A point of order; PCC’s building will be demolished but PCC will be rebuilt there again as a part of a new building. At least that was the last I saw, here: here.

oh, and by the way…
so your property taxes might approach 2% of assessed value.
what’s the interest rate on your home loan? and what value do you get for that 4% interest rate that you pay to some zaibatsu bank?
does BofA give you free foot rubs? remodeled fire stations? better school facilities? improved electric service?
or just a bunch of corporate customer service grief, while they dodge federal taxes with your money?
property taxes are collected (and apportioned) by king county, even when cities (like the people’s republic of bellevue) vote to tax themselves a little more in order to finance levies, bonds, etc.
and, by “a little more,” i mean on the order of .0975% increases over a 10-year period. far, far less than 1%, for the mathematically challenged among us.
now, having paid property taxes faithfully in king county for 12 years, i can attest (under oath, if necessary) that property taxes in king county are less than 2% of assessed property value.
do you get where i’m going here?
the only way that anyone’s property taxes have increased by any appreciable notice (like 20%, for example) is through increased valuation by king county.
so you don’t like the commensurate taxation in seattle that results from seattle’s booming economy and increasing property values? or maybe you can’t afford the mortgage you agreed to pay?
there’s great news! you can easily sell your house in pinko and diverse seattle’s white-hot sellers’ market and move someplace that’s friendlier to your hostile, selfish needs… like buckley. or spanaway. or carnation.
then you can bitch about seattle traffic and road maintenance with real, informed gusto.
got any other “facts” or “logic” you want to dazzle me with?

I realize that you know that you pay taxes in your rent, but how many other voters know this.
Before long West Seattle is going to be like Bellevue, with higher housing costs.
Every time people vote for higher taxes, wages don’t go up to compensate.
I am retired, and when taxes go up my retirement does not.
Before long I will not be able to afford to live here.
I was born and raised here and would like to stay, But….?
BTW, I do vote in every election.

JKB..
thanks for making my point..
once again you avoid the actual issue.
when you have to rely on semantics … denigrating other posters… strictly defined definitions of terms and issues defined only on terms you set to make your point..
you might as well give it up..
I am not at all sorry that advocates for a cause i identify with are making their case in a manner you find offensive…
it is getting press and without press there is no chance for making any case.
I do have to point out however… that when you label the black lives matter as a cause I identify with .. as though there is no basis to that cause.. it says a lot more about why you are offended than i think you wanted to reveal.
this really isn’t about patriotism and the flag at all…
and frankly. that’s not even a clever smoke screen.
which brings us back to the point of the sarcastic comment i made referencing your argument… about “uppity _____ ”
you know.. the comment you chose to misinterpret…
just as you state you didn’t infer that my comment was snarky because you didn’t use the word snarky … or that your argument isn’t based on the protest being socially unacceptable because you didn’t use that phrase either…
It’s really too bad because this could have been such a good conversation.
A cartop carrier was left in my yard at 41st and Findlay this morning. Dropped there by a thief perhaps? It is locked and empty with some damage. Looks similar to this one: http://www.sears.com/sportrack-horizon-m/p-02830631000P?sid=IDx01192011x000001&gclid=Cj0KEQjw7Ne_BRDRmP2ojKfzv98BEiQAPuqPyYpSBXE68egaPxI72NDJjt1TvSqUu0onKSQPHZrsugAaAo1_8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

JKB..
technically legal?
the technicality here is that an act is either clearly legal or illegal. this one is legal.
I am sorry you are offended by using the national anthem as a vehicle for protests..
but you don’t seem to get that I am equally offended by the behavior that created a need for that protest..
and by the assertion that one should only protest that behavior in a manner that is “socially acceptable” to people who are not offended or affected by the behavior that sparks it..
so..what is your standing here?
What horse do you have in the this race that is so over-riding that you have to take a protest about the manner in which black people are being treated in our justice system about the flag and nationalism.. totally ignoring the stated cause?
i’d love an answer to that question that does not include calling me snarky

jonfsutter..
hello. my name is Joanne Brayden. I don’t use it as my sign on because i don’t think that was an option when i first started posting here 8+ years ago.. but i have been identified often enough that i am pretty sure that i am hiding in plain sight.
i resent your implication that renters don’t pay property taxes.. therefore they should have no say in what those taxes are spent on. we all vote.. and we all pay property taxes.. whether directly or indirectly.
Rising property taxes were given as the rationalization for the rent increase less than 6 months ago.. the tax portion rose more than 20%… and my rent just went up again… because market rates justify profit.
My rent not only pays the property owner’s mortgage, insurance and maintenance costs.. it pays the taxes too.
so don’t be telling me i shouldn’t have a say in what kinds of services are paid for with those taxes.
It was a fair vote.
If you didn’t vote. that was your problem.
I always do.
it turns out that those of us who show up to the polls determine the outcome…
that’s how voting works.

