I don’t know how deep the typical lots are in Seattle, but around here (metro LA), that would typically go partway into the lot behind the one fronting the car sewer. So the upzone wouldn’t affect more than just that arterial.

I’ve switched to Claude. Mostly I’ve been asking it about municipal compliance with California housing laws, and it’s wrong sometimes, but better once I point out the mistake. Very useful for teaching me how to do new things with various software programs. Still not perfect, but useful.

Sign me up for that! I mean, ideally that shouldn’t take a change as drastic as the west coast of the US seceding. There are high-speed trains across international borders in Europe, right?

One on the long list of requirements that make our construction more costly and complex than it needs to be, continued for tradition’s sake rather than being based on empirical evidence.

California being part of Canada would be such a win-win. Talk about synergy.

How much of our money are they wasting on that?

Woodside? Are you crazy? Everyone knows Woodside is full of mountain lions already! Otherwise, they would welcome duplexes and ministerial lot splits!
