I get a sense that SDOT staff, under the Harrell administration, are "complying in advance" of anticipated mayoral pushback. If @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social gives staff permission to be bold and then has their back when things get tough, SDOT can do groundbreaking work.

All four were considered, public/local preference went in different directions. What bakes my noodle is why “Downtown Redmond” was considered brief and easy to remember while “Redmond Downtown” wasn’t. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:
In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

I’m not going to read more into the beef here, but it’s worth noting that a family of four making ~110k-130k qualifies for low-income housing in four counties in the Bay Area. Choosing not to build housing pushes everyone on the housing ladder deeper into rent burden and poverty.
just read some Substack post with a maybe quarter-baked argument that the "real" poverty line is $136,000. come on
