i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Listening to Bruce Harrell on the campaign trail, you'd never know that traffic fatalities in Seattle have actually increased during his term as whole and that last year was the deadliest year on city roads in decades.
Bruce Harrell: "When...I won the job, we still lived in a city by which cars are fighting with bikes and bikes are perhaps competing with transit, and people looked at the different forms of transportation and they didn't talk to each other very well."

3 days left to demand tighter regulation of the oil storage facility in northwest Portland
Everything is stupid and dangerous right now, *but* we have an opportunity to make a least one thing less stupid and dangerous.
Please submit a comment to the PDX city planners asking them to prevent any further expansion of liquid fuel storage at the CEI Hub and mandate a fuel drawdown.

i have a handful of theories as to why, but none of them fully explain why we've managed to get all on the same page and fully radicalized on how expensive housing has become but the closest anyone gets to noticing transportation is also expensive is "gas prices are too damn high"
AAA estimates the average cost of owning a car is $12,297 a year, and recommends drivers spend no more than 10 percent of their income on car costs. This means you should make 120K to afford the average cost. Median *household* income in the US is $77K. The math just doesn't work.

also possibly the most ambitious mass displacement / housing destruction event in American history - just impossible to wrap your brain around the scale of decades of consequences of the federal government paying cities to destroy so many homes of so many Black and brown communities
Really the most ambitious transportation project in human history in a very real way.
INTERLUDE:
DYK: 1/10th of US interstate highway system was built through the center of cities, costing half of the well over budget program. For the amount spent on these highways, we could have built the equivalent of 36 Paris Metro systems at the cost of Montreal's initial subway lines in 1960s.

SDOT is essentially taking any new Denny Way bus lane off the table here, due to concerns over general purpose congestion that stem from traffic modeling.
