Back in 2018 we organized alongside @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social @carymoon.bsky.social @holz-bau.bsky.social Tiffani McCoy and AIA’s COHO folks around the Mercer Megablock.
That land still sits empty!
What will happen now?

Happy to report that the pro-housing crowd has in fact shown up in Bainbridge Island tonight.
At tonight's Bainbridge Island council meeting: a rep from the city employee union spoke first during comment about the fact that many employees commute from far off the island because they can't afford to live there.

The next speaker spoke against affordable housing, but felt "awkward" about it.

One of the most important things @houseourneighbors.bsky.social has done is they have celebrate success every single small medium and large step of the way. This is critical for movement building.

Thanks to @robertcruickshank.com over on Instagram explaining this topic for people who might be new to thinking about it; why stop at just Seattle! We had the fiber spine; let’s do this across our region!
For years a working group of Share the Cities met with officials at the state, county, and local level. We met with the current Mayor and County Executive and most of the Port of Seattle. We know what needs to happen. #UpgradeKingCounty

@girmayzahilay.bsky.social @organizewithshaun.bsky.social @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social are all champions for public broadband; the enemy of this project is interagency coordination and noone wanting to be in charge of this giant construction project
The @portofseattle.bsky.social should manage it

I'm in walking distance of the lightrail in seattle and I'd switch asap if it were available at the same price as centurylink/quantum/lumen/att at 1Gbit symmetrical.

@theurbanist.org we’ve heard that Sound Transit put in 2-3 times the broadband fiber it needed in the light rail spine; the community deserves access to this infrastructure!

How much money has the City of Seattle had to pay out due to police incompetence? Why is it all happening now? Did Mayor Harrell delay all these payments cause it was an election? The timing of all these payouts seems odd!?!? (This is just wild speculation and not based on any insider info.)
