off of that, Greg, I think that's my question right now is what is in the current code would make that unenforceable if those houses are being used as office spaces. I really appreciated the comment about making it, I guess, more permissive for somebody to post a potential sales opportunity. I think that is an absolute example of more modernization in the code. Things that couldn't have been accounted for even 20 years ago, honestly. But I really do wonder right now what about the current level of complaints isn't enforceable if the houses are being used as office spaces.”
