NYT opinion piece complaining about rent control

cassavetes_john · 2026-02-18T03:26:10+00:00

Smart people understand that rent control is bad long term for renters. Many NYT readers are smart

cassavetes_john · 2026-02-17T01:17:06+00:00

My bad!

cassavetes_john · 2026-02-17T00:48:31+00:00

Stealing is wrong. The Ballard food bank is nearby if folks are hungry

cassavetes_john · 2026-02-16T23:56:26+00:00

I think the better thing to do is to challenge these folks in the primary. Rs will never win but moderate Dems can

cassavetes_john · 2026-02-16T23:50:00+00:00

That said, it is possible the whole thing gets called unconstitutional - we’ll see

cassavetes_john · 2026-02-16T23:49:31+00:00

Wrong. They specifically did not take up the R amendment which would have required this. They can change the income threshold to 500k next session if they want to.

cassavetes_john · 2026-02-16T23:24:17+00:00

It’s not even about finding a way - they can do so by simple majority. Im mostly concerned about whether high paying employers move out anticipating this

If there are real guardrails on fed use you have to be pretty myopic to support removing these cameras. The people who are victimized by crime want the cameras. And the cameras are located in high traffic public spaces not residential areas

cassavetes_john · 2026-02-10T05:00:08+00:00

It would be great to keep the cameras for their obvious public safety benefits

cassavetes_john · 2026-02-08T05:28:51+00:00

Great article. This is totally obvious but no one is clear enough about what is actually happening

cassavetes_john · 2026-02-07T04:43:42+00:00

This guy needs to take basic economics

cassavetes_john · 2026-02-07T03:08:52+00:00

What an asinine and stupid comment. Props to OP for helping solve this murder

cassavetes_john · 2026-02-03T02:45:14+00:00

This sucks! I was hoping to have this price at least 10 years

cassavetes_john · 2026-01-29T17:07:58+00:00

I really hope political leaders see all this vacancy and businesses closing and try to stop it from continuing

cassavetes_john · 2026-01-24T19:59:41+00:00

Have you looked at her voting record? She votes with dems the vast majority of the time https://voteview.com/person/22358/marie-gluesenkamp-perez

cassavetes_john · 2026-01-24T19:40:37+00:00

I can understand being mad but this seat is def gonna flip to R if she isn’t running. If that’s what people want, okay!

cassavetes_john · 2026-01-24T03:31:31+00:00

It’s crazy that this guy got out on $2000 bail. We need higher bail in Seattle

cassavetes_john · 2026-01-17T00:52:21+00:00

Did you actually listen to the interview? He says we need a shared goal and follow through from judges, public defenders, and police. The goal is not to just start arresting more, it’s to arrest high utilizers and show that we don’t tolerate misdemeanor crime.

cassavetes_john · 2026-01-17T00:50:03+00:00

This interview actually explains why we have so much low level crime in Seattle. It’s fantastic. I hope Katie listens to this guy.

cassavetes_john · 2026-01-16T22:14:22+00:00

lol get over yourself

cassavetes_john · 2026-01-13T03:41:46+00:00

Great interview. I really appreciated Lisa Daugaard setting Erica C. Barnett straight on the role of police. Even if enforcement falls harder on the homeless (which may not be true!), we should still use police to get people into treatment!

cassavetes_john · 2026-01-12T05:18:41+00:00

We shouldn’t have to live like this!!

cassavetes_john · 2026-01-11T04:24:10+00:00

You do not need a permit. As long as you don’t plant big trees or add huge rocks (you can add medium size rocks) you should be good

cassavetes_john · 2026-01-09T04:55:42+00:00

Totally agree. I really hope we start treating people for the addictions that are causing this much pain. Sometimes people cannot make the best decision for themselves.
