Planners love it. It’s why they hold these meetings & listen to them. Its why when YIMBYs showed up to them and flooded Seattle’s planning staff with 10,000 pro housing statements they said “this wasn’t the right outreach” & went door to door to community council meetings yelled at by 7 people

Unless they’re for some reason talking about houses in Arizona, using “Tombstone Homes” to refer to renter housing is really gross

We bombed Iran without congressional approval and I still have chores and work and kids in sports and supper to make. Living through autocracy and another possible forever war while living day to day is wild.

Take a look at this new construction house in Woodlawn that comes with a built-in “junior ADU”. The junior ADU is a 1-bedroom in the first floor’s front half, while the main unit has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms and occupies the rear half and the full second floor

Want greener, cooler cities that are a “breath of fresh air?“ Just in case you thought Paris wasn’t ambitious enough this weekend, on top of our new exhibition, they opened the new “Urban Forest” in the square at City Hall!

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon.

The Housing Theory of Everything includes what happened to Bartell Drugs, by the way. With downtown Seattle too heavily balanced toward office workers over 24/7 residents, Bartell couldn't handle the pandemic and sold to Rite Aid as a result. Former CEO Kathi Lentzsch:

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the bad guys.

Rob Saka could've just realized everyone was laughing at him, took the L & moved on. Instead he quadrupled down on the one issue that unifies the whole political spectrum against him & will doom his reelection. He STILL thinks he can bullshit his way out of this but it just keeps getting funnier