Gee, if only it were tried somewhere so we could see what happens…… oh wait, we did. Vancouver, BC. Crime went down. Number of deaths by overdose, number of infections, emergency visits due to these injectable drugs ALL went down. What is the alternative here anyway, same-o same-o? How’s that working?

NW corner of Westwood village?
Burien Park and Ride’s parking garage — on Sunday though.
Yes, For Sure..
Only in the Liberal Wonderland can you advertise, Promote and provide a ” Safe Space ” for Heroin addicts to shoot up and not get more heroin addicts coming to the city to take advantage of this ” Safe Space “.
Oh…and again Only in The Liberal Wonderland can a 24hr. ” Heroin Adventurland Park ” be promoted and available and NOT attract the ( 2 ) Things that are crucial to the Continued Operation or ” Sustainability ” of such a Park and that is :
1) Heroin Dealers :
Because after all we are Providing that ” safe” and wonderful place to Shoot up so where there is a ” Safe ” space to shoot up you will get Extremely UNSAFE Drug Dealers
2) $ MONEY for More and more and more Heroin :
Because again… Where there are Heroin Addicts you get Heroin Dealers and what is needed to keep the ” Heroin Wonderland ” Moving is MORE MONEY FOR HEROIN !
So, What happens when you combine Heroin Addicts that don’t have job’s and Heroin Dealers that need money to provide admission to the heroin Adventurland park ?
How about RAMPANT Crime ?
Or is your Liberal Denial Syndrome going to prevent the acceptance of these Facts ?
It is amazing how the Liberal mind works. How you can offer a ” Safe Space ” for such a Devastating Physically addicting Drug as heroin and enable the ” Safe ” use of it and somehow addicts will come to there senses spontaneously and want to quit ? On what Planet has that ever happened ?
That is INSANE !
I am having a bit of a driver’s ed flashback, but recently had knee surgery. My doctor recommended having a friend take me (and my car) to an empty parking lot to practice moving my gimpy knee from the gas to the brake pedal before I do any “real” driving.
Any places you’d recommend taking my new knee out for a test drive?
Yes, good idea, open your eyes. Vancouver BC was brave enough to run a supervised drug injection site and has found multiple benefits from it: Reduced drug overdoses, reduced emergency calls, all leading to reduced health care costs because cross infections are down and people have a chance to clean up and move on with their lives. https://theawl.com/vancouvers-supervised-drug-injection-center-how-does-it-work-c483cdd18b66#.e3mr0ynhw
If you don’t like all the money the City spends on gay people you can take comfort in the knowledge that the City is not actually able to stop organized marches but they do assess fees. If that is not sufficient for you, there is always Idaho…
And Betty: check out the facts surrounding BC’s safe injection space. It’s quite exciting and has become a model for other major North American cities. The story allows the facts to speak for themselves. http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/the-scientists-are-in-insite-works/
What I understand JKB to be saying is that using the national anthem as a vehicle for protest offends his patriotic sensibilities; that’s clearly the case with many other people as well. Fine, they’re entitled to their opinion just as the protesters are entitled to make their statement.
It’s undeniable that the protests have been effective insofar as they have generated a much neglected and much needed discussion about racial injustice. So any debate about the effectiveness of the protesters’ strategy is sort of pointless other than to say something like “I wish they would have done something different.” Does that indicate an unwillingness to engage in a discussion about the issue of racial injustice or submit that conventional patriotic displays trumps the insistence on acknowledging a profound failure on the part of the entire nation?
I think this is incredibly important, and it’s frustrating to me that ruffled feathers, actual and perhaps imagined, can derail the discussion.
The O.P. is making a valid point though. In just the past couple years we have had ballot measures with increased property taxes for (1) parks district (2) schools/education levy (3) transportation “move seattle” (4) libraries and (5) affordable housing. I suspect I’m forgetting one or two. Each of these measures passed with a healthy margin. Folks this is a lot of new taxes. Each time we vote for another tax increase we are pricing some people out of the city. Am I saying roads aren’t important? Schools aren’t important? Affordable housing isn’t important? No. All those things are important. But we have to collectively acknowledge that we are willing to price people out of Seattle because we think the benefits of these additional tax revenues are worthwhile. All these taxes are great if you can afford to live here. But if the taxes price you out it’s pretty lousy.
