Theoretically triple net means a lower base rent, but with rents like Seattle and being on the hook for property taxes when building/land values are high… it’s a lot of risk in a low margin industry.

Frankly it’s why our good scene in Seattle is not as interesting either. Too much risk.

Partially, the way leases are structured here is what I’ve kept hearing. Leases in Seattle are typically riple net. Costs are rent, utilities, AND building maintenance, insurance and taxes.

I’m not actually sure what commercial landlords here actually provide apart from the building.

Not to mention that $100 honestly results in a lot less food in Seattle than it does in Portland.

I forget sometimes that I really can’t eat like I used to. Especially sad when in the middle of a delicious prix fixe menu.

There is probably a parallel universe where my parents stayed in Oregon when they retired and I prioritized jobs in Portland when moving back from Canada.

If I squint, I can see what it looks like when I spend time here.

While walking this morning I had to laugh out loud when I saw that an SUV I’d seen parked terribly last night (practically in the intersection and 100% blocking the curb cut) got the double whammy of enforcement: a parking ticket & a neighborhood dog owner leaving a bag of shit on their windshield.

Jack Dickinson, 26, says “we’re winning this.”

Unbelievable
You know what's offensive? Wasting millions of taxpayer dollars on keeping hotel rooms empty when thousands of our neighbors are sleeping on the streets. GTFO with your feigned self- righteousness Bruce. We're over it.

Hey look, they found Bruce Harrell after he was asked a question about Adrian Diaz.

Stay vigilant! It’s a gateway OS! (Though do they still make gateways?)

LA: we will fight you.

Chicago: we will fight you.

PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

Puyallup or Sequim.

it really feels like you should need to be smarter than these guys to do the amount of damage they do

I appreciate that people want to be reassured by the clip from the from the ONG brigadier general.

But watch the full video, the biggest tell was how they answered the question of morale… by noting that many guard members had volunteered for this assignment and are cops in their civilian lives.

Love being jolted wide awake at 4:30 AM because someone is trying to loudly liberate a lint roller from my dresser so they can groom it.

Yes. I am glad the girls have a savings account that I don’t let them spend on catnip.

The more that comes out about various city projects and priorities that Harrell’s team stalled, blocked or killed—I feel like Wilson could have an extraordinarily effective first 90 days by just dusting off all the shovel ready projects and scheduling them.

I hope you find what you're looking for.
Especially if what you're looking for is a haunted cottage crafted of dark magic that floats through the mossy forests of the world, spreading fear and wonder in equal measure.

glad to be born at a time when i got to see what life was like before the internet and will be dead before AI completely destroys humanity

While Ramona is always the chaos monster, Beatrice is generally the real
troublemaker.

No more true than in the results of our annual cat inspection. Apart from them both needing a tooth cleaning—Ramona is in perfect health.

Whereas Beatrice might have kidney stones, like the jerk she is.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I do not wish to learn about the "protocols" of the social media site I am on. I just want to make lil jokes with my friends and not see nazis. Why is this so hard for anyone who makes a social media site to understand

This administration is going to result in the kind of map you’d find in the front of a dystopian sci-fi paperback. “Indigenous Nation Tariff-Free Trading Corridor” sounds like something Philip K. Dick would have with come up with in 1972.
