Redblack, Thank you for your learned comments. Of course we cannot commend you personally because you are anonymous. I do not think you would speak to me in person with the same tone as you have written. You are probably to PC to do so.

Redblack and Skeeter fail to realize that increased value of property does not mean increased revenue to the property owner unless they sell the property. 13.5 % increase in 2016 coupled with an expected 20 % increase in 2017 can be very hard for anyone to budget working for wages or on a fixed income. People will be priced out of their homes. Some will end up on the street under I-5 in the jungle.

JanS, Blog or rant; I do not know. I was just trying to have a discussion about what I see as our cost of living getting out of control and local government wasting funds involved in projects where basically we are throwing good money to bad investments. Mean while we are ignoring our roads, education, creating traffic nightmares, harboring criminals while telling the police that they are cruel.

Joanne Brayden, Thank you for using your real name and understanding that landlords need to recover costs. Most renters think they do not have to pay when they vote for another initiative to be paid for by property taxes. You have the picture.

dhg, I have worked around gay people all my life. I have no problem. I just do not care to have their life philosophy thrown in our face daily by a mayor who is fully concentrating on that segment of life and ignoring other more important problems. Do not tell us that the emphasis on the Gay community by the City of Seattle has cost nothing. Seafair is a big money maker for the city.

To all: The best fuel economy from today’s cars is at 40-45 miles per hour. Installing Bus Bulbs, going from 4 lanes to two, reducing speed limits from 35 MPH to 25 MPH is an environmental problem. In addition, if one expands the Lead Time between two points, one expands the Work in Progress. Meaning the longer it takes to get from A to B the more cars will be on the road at any given point in time. So we are polluting the air and we creating traffic nightmares and destroying commerce.

RObO.. i worry about the people camping in our green spaces..
it’s not just those who won’t leave a loved one in a single sex shelter or who have pets that don’t have access to proper shelter in these storms.. it’s anyone who doesn’t want to lose everything they own … it may look like much to us, but their survival depends upon it.

This legislation is too important to let soundbites and self serving arguments determine your decisions.. Wading through these posts will take some time.. but in the end you will have a much better understanding of the issues…

Tim Burgess and Mike O’Brien discuss this issue on KUOW

I hope word of the coming storms has made it to those stuck outdoors. I’d be hunkering down under as much concrete as I could find too. All those empty hanjin containers with nowhere to go. Could the city open a hundred up for people to ride out the storm? Even the best tents will deform if not blow over in 20 mph wind.

“She has no idea that I simply prefer to keep a constitutional Supreme Court rather than a transition to a subservient liberal court that serves Hillary Clinton’s specific agenda. The woman has no clue how sick I am of the government corruption and regulatory repression that has crippled businesses like mine all over the country. She didn’t stop for a moment to consider that I had family and friends directly affected by terrorist attacks from people that should have never been in this country.”

I understand that these are your assumptions but comments like these don’t lead to reasoned discussion.

That said.. I think you have as much right to have a Trump sticker on your dash as i do to have a Hillary mug next to my computer. However i will venture that I am less likely to be troubled for my display of candidate memorabilia.. gifted to me after her first failed Presidential bid.. than you are by yours.

I haven’t put a sticker on my car for the same reason i don’t carry a gun ;-) (this is for JKB) I don’t wish to make myself a public target for people who don’t have the good sense to respect others…

Per JTBs suggestion i added emoticons so you know i am teasing…

for the record i think he is too… the best teasing always includes a grain or more of truth :)

I’d happily pay my current fed tax rate, 10% income tax, 2% property tax, 10% consumption/sales tax and $5 a gallon that includes an overdue gas tax and take no deductions. Except, the government is currently at all levels is full of petty politicians that have zero leadership or vision (this goes for all parties). I don’t think they are capable of efficiently executing what is required. I’m not saying we hand over everything to corporations. We need better leadership.

