This makes perfect sense.

"By converting 120,000 of the city’s more than 500,000 on-street parking spaces, Seattle could meet its 30% tree canopy goal and distribute new trees equitably across the city. Today, Seattle’s wealthier neighborhoods have much more tree cover than poorer, more diverse areas."

The Urbanist - Examining urban policy to improve cities and quality of life. · Op-Ed: Convert Street Parking to Trees to Hit Seattle Canopy Goals Sooner - The Urbanist# Seattle could meet its 30% tree canopy goal much quicker by converting a quarter of its 500,000 on-street parking spaces. The paving to planting conversion would convey many benefits, cooling neighborhoods and absorbing runoff.

Those NIMBY neighbours would get a bit more respect from me if they were honest about the reasons they opposed the One Seattle Comp Plan: "We want nothing but single-family homes in our neighbourhoods because we want to remain exclusively white and wealthy."

I am happy to see Prop 1A passing with a good margin. It means people in Seattle are not only big on social housing, but also willing to tax the rich to help redistribute wealth. CM Sara Nelson and her conservative cronies can go to... Texas? 😅

The Urbanist - Examining urban policy to improve cities and quality of life. · Social Housing Proposition 1A Up Big In Early Returns - The Urbanist# Proposition 1A grabbed nearly 58% of the election night vote tally, signaling social housing is on the way to victory in Seattle. The measure would tax big businesses to raise about $53 million annually to fund social housing.

A new race in King County is sizing up after current Executive Dow Constantine announced he's not running again. When people say stand up when the status quo needs changing, we look for young progressive energy. I've already sent support to @GirmayZahilay who is extremely well organized. Check out @ericacbarnett Q and A at her excellent Seattle news site @PubliCola

I have no words. A police officer drove at 74 MPH in a 25 MPH zone without sirens, struck and killed a person in a crosswalk, got away with a second-degree negligent driving and a $5,000 fine, failed to pay the fine, and is now contesting the citation. He didn't even have a valid driver's license when the incident occurred. And he is still employed by SPD.
