These are the comments I look for when I link articles, especially if I don't fully understand the topic at hand. Thank you for your insight!

Total be clear I'm in favor of more public transit than less. Our city was never meant to have this many people or cars on the road. If we can shift away from individuals in cars, that's a huge win for Seattle.

For sure. I know you’re not the author. I’m stating that again in case there’s confusion for anyone else.

Man it used to piss me off when people would throw stones from outside. Like be involved, sure. That’s great.

But we’re in here with budgets and stakeholders tryna find a path forward that works that isn’t kicking the can and instead makes real decisions about the future of the city and when the fuckin answer is the same old tired ass conservative shit, man it’ll drive you crazy. You start dismissing them out of hand but that sucks because they’re your citizens too.

At least the libs had interesting positions. It was questions of fairness and justice and stuff like that.

It was always either No from conservatives because of money or kicking the can cause they want to say no but can’t for some reason.

My brothers and sisters in Christ when we get fuckin consent decreed and the feds break their whole foot off in our ass I promise the cost will be worse

Sorry. Trauma dumping.
