Sometimes you’ve just gotta pull up the ladder behind you because you were The Last True Resident

Homelessness is a housing problem And Seattle is winning in the homeless category. 😢 The world is changing and if don’t want tents on your street, you need to support multi family housing But Seattle shouldn’t be like Houston, Austin etc and embrace sprawl… That means we build up our city.

Sir, we still have Combined Sewage Overflows. More people help to right-size the services needed.

"If you double the population are you going to double the sewage capacity? The electricity, gas, water? Double the road and especially freeway capacity?" yes. yes. no. yes. no, and absolutely the fuck not. hope that helps

@volts.wtf As we say down here in #Portland, if there's two things people hate, it's infill and sprawl.

You forgot, "I'm not racist, but...".

100% however the _median_ is just "what *kind* of people would move here, and whose schools would their kids go to?"

guy probably couldn't find a parking spot at the 75th/35th Safeway and posted this, lol.

This might work if the city stopped increasing job capacity. But I'm guessing that would have a lot more negative consequences that this fellow would not like.

"are you going to double the sewage capacity?" Don't get me started on the things I wanna do to the sewers.

They don’t seem to be aware of the massive amount of empty buildings, many of which were built as housing and more which can be converted. My house used to be a motel. So was my last one. I have no desire to live in a city anyway. Specially not the one they live in. Wherever it is.

I like to hit people that believe a city or the country is all full with this nugget. www.reddit.com/r/geography/...

people love worrying about the pipes only when its convenient

If anything it’s a perfect setup for “double would put us right at capacity so we’d be looking to expand. That means the 10% increase we are actually talking about is well within current parameters.”

Many such cases

I stand corrected. It's south of 145th.

Case in point in Seattle: the Ridgemont movie theater (Greenwood and 78th) went out of business and now provides retail and apartment living for many residents — walkable neighborhood and on a bus line.
