The tech YIMBYs think the major challenge facing Seattle is so-called "anti-business" taxation and regulation. The reality is that Seattle is facing the 21st-century poly crisis. You can't upzone and grow your way into a century defined by limits 😿 geekwire.com/2026/a-warning…

@hannahkrieg Seattle's "growth" has little to do with the local yokel politics. It's based on things like interest rates, money supply, market trends, credit default swaps etc etc 😿

Explain to me slowly what Katie Wilson has passed that would drive entrepreneurial couples out of Seattle
Determinist@print2cell
@hannahkrieg There are rich people who want to build another new business. And there are people who want to take a risk and build something new for the chance to build wealth. Driving either of these out of the region is counterproductive.

@NoMoreBikeLanes The dreaded "loaf" separators....they are the go to in Seattle. They are easily shattered. Ave lifespan about 2 months 😿

@seattletimes The establishment continues to loose legitimacy, which will further erode its ability to address the ever growing swarm of interrelated and compounding predicaments known as the 21st-century poly crisis 😿

One of the biggest obstacles to the world's AI ambitions is a shortage of electricity. Could a solution emerge in Central Washington? ebx.sh/kJlubq

@jeffwilcox Summer weekend nights are about to become even more of a parking search /drop off/phone-clutching clstr fk 😿

@loomdoop Seems to me fare enforcement is primarily PR intended to boost the failing legitimacy and public trust of mega transit bureaucracies 😿
English

This isn’t investing in transit systems. It’s diverting money from transit systems to dehumanizing police state shit.
Senator Scott Wiener@Scott_Wiener
Investing in our transit systems to improve safety, reliability & cleanliness pays big dividends. It’s why we fight so hard to invest in these essential systems. Our state investment to help BART install these improved fare gates was a very smart move.

@ReturnOfDaGoat @xurbanxcowboyx I prefer to use my car, because it is electric, it is self driving, it is more comfortable and it takes me exactly where I want.

@pmcondon2 The establishment says it will be "good fer bidness" 🤑

Trash pickup for people living outside and in vehicles now represents nearly 40% of the waste collected from city streets, sidewalks and greenbelts. ebx.sh/nD0EKl

@vancouverportlv Looking forward to breathing in the fumes from my Belltown apartment 😷

One of the largest #cruise ships to visit #vancouver, the #norwegianbliss, has a max 4900 pax. But on a picture perfect evening April 24, she’s completely empty for a 1 day reposition to Seattle. Could have been a banger of a crew party? #timelapse

@SEACityLight 18 USC § 795 (Photographing and sketching defense installations) makes it illegal to take, sketch, or map vital military, naval installations, or equipment without permission 🤓

Peter Kopp from Engineering & Technology Operations shared this amazing moment for our #PhotoOfTheWeek! He snapped this photo while stopped on the Hood Canal Bridge as a submarine passed through on its way to Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor.

@bluewmist I use my little-viewed tweets as a form of self righteous self talk 🤪👍
English

@NoMoreBikeLanes @pdxpragmatist I'm particularly impressed with the extremely complex, confusing, and expensive signalization at intersections that Seattle uses to squeeze bike lanes in while trying to maintain or even increase traffic capacity 🤍🤪👍

English

@pdxpragmatist 1️⃣ cycling is NOT a fad
2️⃣ bikelanes ARE a fad
3️⃣ bikelanes are NOT “infrastructure” they are just decorations laid atop the infrastructure built ~5 generations ago:
✅toxic greenpaint dumped on tarmac
✅plastic sticks to defeat streetsweeper/snowplow
✅kerbs to trip pedestrians
English

Cycling was always a fad.
This article reveals that truth in a single line:
Cycling rates have dropped 40% in Portland since 2016.
The city must STOP wasting money on cycling infrastructure.

In a city built for extraction instead of for its residents, YIMBYs call for ending affordable housing fees on extractors as the solution to unaffordable housing 😿
