INBOX: “Seattle is in a housing crisis, and as policymakers, our actions speak louder than our words. We need to create more affordable housing now, and my proposal would have done just that.” — Councilmember Tammy Morales
Stroads are multi lane roads with the design speeds of a freeway + intersecting vehicle conflicts of a parking lot The two don’t mix, and result in a very high body count Want a freeway or a (slow) street with lots of economic activity? Pick one. Want capacity? Add transit

Seattle’s best days are behind it with respect to housing affordability @MayorofSeattle & @SeattleCouncil are exacerbating this Result: a city accessible to ppl with a $million+ & those with no homes whatsoever SEA, like SF, will become inhospitable to everyone in between

I genuinely believe that our elected leaders want more housing and that they care about housing costs. It’s especially true for affordable housing. I also think they are new to the housing debate and fundamentally do not understand the relationship between zoning, costs,…

“To be a transit agency, or to not be a transit agency. That is the question.” It’s hard to be a transit agency when majorities on the board require you to build bad transit through their own ineptitude, apathy, or corporate shillery

Wow. Making moves. When it comes to transit expansion, Miami needs “all of the above.” 🚉 More commuter rail to more places 🚇 Heavy rail to Hard Rock 🚝 Metromover to MB & Design Dist ⏱️ High frequencies all day, not 20-30 min headways nights/wkends 🤖 Automation of MetroRail

Tammy Morales is one of the most likable people in politics. Cathy Moore—if she wanted to—could work this out with her colleague one-on-one, in a mature and responsible way.

Probably everyone I know has already reposted this but oh what a dream. Build frequency in the places people will ride and keep building and building and building and building and building and building and building and building and building until everyone else just bikes
At the @APTA_info conference, a Vancouver, Canada public transit planner said that they keep increasing frequencies to address overcrowding, but it just induces more ridership so the crowding comes back. We haven't begun to saturate the market for fixed route bus service in…
The Port of Seattle really should impose an airport drop-off/pick-up fee.
@UrbanistOrg If they were serious about shifting trips to light rail or buses they could implement a drop off charge like in London.

@humantransit @APTA_info This is the kind of induced travel that cities need to promote--not squandering billions on highway widening projects.
This type of simple box is illegal to build in most American cities…but not in Spokane!
@JHopLovesTrains @d_cobb88 @GoBrightline @Tri_Rail That’s fair!
@JHopLovesTrains @GoBrightline @Tri_Rail Agreed. Just need a better one, as you mentioned in the other response 👍
We had a light rail spine a century ago.

7 of 9 Seattle City Council members just did the thing where they said “no” to new housing (in this case built by nonprofits) but didn’t say yes to any other new housing ideas. Meanwhile the city gets more expensive and displacement continues.
The Connected Communities pilot fails, with CM Dan Strauss offering a "sure" before his official "yes", joining CM Morales as the only other vote in favor.
I genuinely believe that our elected leaders want more housing and that they care about housing costs. It’s especially true for affordable housing. I also think they are new to the housing debate and fundamentally do not understand the relationship between zoning, costs,…
@JHopLovesTrains @GoBrightline @Tri_Rail Acela is a first class train. Amtrak also provides NW regional that costs a fraction of the price and runs similar routes, just slightly slower, to accommodate passengers on a budget.
@JHopLovesTrains @FixMetroMDT @anjunabeachwave @AryaSaj 20min if we are super lucky, but really the rest of the world sees infrastructure as an investment and have been making that investment a lot longer
Bottom line: there is a reason why every year, on net, 100,000 people move from California to Texas and willingly accept much higher property tax rates. In many cases, it's worth it to be able to afford a home in the first place when they never would be able to in California.
In other words, you still end up paying the property tax you would be paying in Texas, it's just baked into the base value of your house. And also there are fewer overall houses. It's a great deal if you already own a home in California. It's terrible if you want to buy one.
this might be the cutest pic ive ever taken..
