A lot of new followers here over the last couple of days, so I’ll introduce myself again:

Hey, I’m Jeff! 👋🏻 I live in Seattle (Ballard), I’m a software engineer by trade, and I love cities and transit.

Please share with me your favorite cityscape and/or transit pics! Here’s a few I’ve taken

And how much Transportation is hidden in the other categories? What portion of Housing costs is the garage under your apartment building? What portion of Food is the sea of parking surrounding the supermarket? What portion of Healthcare is car-related injury and respiratory disease?

Transportation costs are the second largest burden on American family budgets (17%), after housing (33%)!
To address the affordability crisis, we must create cities with abundant housing of all types (subsidized, social, coop, market rate) and make walking, biking, and taking transit convenient.

Feeling vindicated in this feeling, and also relieved, after how close this election was (still is).

I am admittedly nervous about the Seattle mayoral election. Optimistic, yes, but nervous nonetheless.

Drop your ballot in a box by 8pm!

Seattle mayor-elect (almost) Katie Wilson, welcome to The War on Cars.

"Katie Wilson does not own a car and primarily rides the bus (public transit) to get around Seattle with her daughter." -Wikipedia

She walks the walk (literally) and is calling out the grifters. 🥳

I have no idea why our mayor-elect follows me on BlueSky, but I humbly accept this position on the transition team /s

I’m pretty sure the King County elections results have been posted later and later with each drop (excluding election night)

Y’all mind if I post some random photos of our beautiful city?

DO THIS! I never have had issues before, but this time there was an issue with signature match. I just sent in a form on my phone to cure my ballot:

As I mentioned during our DC show the other night, years – decades! – of mayors tacitly tolerating cops and other city employees defacing their plates has made this much more difficult to deal with now.

Anyone know what’s up with King County Metro’s GTFS-RT feed lately? Updates to OneBusAway and the Transit app have been way behind the last few days.

The average driver is conditioned to commit countless acts of aggression and violence every day without even thinking about it and is actively punished by their peers if they try to do otherwise
