Family-style
atmosphere
keeps Senior
Center going
by Mary Akamine
On weekdays from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.,
the Polynesian Senior Center comes a1 ive
with senior citizens. MostarefromSouth
Seattle,others from West Seattle, White
Center and Burien. Their ages range
from the early-60s to 104.
The highlight of the day is lunch. It's
usual1ysimple:riceorbread,afewgr~n
bananas, and a portion of meat. But It'S
the way most of them bke their mealscooked Samoan-style. And it's cheap:
$1 per meal on a donation basis.
After lunch, everyone sits at the main
table, themenatoneend and the wo men
a t the other, each bu sy \-vith handcrafts.
For the men, it might involve making a
traditional warclub or playing nickel-acard bingo. The women's activities
might involve a class in lei-making.

instead of flophouse conditions typical of many SRO- single-room occupancy- buildings, Oak Tin residents
will have a home to take pride in.
Beforethenenovation, the building had

meters along the walls. Several dozen
tenants lived in 60 tiny rooms with no
kitchens or nmning water, sharing one of
the building's two bathrooms. Larger
families with severalchild.ren lived in two
or more of the single rooms.
With the help of city, s ta te, federal
an private fu nding, a total of $13
million, the Oak Tin has undergone a
remarkable trans formatio n. The exterior brickwork and Chinese-design

those nearby laugh knowingly.
Pale VaJailc, age 54, the center's
founder anddirector,explains why some
traditional foods like balsami' are rarely
served there: "Ir you buy a taro root it
costs about $12," he says. Catering to
Samoan tastes in food can be costly.
"Samoans like to ea t seafood," Pale says.
"The other day I bought some crab ...1t
ended up costing over $80."
The family-style atmosphere is one
reason why costs have s tayed low.
Friends and relatives of those at the
center often volunteer there, helping
cook, dean, drive or coordi nate activities. To date, as many as 18 volunteers

Real estate
realities fuel tax
inequities
by Ron Sims
If you've been angered by the recent
newS about skyrocketing property tax
increases, that's good -it means you./ve
taken the first step toward dOing
something aoout it.
.
Few issues deserve closer scrutiny
than the inequities built into this state's
tax structure,and the current tax uproar
should help bring this issue into sharper
locus.
By relying so much upon property
taxes and sales taxes, the state of
Washington uses taxes which are heavily
regressive. That is, instead of having a

Wi th proper ty taxes, the inequ ity is
lessobviolls, bu t it's still there. Property
taxes are based u pon the fai r market
value of real es ta te, and on paper, thi s
may seem fair: the more valuable your
property, the more you pay. Yet, this
theory is badly flawed when it comes to
thcrealityofrealestate, where the value
of your home can be set by factors that
have noUling to do with your ability to
pay.
You may have bought your ho me 10,
20 or 30 years ago when prices were
affordable. Or, you may live in a
neighborhood where new residents have
made renovations, then sold at high
profits, inflating values. Or, like many
people, you may not regard your house
strictly as a financial asset.
Houses aren't just real estate- houses
are hom es,and many people w i ll not, or
cannot, sell to take advan tage of today's
high values. Yet, under our tax struc ture,
