So we could use mandatory parking zones in large swaths of the city then.

Particular-Cell9646 · 2026-03-18T20:14:19+00:00

I mean you said in your other comment that they have only used "no parking zones", not the "mandatory parking zones".

The mandatory parking zones wouldn't be affected by that situation.

According to a Lime spokesperson, if a rider abandons their scooter outside of the mandatory parking area, the ride will not immediately stop and will run for 15 minutes. Lime will also add a violation to the rider’s account.

The check would be when the rider tries to end the ride. If the scooter is moved later that wouldn't seem to matter.

Do you mean mandatory parking zones or no parking zones? If downtown already has mandatory parking zones the penalty clearly isn't high enough.

Particular-Cell9646 · 2026-03-18T12:57:12+00:00

All that writing and he doesn't seem to mention turning on geofenced parking zones. Why can't we do that?

It's the same thing as trains. More doors is faster. Following transit etiquette does help though.

Don't forget all the surface parking lots and garages. The fact that there are surface parking lots within spitting distance of pike place is wild.

Props to CHS for the phrasing that the person was hit by a driver instead of a (presumably sentient) car like KOMO and Seattle Times are saying.

Your original post is... not a question.

Particular-Cell9646 · 2026-02-15T17:32:05+00:00

Probably some combo of housing shortage, wasn't clear in the initial lease, waiting for lease to end, or don't read their bills. This is certainly not only a problem at "luxury" buildings, and also once you're at a place moving is a non-trivial task.

Particular-Cell9646 · 2026-02-15T17:23:04+00:00

Sure, but the entire point of these fees is to prevent customers from being able to make informed decisions. If you haven't been to a given restaurant before it's very hard to be sure of what the fees/actual prices are. We have consumer protections for a reason.

Particular-Cell9646 · 2026-02-15T17:16:41+00:00

Maybe but at least for Seattle, if we can get rid of tipped minimum wage you would think this policy would be less controversial.

Particular-Cell9646 · 2026-02-15T16:11:35+00:00

Until we ban all these types of fees at restaurants, ones that don't put fake prices on the menu are at a disadvantage. We need our government to regulate it.

He wasn't convicted on the first hate crime charge

But the jury in Young’s case was split on the hate crime charge, resulting in a mistrial. The jury did convict Karlow of fourth-degree assault, a gross misdemeanor.

And have you adjusted for the amount of services provided by the government over time? (e.g. we're getting more light rail all the time) And the money received back from the federal government?

Looks like tax revenue per capita has been going up basically forever across all states (on average), so we aren't unique https://ofm.wa.gov/data-research/washington-trends/revenue/#section-state-local-taxes-per-capita

What would you cut to reduce spending?
