Reminder that people like Bruce Harrell are more responsible for Seattle’s housing crisis than Amazon is. Sure, tech companies like Amazon brought a lot of employees to Seattle, but career politicians like Bruce never incentivized housing development to accommodate for growth.

Walkable urbanism is so underrated. Woke up, walked my daughters two blocks to pick up donuts & coffee, then walked to the the park one block in the other direction. Now sitting five blocks away watching them play by the lake. Zero cars involved. Everyone should have this luxury.

Endless highway expansion is bad for our cities, public health, and the planet. We need to invest in green infrastructure—sidewalks, bus stops, bike lanes, public transit—that will make our cities work for people, not just cars.

Don't blame people for wanting to drive. People do what is easy, affordable and convenient. Instead, let's continue to push for a better system. Pressure decision makers to make transit, cycling, walking and rolling more accessible. Only then will we see real behaviour change.

If you primarily drive a car and have a tough time understanding the plight of those who choose to ride a bike, ask yourself the last time you planned a route based on minimizing the risk of death and injury.
