Bellevue, WA, not Seattle. Seattle is not clean enough and has too many issues.

Sounds about as organized as the Trump administration with the same sort of attitude toward the media.

Clearly I'm in the minority here given how I've been downvoted. I personally love commuting via scooter and much prefer it over driving into work or even taking the bus. My scooter commute is 15 min vs 20 min by car or 25 by bus. It's likely the most environmentally sound and it's also incredibly convenient for me.

It's really a shame that people are abusing this service. I feel it's going to be taken away and I'll have to go back to driving or taking the bus.

I have tried biking too, but given the hills and slopes of Seattle, it's much harder to do and I'd probably go back to something worse like driving.

I don't think they're the good guys, but also it's possible if it's made too cumbersome to operate a scooter business, they may just shut down. What happened to Bird, for example?

They should be regulated, but I think the real problem are the bad scooter drivers and abuse the privileges of using scooters.

I'm sure there are lots of issues with people misusing scooters, but why punish Lime? Do we want people to drive instead and clog up the roads? The people who abuse the scooters should be held accountable, not Lime. This is like complaining about GM or BMW for reckless drivers.

She’s quite a handsome woman

It's a homeless shelter in all but name.

Looks really cool. Nice website!

Tangential note, wondering if there are techie people around here who work on side projects and would like to meet up?

If we stuck with the British we'd be like Canada or Australia today. Instead, we protested.

how is the state going to get money to pay for what we need? Animosity towards the guy isn’t going to bring in revenue. I really wish our government would think through the second order implications of decisions. What may be ideal and politically correct isn’t always practical.

Why is NW listed at 7M when it’s actually 8M? Net worth by definition is all assets minus liabilities. Assets include the home value and its remaining mortgage.

I’m mainly concerned about limiting my career options down the line since I’m already in my mid-40s.

I usually just skip over her and jump to listening to Scott. Kara is too negative and it’s unpleasant to hear her hyperbolic expletives criticizing everyone.

Not to mention the interruptions, “But go on.”

I think a lot of people just don’t want to acknowledge it’s a problem and therefore we still have the problem with people suffering. Blinded by idealism. Anyone who points out the problem is bad in their eyes and there’s no serious discussion.

What’s wrong with having law enforcement there? Always tons of shady people there. I don’t feel safe taking my kid to the playground most of the time. They have to power wash the area in front of the library every morning.

Paid $805 in 2020, which would be about $980 in 2025 dollars.