[JTB]

JoB, for those of us of a certain age, struggling to find words is an inconvenient truth not necessarily indicative of a cognitive disorder. ;-) Certainly your own writing is notable for being clear and nuanced. Of course, there are times where use of an emoticon to convey satire or irony might help some readers to avoid making incorrect assumptions about your intent.

Otherwise, I think style is a significant part of content. But I would agree that making assumptions about what informs a particular style is precarious. For instance there are some mental health issues that show up in irregular capitalization yet it would be wrong and unwise to assume everyone using idiosyncratic capitalization is deranged.

The biggest difficulty I have with the irregular caps issues is I assume the writer intends to be provocative or annoying even though I may not have sufficient evidence to support that opinion. It’s a knee jerk reaction on my part. So I try to catch myself and try to figure out what they mean or intend—-are the caps for the reader or the writer; do they convey emphasis, anger, contempt, satire; just what do you really mean? In any case, it’s safer to assume they don’t have a better way to express themselves.

JoB: I think a lot of people are afraid to speak their minds about real issues since most of the “prominent voices” in Seattle are far left of center.

I had a women the other day go absolutely nuts when she saw a “Trump” bumper sticker laying on the dash of my truck. She followed me for two blocks honking and screaming obscenities over nothing more than her assumptions that I am a stupid, racist, bigoted, womanizing redneck that had no business being in West Seattle.

She has no idea that I simply prefer to keep a constitutional Supreme Court rather than a transition to a subservient liberal court that serves Hillary Clinton’s specific agenda. The woman has no clue how sick I am of the government corruption and regulatory repression that has crippled businesses like mine all over the country. She didn’t stop for a moment to consider that I had family and friends directly affected by terrorist attacks from people that should have never been in this country.

There is a prevailing attitude here in Seattle that extinguishes the possibility of reasonable, balanced discussion about important issues that will effect our future–So we are left with bantering about boring triviality. The important issues will come to pass without discussion and we will all pay the consequences for the dominance of emotion over reason.

[JoB]

I hate to be a killjoy in the midst of all this “reasonableness” .. but Seattle has just been issued a high wind alert for the latter part of this week. While you are presumably safe and warm in your homes, Seattle’s homeless will be on the streets or in the woods during this event.

Yes Michael Waldo.. studies have been done. In my opinion, Seattle’s homeless population is one of the most studied in the nation, but you don’t hear much about the results of those studies because they don’t fit the public perception of Seattle’s homeless.. people from somewhere else who prefer to be homeless and came to Seattle for our “great” services.

What they show is a rising population of single displaced women (often homeless as a result of domestic violence), single displaced elderly whose limited incomes can no longer cover Seattle’s rising rents, displaced families whose working adults can’t cover Seattle’s rising rents, disabled people who are in the process of applying for Social Security Disability with legitimate health claims (some for as long as 9 years) but whose benefits when they are granted won’t cover housing costs and last but not least our community’s mentally ill (many of whom are addicted to both legal and illegal substances).

Our supplemental housing lists are so large they are run by lottery and if you are lucky enough to be granted a voucher you might not be able to find housing before it expires.

That’s the reality.

Yes Waynster. tiny houses would be a better idea and in many cases would actually benefit homeowners. I can tell you from personal experience that the homeless i have had helping me with my gardens have been invaluable to me. If i wasn’t a renter i would be parking an RV in the back yard. It breaks my heart to have them come work with me during the day, to feed them and befriend them and then send them back to a tent on the hillside where they are subject to being run off on a regular basis.

Andasai.. you want 6 months for further study. No big deal, right? Except.. those 6 months include another winter with more homeless deaths due to hypothermia and weather related illnesses.

Seattle instituted a 10 year plan.. with an incredible amount of study. After 10 years, that group concluded that the solution was housing. The Mayor didn’t like their plan and commissioned yet another study which was followed by another. Again, the solution is housing. Yet, you think putting our homeless population at risk for another 6 months for yet another study is the answer?
Not likely.

The only logical result of postponing this plan, which would designate specific areas as possible temporary shelters with services is to gain time to keep them out of your neighborhood.

All if can say is look around. They are already here (hiding in plain sight) and their numbers are increasing.

