- For @theurbanist.org I wrote about why lowering the City's ethical standards to allow elected officials' self-dealing is a bad idea. The fact that that sentence even needs to be written says something about the moment we're in.

- In Belltown, a community coalition led by @common-area.bsky.social is fighting to turn the El Rey, a building slated for demolition, into community arts space and affordable housing. What do they need? Most of all, a green light from the City. 🧵 www.realchangenews.org/news/2025/04...

- This is awesome. Build great, fast, frequent bus service and they will come. (Also let's get to 10-minute-or-less headways after 7pm, 15 minutes is a long wait!)
