Important context on this issue:

- it is WILDLY expensive in Seattle to follow the rules for a street vendor. it's not just health code. bsky.app/profile/r343...

- County health dept wants to focus on helping abide by health rules. These enforcements ain't that. www.thestranger.com/food-issue-2...
Big City, Big Street Food
Seattle is growing. We are becoming big. And with a big city, comes big, delicious food tents.

Broke: shutting down unlicensed vendors

Woke: recognizing the cultural and social value of street food

Bespoke: making permits super cheap and accessible, ramping up outreach and education so vendors stop fully blocking the sidewalk and storing ingredients directly on the ground

Yep
He's "had to deal with unfairness by many people who just want to be unfair when they say things and write things." Says he got a threatening phone call recently and has had other threats, but "I'm a person of faith and I want to serve you for four more years." Event ends with a standing ovation.