We need immediate solutions that address the core problems.. not endless studies with little or no real action.

really, Capt. Dave? Get your mind out of the gutter….the one who needs calling out is DT , after the past weekend revelations…advocating sexual assault against women.

Unless you have proof and links, I think you need to keep you conspiracy theories, your dirty mind, to yourself. This is a new one…and a low one, even for you. Maybe go read a good historical novel to keep your mind occupied.

The problem is that a lot of people are moving here, so the city’s population is growing extremely fast. These people need to live somewhere. Because there wasn’t and still isn’t enough housing for them, rents and housing costs are rising and rising and pricing more and more people out of the city. So more housing has to be built to accomodate the new arrivals.

What could we do about this? Ask employers such as Amazon to quit expanding, or to move outside the city limits? Pass laws against people moving here?

Yes, growth could probably be managed better, and yes, some buildings are ugly as sin. But we still need to build more housing somewhere, unless we can stop job growth and stop people from moving here.

What I want to know is, has anybody done a proper survey of the homeless. Not how many, but who they are.
We hear that Seattles raising rents are why there are so many homeless. But is this true? How many people camping in Seattle are there because their rents were raised so high they ended on the streets? Or rather because they are drug addicts and spend their money on drugs instead of rent? Or, like a friend of mine, are mentally ill and when they go manic, they trash the place they live in and get evicted? Or are not even from Seattle but came here because they heard how easy it is to be homeless here? We need to fully understand the problem before we can put forth solutions. Anyway, about your question, I am not comfortable with people camping wherever they please. I don’t want to trip over a campsite while hiking in Lincoln park.

Hi!
We’re moving and have a nice antique bedroom set that we can’t take with us. I’d like to donate it to charity, but need some advice on the best way to do it. It’s worth about $800 I think, so not too fancy, but too nice for a thrift store? We usually donate to northwest center, but would the irs take our word for the value since nwc doesn’t really write receipts? It’s not valuable enough to get appraised it seems, but do you think the value is correct? Please share some advice on the best way to donate this set. I have an ad on craigslist so you can see the photos. Thanks!

Ok, have to finally admit it, Summers over. Now that fresh/local produce season is coming to end, which Farm Box company did you enjoy the most over the summer? Looking to try some out next year but want to get a good read on the better ones while it’s still “fresh” in everyone’s mind. Sorry, couldn’t help myself there.

I hesitate to respond here because I will be leaving town this week until Oct 24. But if you have interest, or even need a back-up person this is me:
I’m a retired first grade teacher with Seattle Schools after almost 40 years. I love children. I have two grandchildren in West Seattle, ages 3 and 8 and I have been a big part of their life since birth. I spend lots of time thinking of cool things to do with “my kids”. It’s the teacher in me. Your situation sounds great for me. Oh, and I love pets. My sweet dog died before I moved to West Seattle and I currently have 3 cats. I live near the North End of Beach Drive. I still remember how difficult it was to get good childcare so I wish you the best. Susan 206-268-0951 (my home, not text)

[JKB]

For some time now, I’ve participated in these discussions even though they’re often unpleasant. Occasionally I learn something, and that helps.

I think it may be time to stop. I can’t prevent the continuous stream of attacks by anything other than pointing out how ridiculous they are.

When the topic devolves to hating something that I did not say, on the assumption that I was thinking it, there’s nowhere to go.

When argument is based on arrogance – the belief that one holds the truth of the matter and therefore any disagreement is evil – there’s no conversation to be had.

When it’s based on hypocrisy – railing at someone for imagined offence while committing far worse oneself – well, that doesn’t help either.

In a world where sometimes people are attacked physically or legally for what they’ve said, you might be careful about your rants. JoB and JanS, you’re close to criminal slander, or would be if there are damages.

The really surprising bit is that the pearl of wisdom came from redblack: that this is politics on the Internet and one should expect all this. Maybe I was overly optimistic about what’s otherwise a pretty nice neighborhood blog/forum.

Anyway, that’s about it.
