I've been using Tidal since Google Play Music died and every day I gamble if basic features like "play one song on loop" will work or not. "Playing songs that I've downloaded when cell service is spotty" is a dream long ago forgotten.

This is tangential, but does anyone know why there is a carveout in the lane cutting law for the Keller ferry?

I'm just some dude on Bluesky, but it doesn't seem to me like it takes a genius to read that as "a lot of people are having trouble affording homes."

Somebody in 2023 needs $227k/yr for the median house to be as affordable as it was to the median household as it was in 1995.

I just pulled up two charts for the Seattle metro:
fred.stlouisfed.org/series/ATNHP... (house prices)
fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MHIWA... (median household income)
House prices in 2023 were 5.07x what they were in 1995, incomes were 2.7x what they were in 1995.

Not only do I remember this, I think about it embarrassingly often. I also remember a very funny "Clyde Hill, WA after the YIMBY revolution" quote tweet with a picture of the Hong Kong skyline or something similar that I couldn't find but has also stuck with me.

Of all the dumb things to stick in my head, I may never forgot the genius who tweeted that "Clyde Hill is fully built out." It's etched in my brain like a childhood cartoon theme song.
