If this was really about government efficiency then we’d investigate highway widening projects before high speed rail & congestion pricing

By a 42-6 vote, the Washington Senate just approved a bill directing the state to adopt standards for passenger and freight elevators that are more reflective of global standards, including a specific requirement to allow smaller elevators in buildings with fewer than 25 units.

This is why you have to let markets go wild during an upswing. Cities that "overbuilt" during the upswing thanks liberal zoning and permits (e.g. Austin, Minneapolis, Seattle) will be alright. Cities that didn't (e.g. Los Angeles, New York City) are about to experience a lot of pain.

I flew twice over the weekend, and was delayed 45+ min both times. On the return flight, the pilot said it was because there wasn't enough ground staff.

North American cultural hangups around tall buildings force us to accept low rise urban neighborhoods with fewer trees and less green space. There is a better way to build, and all we have to do is legalize it!

I don't want to minimize Seattle's tree canopy loss during development, but it is a fraction of a percent of our total tree canopy. Surely we can more than offset the less than 0.25% tree canopy loss with new public trees!!!! (from the One Seattle FEIS, pg. 3.3-15)

It takes 240 trees to absorb the CO₂ produced from one car in a single year. Building dense, walkable cities where more people can live a car-free lifestyle saves trees in the exurbs and makes a bigger difference than the most heavily forested backyard.

This is really exactly what it comes down to. At the end of the day, the YIMBY folks and tree folks can find a lot of common ground, as long as both come to the table in good faith and with an open mind.

I arrived at 4pm, and spoke shortly before the council closed the whole thing down. This unrepresentative meeting basically excluded everyone with a strict 9-5 schedule.

Every word I read about congestion pricing reminds me of when they reintroduced wolves in Yellowstone and the whole ecosystem started working correctly again.
