After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

Paris. It was not 'built like this.'
Thanks Anne Hidalgo, a DOER, for greening Paris. Along the way, showing the world's mayors that change is doable.

we allow an absurd increase in FAR over other countries, and give zero thought to urban morphology and how blocks will change over time.
when the three parcels w/ 1-2 story buildings here are redeveloped - they'll also consume most of lot.
so access to daylight, privacy will change dramatically

it's insane that seattle's zoning policy is effectively just 'rezone the areas renters already live ever other decade'
so instead of inducing walkable areas, we induce urban cannibalism and massive buildings that consume almost entire lot w/ little privacy

Across the country, Starbucks workers are on an Unfair Labor Practice strike for a fair first contract, and I know which side I’m on. Baristas make Starbucks an extraordinarily wealthy company. They are entitled to their fair share of that wealth and to benefits and fair treatment on the job.

THIS. Cycling in the US has been marketed as a form of fitness, not as mode of transportation, and not as source of joy & delight. We need to change that. Cycling is liberating; it allows you to engage with the world around you.
She said her husband won't ride with her. He tells her the bike does all the work for her and she's not getting exercise.
I told her about the nature of the bicycle being born of transportation. It's only Americans who have slapped the belief that they are for exercise on them.

Awesome job mayor-elect @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social!
Not easy going on national media, but this was spot on.
I think when you know who you are and stay true to your values, it makes interviews like this easier.

Lots of buzz about the "affordability agenda," and how we get there.
Well, this is it. Housing and transport are most of the cost of living for most people. We can make it expensive, or we can make it affordable.

No car? No problem. Building apartments near public transit could help address the housing crisis

~56% of seattle residents are renters
Council President Nelson pulled the amendment from @councilmember-amr.bsky.social to add $400,000 to restore funding to tenant services for a full council vote. This is an amendment supported by the Seattle Renters' Commission.

My most woke opinion is that cities should completely ignore suburban commuters and design the city we aspire to be. They’ll either begrudgingly commute in by car, mode shift, or be replaced by others in foot traffic
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

She has tons of legislative and electoral wins, and understands how to both work with city councils & work around them at the ballot box

We faced more corporate PAC money than has ever been spent attacking a candidate in a Seattle election.
We built a people-powered movement rooted in hope for our city’s future.
And we won.
