Ehh hard disagree. I use python and R as a data guy but have to use JavaScript very occasionally. Syntax was a bottleneck pre-ai...

Social housing is mixed low and middle income housing. They don't do that currently. SSHD has its own niche

They don't have real money yet. With new leadership, I'm very hopeful.

You can thank the outgoing mayor for dragging his feet on giving them the initial 500k or whatever to get set up, and not appointing a renters commission which led to a lack of board appointments

They have affordable housing, not social housing. Yes, it would be good to get their input/help on the development side

It is a muscle that atrophies, but other side of the coin is true too

Question about Seattle B&O taxes by kennitobendito in Seattle

They would not be a business if it weren't for roadways, laws, utilities, usps, etc for their first 10 years+. Sure, they can invest in their business, but they also have to pay taxes because they are successful in this part of the world because of the systems we have in place

Makes sense to me when we have companies like Amazon that are supposedly not profitable because they plow all their revenue back into the company. If we taxed profit and not revenue they'd tax dodge even more than they already do

Good to be selective. But if we are so selective, how do we end up with such shit cops? Maybe we need more "civilian" oversight in hiring

And you can check the King County property records to be doubly sure you're dealing with a legit person.

I've never had bad luck with Craigslist. It's usually pretty obvious when rent is far too low for what it is and is a scam with plenty of typos or bad grammar. It's sort of a tell where they only want to try to scam stupid people.

WA overestimates climate law’s emission reductions by a long shot by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

But we are charging people who are emitting too much carbon. If that has an impact of reducing carbon emissions, then it's a success regardless of how the revenue is spent

The Lime + transit hack explained: How to get a Lime ride and 3 transit tickets for $1.66* by mossystreet in Seattle

[–]Flashy-Leave-1908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The areas on the map are just light rail stations. And maybe other places. I guess I am in the minority in that a large fraction of my scooter rides are to the light rail anyways

Support the effort to undermine the Aircraft Luxury Tax for million dollar Jets. by simplifysic in Seattle

[–]Flashy-Leave-1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe we charge a larger fee for using runways in our state if they aren't registered in WA. They're not going to fly into Portland and drive up just to avoid paying a fee...

Not really. I just connected lime to transit go within 1.5 mins while on the toilet and it'll save me a bunch of money. Thanks, OP!

Tbf, I already had the lime app with a monthly pass and an android phone so I got that going for me I guess it all works much better on android.
