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.

Gay people, just like all people, have the right to assemble, to march, to create a parade and much of the cost is paid for in fees. You complain about the gay pride march but not the Seafair parade. That speaks volumes.

Well it has been 5 days since I posted my blog. I use my real name for these kind of things as it is proper. If you are afraid to use your real name you should not be commenting as you are hiding behind anonymity and can say any wreak less thing you want.
Do you think for a moment that property taxes will be reduced equal to the result of an income tax?
How do people on fixed incomes afford 15% increases in 2016 property taxes and expected 20% increase in 2017?
Pier 1 imports left West Seattle due to the $15.00 per hour wage. Does that increase employment?
Does the $15.00 increase mean more funds per individual? Or more individuals who have had their hours cut back and are now on assistance?
Does painting rainbow crosswalks in downtown Seattle cost nothing? Do gay parades cost the city nothing? Does re identifying toilets or providing additional special toilets cost nothing?
What do I suggest. Fiscal responsibility. The City of Seattle is way out of control with the social programs. The State is fined daily for not properly funding schools. Our National debt will crush us eventually. We need to concentrate on good roads to aid commerce, good schools to educate our children, and good health care for all of us from a competitive service delivery. We need to enforce the laws and support our police.
The rest of it is nonsense.
Yes, we are continuing our search for a new residence outside of Seattle.
See Ya

i’m gonna break the rules here and address JKB directly:

i understand that you feel beleaguered here. but, for my part, i bear you no ill will. WSB forums has always been like a dysfunctional and argumentative family, and, like it or not, you’re part of our family. so is smitty. so is HMC.

having said that, i think a lot of us zero in on the fact that you tend to get defensive and attack others’ posting style; or perceived bile; or a conspiracy of liberal piling-on – rather than addressing the substance of the argument.

it’s really not personal, and i, for one, give everyone in WSB forums the benefit of the doubt. unless he or she is a stark raving idiot, of course,
and you don’t fit that particular bill.

i think a lot of us are just waiting for you to make a solid argument and defend your position that kaepernick is wrong to draw attention to american police brutality against the black community by sitting for the national anthem. so far, all i’ve read from you toward that end are vague utterances of nationalism.

I’ve rapped on vehicles for this very act but since I’m rather large and male, the results probably work better for me. One jerk in his Landrover flies down the side street and stops directly in my way as he’s looking to get on to California. He’s not looking at me, he’s looking to the left to see if he can go without fully stopping. I rap on his hood, I walk around him and he jumps out because he has to check to see if my ring damaged his hood. I told him if it did, he deserved it. Full stop before getting onto California, yield to the damn pedestrians!

[buttercup]

Why does he live in West Seattle. I can’t imagine what seagull crap must do to his paint job.

Family and I went to dinner in the junction over the weekend. The free lots were full beyond full. There were at least 4 cars in each lot circling and at least 2 turning in as one exited….
That being said. family and I paid 5 dollars for evening parking in one of the many underused lots. We were able to go, have a nice dinner – watch some amazing UW football, converse freely and enjoy ourselves.
Went back to the car, and again, the lot we were in was entirely underused. Meanwhile, adjacent to one of the “free” lots, cars – the same number of which were still circling. Parking is AMPLE in the Junction. Just not FREE parking.
I do agree with 1, 3 and 4 though – however a partial on 4, because people need available housing options.
2 – PCC signed a lease. They knew the eventuality
5, 6 and 7 are a result of progress, I’d say encouraged progress. More people = more taxes

Before I head out for my next walk, I’ll be sure to slip on a pair of kid gloves. That way, my VOLUMINOUS BODY OILS AND SWEAT won’t do HAVOC to the PAINT jOb of a Mercedes.
(Seriously, it isn’t a good idea to smack a car. You won’t damage it. But, if the driver is a nut job, you might yourself get damaged. It just isn’t worth the risk. I like misw’s suggestion – the dirty look of WTF?)

