The 3 core truths of politics:
1. Housing should be affordable
2. Housing should also be limited and expensive so homeowners’ net worths stay high

No one “decided” to screw over anyone. The issue of parking in a major city leads to unavoidable trade-offs as it grows, and I’m glad leaders chose not to bulldoze a ton of Seattle for more parking.

Yes! Why this is not common sense policy is beyond me.
In response to a question about considering cutting funding for highway expansion projects to fill the budget shortfall, @juliareedwa.bsky.social doesn't want to spend another dollar on highway expansion until we address our existing backlog of maintenance of our transportation infrastructure.

The next step, whatever we decide to do, is removing the current catwalks and ladders. They’re old and breaking. I assure you they’re not salvageable.

I’ve thought the same thing. I think it could work without needing any new infrastructure, “just” land acquisition.
It’s not lost on me that Broadmoor was one of the only places to vote *against* the medic one levy. They will certainly fight it, but it should be done.

It can’t be said enough, active military know it is their DUTY to refuse orders that violate the law.
Trump, who never served, ordering the murder of veterans who merely remind other soldiers of the oath they all took, shows how little regard he has for our service members.

What a disappointment. LA deserves better. As @goldy.horsesass.org said, the most humane, pragmatic, and progressive thing those of us in the free blue cities can do is build a shit ton of housing so that every American who wants to move here can.
