Well, I never used that kind of language so I’m not sure why you’re bringing it up. I do think overall in the grand scheme of things like city planning, transit and affordability, the car lifestyle needs to be addressed. The problem of inaccessible neighborhoods could be greatly alleviated with the promotion of public transit, be it rail or frequent buses. People complain about the taxes, cost or undesirable effects of bus stops, bus riders in their neighborhood, etc. So, improvements aren’t made, neighborhoods are closed off, routes are cut and then more people say they are driving to work/school/play. Endless cycle.

Like Michael above, we too live in Arbor Heights–I always check local first so I go to the Roxbury Safeway, their selection is not always the most robust but when salmon is in season it isn’t a bad place to start–I avoid Met Market or PCC as that isn’t in my budget, I’ll swing through the Fish Market but like above, I find their prices to be pretty steep, my favorite place to go is right to Pike Place Market, the first market right in the middle as your going south through the market (the first real fish counter you get to) typically has great prices on fish that is in season and we have had great luck there with Copper River Salmon prices and other locals like oysters.

what i find so difficult to understand is why Republicans believe that the policies which have failed miserably will somehow work now?
Or that it will take less government to interfere more in the personal lives of citizens?

i get that they have people who point fingers and say that it’s anyone’s fault but their own…
but it doesn’t really take much research to figure out that if you do nothing.. nothing gets done.

this is broken and we do need to fix it…
but i am not sure how when so many refuse to realize that there is a problem beyond “them”..

Will Rogers once spoke to the common man in a language they understood.
I don’t know who does that now.

new native.. when hubby worked downtown.. he took the bus.
he now works in Fremont.. he doesn’t.
reason? even though the commute to Fremont every day is problematic.. at it’s worst, it is less than half that of the bus commute..and at it’s best.. a quarter of the time.

since he works long intense hours for a very competitive company, using the bus would make his work day untenable… and he is no longer a young man who works hard all day and parties hard all night.

we considered moving to fremont when his job changed… but ultimately chose to remain in West Seattle because of the connections we have made here and because finding a similar yard for our then dogs (we now are reduced to one who could manage apartment or condo living) was nearly impossible.

To move now, i would have to give up my gardens.. both flower and vegetable :( And reasonable access to my friends… as a semi shut-in that would greatly reduce my options.

I can see that you might think of those as “personal choices” and they are.. but they are the kinds of personal choices that make a huge difference in our quality of life..

i wish there were better transit solutions..
but until there are labeling everyone who commutes by car selfish is not the answer.

skeeter.. i was recently reminded of one of the housing voucher rules that makes little or no sense in today’s housing market.. they are not allowed to rent in a roommate situation. that means that two people with vouchers can not combine them to rent one dwelling.. or one person with a voucher can’t use it to rent a room with shared amenities…

and.. believe it or not.. any rental they find has to exceed the standards for renting to the general public. Hmmm..

i understand that the rational behind both rules was good.. to prevent government subsidized slum housing.. but when the alternative is the streets….

I take public transit for work and while there have been snares, it seems to be incredibly reliable. I don’t see a problem with the roads, I see a problem with the sheer amount of drivers. People who want to leave late and arrive on time, people who want door-to-door service, people that enjoy the freedom driving a car alone, people that want to spread their lifestyle all over a region. I see a noticeable difference in the traffic back ups when fewer people are riding the bus.

You make some good points as always, JoB. I hear you about the lack of vouchers and waiting lists for subsidized housing. I have lived in the mixed income development of Highpoint for 9 years now. Half of my neighbors are in SHA housing. I spend a lot of time outdoors and in parks so I meet a lot of neighbors. One thing I’ve noticed is people tend to stay in SHA housing a long time. Many, many years in most cases. In an ideal situation, low income housing would be just a 1 or 2 year solution to help people out as they get on their feet. But if we have families staying for years it doesn’t open up the inventory to new people in need. Honestly, I don’t blame people for staying. Highpoint is beautiful and safe and clean. I love living there and wouldn’t leave unless someone forced me out.

Chalk! They don’t cross chalk. Upon discovering this (research, not lucky enough to have a myrmecologist friend), I used sidewalk chalk and drew wide lines around the patio and back door, driveway, front walk- essentially surrounded much of the house- and looked for bags of chalk used to mark lines on sporting fields for the rest of the perimeter. Redid every few days, and after rains, all season.
Cheaper than Rambo, but not as interesting. The Rambo folks are great!

Has anyone eaten at this place recently? Are they serving the Kokorus recipes? Is it any good? We used to love the Kokorus gyros and were sad to see them go.

skeeter.. most middle class and rich folks can afford Seattle’s housing. I know we can.
it’s those without resources who are left on the streets.. and that categorically leads to early death.
I don’t have the statistic at my fingertips right now but a huge percentage of those living on our streets are elderly and disabled.. as in garden variety they have a medical problem that does not include addiction.
As for those subsidized rents.. Seattle had at least 10 times as many applicants for those vouchers as people who qualified.. so everyone went into a lottery…
and a voucher doesn’t guarantee a place to rent. It’s the applicant’s responsibility to find a place to live within a relatively short time period.. or they lose their voucher.

yes, at one time we did provide a more viable safety net.. but either the holes in that net are larger or the need has escalated exponentially. I think the answer lies somewhere between the two.

I’d love to use the Water Taxi in the winter too — to go downtown for a morning meeting, or to go for lunch and come back later — but I don’t want to have to be there all day. Has a noon run ever been considered? And who would I contact regarding this — City? DOT? ______? Thanks!

I would call this discussion “vibrant”. I started to swing in the personal and there were some accusations flung but it got back on track. It’s important to hear both sides. I, personally, actually know a Trump supporter! And what I gleaned from his remarks is much the same as here: That government has run amuck, that it is becoming imperialist and that we must do everything we can to shrink it. Now, we Dems know that no one grew the government like the Republicans. Although they say they want to shrink government, what they really want to do is govern people’s bedrooms while allowing monopolistic corporations to run amuck. Trump is not going to shrink government. Rounding up 11 million people is going to require a large army of government-trained troops. He’s not going to reduce the budget because building a wall and rounding up 11 million people is going to cost a lot. he has no plans to reduce the number of people on welfare. He really offers NOTHING that Trump supporters actually want except to be a stick in the eye to Replublicans for screwing them over for years.

JanS: I am not blaming anybody. I just think a lot of people just don’t see the direct impact of escalating taxes until after even more people become impoverished. Maybe it would be different if local government were not so corrupt, inefficient and unaccountable to the people they work for. Affordable housing can be achieved by improving transportation throughput instead of working to constrict traffic. There is an immense amount of low-cost land within easy commuting distance from Seattle if only we had functional roads.

I think Dudley needs to provide an email address or phone # so people can contact him away from this forum. What a pain to have to post your resume here instead of directly with him. Good luck ! :)

[captainDave]

JKB: I said nothing about regulatory requirements. I just think that if landlords voluntarily let their tenants know how much property taxes were buried in their rent, that maybe renters would be more cautious about approving things that they would otherwise think other people pay for.