[anonyme]

What an F-wad. There’s nothing more insane or dangerous on the road than a parent driving the kiddies to school. I gave up walking my dog during school pickup/drop off hours. It’s insane. The ability to reproduce does not entitle one to act like a jerk; even slime can reproduce – and does, apparently.

[Markymark]

Just be thankful you don’t live in Ballard….They built those podments there in droves with no parking…I have had friends invite me to meet them there for drinks etc..after work and good luck finding any parking in those areas. I suspect the prices of land here will price a lot of people out soon. I recently moved back here after leaving West Seattle in 1995 and was lucky to find the house I did before the prices hiked so bad and it was a strange fixer. But being an ex contractor helped me out considerably. be glad you live in West Seattle this is a very special place and most people that have lived here prior seem to find their way back…. my wife and I included. Cheers all. MarkyMark.

[miws]

melissa, good on you for “notifying” the three potential parties that this guy might be connected to. The possibility that someone close to him in one of those ways might see this, might hopefully earn him a well-deserved butt chewing that may impact him in some manner that the same from a stranger might not.

As a “Professional Pedestrian”, I definitely understand the urge to want to confront the driver, as even being a very defensive pedestrian, it’s still pretty scary to walk along a public sidewalk, or cross legally at a crosswalk, and worry about such things as cars flying out of (or into) parking lots, or blasting into a crosswalk on a red light because they just *have* to make that precious right turn on red.

As tempting as it is, I have to resist reacting in any manner more than maybe a stare/glare, and “Whoa! WTF?!” body language, as I’m rather defenseless should the driver decide to angrily react to my confrontation. I literally am unable to run anymore. Although I could do some damage with my cane, but I would probably be the one to get into trouble. >.<

With so many distracted people driving and CRAZIES in the world if the person didn’t hit you I’d just ignore and go about my walk…this guy could have really took it a step further and physically went after you or thank goodness didn’t pull a gun on you! I know that’s getting a little far fetched but as I said CRAZIES!!!

[jamesw]

seems like this guy is a danger to himself, the kids in the car and pedestrians. And are you serious about the potential damage to the car from body oils? Body oils? It would be harder for him to get the blood off his car while in prison, than to show some basic respect for himself, the kids in his car and most importantly pedestrians. Anybody know who he is?

[lallen]

We have a queen-sized futon that we’d like to give away; we need the space! It has one of the thick, higher-end mattresses and a light birch frame; it’s in good shape, and has been used very infrequently.

You pick up, though we can disassemble it beforehand. Email me for pics/more info at droidlaura at gmail.

Thanks!

[melissa]

A man in a Mercedes sedan with three small children in the back zoomed down Trenton to Fauntleroy this morning. I, walking my two dogs, was already crossing Trenton and was perturbed that this guy decided that his morning rush was more important than yielding to a pedestrian already in the intersection, so I rapped his trunk with my knuckles. At this point, he threw the car into park, leapt out, and yelled, “Don’t f&^%ing touch my property, you c*&t!” And he said several other things to me, all sprinkled liberally with obscenities. He’s white, in his 30s or 40s, a little heavyset, and wearing a True Religion jersey and jeans.
1. If you are the other parent of these small children, I thought you might want to be aware of this.
2. If this is a carpool and one or more of these are your children, I thought you might want to be aware of this.
3. If you know this guy, please remind him that knuckles can’t damage cars, that he should yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk, and that he’s setting a terrible example for his kids.

Another unfortunate angle you might check… It’s happened to my friend as well as myself. Check very carefully at all the places power can be “picked off’. I had a neighbor 150 feet away running a heavy gauge extension cord to his shop with compressors and welders while I was away. He knew that I travelled for a living. I put locked covers on the outlets. Funny… my bills came back down to normal. He’s always been uneasy to make “neighborly talk” for him after that. :-/

[JKB]

Well, the rightness of what I say probably shouldn’t depend on my color.

Slightly nuanced point: I’m trying to say “don’t mess with the national anthem”, not “here’s how you should present yourselves”. The difference is hard to convey, especially in this format, and would certainly affect how the message is received.

Listen before being outraged? Who does that? Yeah, I wish that was more common.
