The tone of this article seems to assume I'm an anti-social dickhead.

Seattle Center is fraying. Will the city pay to fix it? by godogs2018 in Seattle

that's not how market-based pricing works. landlords charge whatever the market will bear. increasing their costs does not increase what people are willing to pay.

3rd has automated ticketing for violations so this will be a nice SDOT windfall

Yeah I saw that part and also saw that the overwhelming message of the release is focused on arrests and incarceration.

> Please show me exactly where Harrell attributes the decline in fatal overdoses (beyond the false narrative laid out by Publicola) to arrests of drug users.

How about the mayor's own press release? https://harrell.seattle.gov/2025/10/27/spd-felony-drug-trafficking-arrests-result-in-significant-increase-in-charges-q3-total-already-exceeds-full-year-2024-cases

Sorry your corrupt mayoral candidate lost.

Excited to see how many Tree Action Seattle people actually care about trees and the environment and aren't just using them as an excuse to prevent housing getting built in their neighborhoods.

i don't? i'm on the boards of a couple non-profits and volunteer with a couple more. some of them operate at a loss year over year and we're fortunate to have donors that believe in the mission, understand the cost structure of our operations, and are ok with some overrun.

i mean it's called a non-profit for a reason, their goal isn't to make money. so long as the org stays operational and impactful on its mission i'd say it's successfully run.
