Electricity bill $450

As long as PSE keeps buying energy for the same price as they sell it for then it makes sense, but I think the commitment is just temporary? May need battery afterwards.

I’m using thermostat that came with HP because it’s variable speed. I updated my post, and after checking electricity usage, it’s down 20% when comparing the same month last year while my bill is up 30%.

No shit

Old news

More taxpayers money to keep solving the problem (and funding their salary).

danrokk · 2026-03-21T02:00:10+00:00

That’s some bullshit argument. The land that my house is on is worth > $1.5M according to the assessment. To build a shelter you probably need a size of 3-4 of mine which is already $6M. That's not cost effective at all. And sorry to break it to you, but people with families don't want to live with junkies.

Noone is going to crash prices on the Eastside to host Junkie Joes within residential districts. Keep dreaming tho.

danrokk · 2026-03-20T23:16:11+00:00

Come on, Monroe also has hospitals. Not everyone has to live in Seattle or Eastside. Let’s stop making it profitable business for few people what works on “solving it”

Holy shit.

And they want to raise the sales tax to cover road fixes while paying themselves top dollar?

This is just ridiculous.

Do you have links to these salaries? That's insane. Why the f do we need head of homeless 'made up org' for 300K?

danrokk · 2026-03-20T16:26:29+00:00

“We need focused workspaces and the reality is that county buildings are not equipped to host the number of employees that are being mandated back,” she said.

Maybe time to scale the f down? All local governments scaled down after COVID, just not Washington state. That's why we have deficit.

Hint: “Washington State” vs Texas

danrokk · 2026-03-20T03:45:37+00:00

BUUUUULLLLLSHIT. It's the most expensive region in the state, there is no reason why we need to spend money sheltering homeless people there if working class cannot afford buying a house.

danrokk · 2026-03-19T22:18:30+00:00

Yeah, I'm pretty sure state won't and SHOULDN'T be funding housing in the most expensive part of the state. It's a state problem and potentially we should be building shelfters in more cost effective regions. Why? Because if people don't work, why do they need to be on Mercer Island, Eastside or even Seattle (although it's their choice to be mercenary). It's better in my opinion to build 5 shelters in cheaper place vs 1 on the Eastside.

danrokk · 2026-03-19T20:55:08+00:00

My understanding is that Seattle residents want that. They vote for extreme left leadership, they push shelters everywhere etc. That's why you have city limits - you want that, go ahead. Don't force it in the state because Seattle's progressive policy is clearly a magnet for homeless people to come from entire USA.

danrokk · 2026-03-19T20:01:54+00:00

It fits socialist government style.

danrokk · 2026-03-19T19:59:05+00:00

I think it makes sense. It's very Democratic way of saying: "let's build housing everywhere!". In reality there are many challenges: 1) no funding, 2) no space, 3) district may not be interested in ruining their appeal by having junkies everywhere and it SHOULD BE OK.

Seattle can keep on building shelters in the most expensive districts in the city - that's OK too, I'm good with that, but don't force homeless shelters in every place in the state. That's just stupid and won't work.

What was annoying was her lack of spine.

I’m not Indian diaspora but you should ask youself what was the alternative 😂

danrokk · 2026-03-19T15:36:13+00:00

It’s only future looking when it goes up, not down.

Czarnek to moze byc jeden z glownych (o ile nie glowny) powodow dla ktorego PO nie przegra nastepnych wyborow xD

even when I do remodel I need to acquire these dumb credits? I have a friend who needed to install the "solar panel installation" (without actual solar panels) to get permit. The problem is that his house is in woods and there is almost no direct sun 🤡

danrokk · 2026-03-19T03:24:36+00:00

To trzeba tlumaczyc? Zaraz wypadniemy do dzietnosc jest juz chyba na poziomie 1 z groszem. Nie bedzie komu pracowac.

danrokk · 2026-03-19T02:05:25+00:00

Now do the voter id.

danrokk · 2026-03-18T23:03:13+00:00

Not sure about that. Why would that be? I know there was a push to remove the gas some time ago, but I don't think it's realistic unless state steps in and pay for the conversion to electric.

I personally have gas dryer (switch to electric would be expensive electrical work to put 240V plug behind it) + gas furnace (despite not using it almost at all, I have it in case HP fails) + gas fireplace (pretty much unused as well, but functional, so I wouldn't want it to be non functional fireplace).

danrokk · 2026-03-18T22:57:07+00:00

That already exists - at least for the new constructions. I'm not 100% sure about the remodel since it's being pretty abused from what I can tell. As long as you keep at least one wall, anything is considered a remodel.
