what a fantastic life they must have in order to complain about something as severely inconsequential as this

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 28/09/2026

well the only reason this happened was because people were living there in RVs am I allowed to drop some eco blocks in front of my apartment because the people parking there annoy me? how about I drop some in the street as traffic calming?

I, Robot has a much more realistic perception of cars and phones compared to most futuristic movies. now that I think about it it’s all pretty carbrained though

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 28/09/2026

these are valid parking spots that have previously been used by RVs. very likely the business next door ordered a bunch of these eco blocks to be placed here illegally. what should the city’s response be to this?

many “eco blocks,” giant concrete blocks which prevent cars and RVs from occupying a space, have been placed in front of several signs that allow parking for a limited time in SODO, Seattle

ever heard of the random indie arthouse film "Gone with the Wind?" 3 hours and 58 minutes. didn't do too bad at the box office either

I'm already pretty well versed in the ways Musk is bad. but since the tech oligarchs who own Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and of course Twitter are refusing to sell ad space for this, maybe it's worth a watch...

this is awesome. I wonder if you are anywhere close to riding your bike more miles than that guy drives his truck

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 26/09/2026

rather than go from SFH to town homes I’d rather go straight to single stair stacked flats with small elevators. otherwise that land is stuck as an inefficient town home for the next several decades

030

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 26/09/2026

great wonky thread. town homes are better than single family detached homes, but we have the potential to build so much more density more accessibly and more cheaply with single stair stacked flats and small international code compliant elevators

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 26/09/2026

do you have an estimate on miles ridden in the last year? are you keeping track?

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 25/09/2026

wait we are abrogating parking enforcement officers? my dictionary says that means we are abolishing or annulling them

Gluesenkamp Perez being on this list is kind of hilarious since she’s recently voted with MAGA multiple times

I’m learning so much about campaign finance law just by following news about NIMBY organizations

2120

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 24/09/2026

I want to change this law so video evidence can be used for traffic violations. but it would require a bill to be passed by the legislature. a few other folks are interested in this as well

030

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 24/09/2026

if there’s evidence that could be used in a court case that works more as you’d expect. but someone would need to be accused of a crime, not just a traffic violation

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 23/09/2026

unfortunately, according to Washington state law, tickets can only be written if a police officer personally witnesses the incident. pictures and video outside of automatic enforcement cameras aren't allowed to be used for ticketing

the most impactful thing Trump could do right now is resign. I know he never will, but that is power that he technically has to start fixing the situation

010

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 23/09/2026

in general I would agree but in this situation a new president might be reasonably successful. Iran said straight out (ha) that they would not open the Strait of Hormuz as long as Trump is president, so a new president would immediately have a lot more negotiating power

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 23/09/2026

how much of this was mandated by the contract that Harrell negotiated with SPOG and Wilson has no power to change?

110

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 23/09/2026

I haven't heard anything about their contract. last I heard they were on a work slowdown starting in December where they only respond to cars that are posing a danger and not cars overstaying their spots. I don't know if anyone has followed up on that though to see where things are now

110

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 23/09/2026

they’re actually doing another round of parking enforcement hiring right now. in addition to whatever else might be happening, not sure how their hiring fits in with the bigger picture

100

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 23/09/2026

I pitched it to my legislators. only Pedersen responded and he was skeptical. so the usual outcome

010

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 23/09/2026

yeah it would be another bill. not the main one I’m pushing this session which is to legalize automated enforcement of turn signs. it would have to be a separate bill that allows video evidence (photo would almost certainly not be enough) to be used for traffic violations. London is doing it already

E15 uses ethanol from corn, which is a terrible waste of land compared to the energy you get covering it in solar panels

my proposal: demolish the parking lot, build a new building 2-3x as tall as the hotel (or more idk what’s feasible there) and in the same style as the hotel, to be used as social housing

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 21/09/2026

this is my absolute least favorite building in Seattle

050

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 21/09/2026

I would agree except they refuse to enjoy it. during the opening celebration I saw lots of the protesters on the sidewalk. I invited them to coexist with me in the street but they didn’t want to. I’m not sure they can bear to come to terms with the fact that it’s better without a car

LWB was open to cars every single weekday all summer

they are physically incapable because of carbrain disease, which has rendered them car-bound

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 20/09/2026

what if they’re cutting police budgets? would those cuts be ok?

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 20/09/2026

I’m guessing there were other agencies that existed before KCM to serve Seattle, is that right?

looks like there's a little more time for last minute submissions! drop off your form and donation to the Pike Place Constituency office at 1501 Pike Place #328 between 1 and 5 pm tomorrow. that's on the north end of the third floor of the large building filled with shops

the north end of level 3 in the main Pike Place Market building. the Pike Place Constituency office is on the right surrounded by white and green pillars

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 19/09/2026

unfortunately at the moment the most reliable way to confirm is to email them or to show up to a meeting. but if it gets to the dropbox it should be fine. they’re working on an online registration system too

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 19/09/2026

same with design review. despite it existing we build so many ugly buildings. so what’s the point?

ah this is about another bill which had more times to comment. but my point stands for decisions like today where the majority of public comments at an odd hour opposed it

130

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 17/09/2026

the quantity of public comments received at 10 am on a weekday? when most people have some kind of work or school or other responsibility?

Brook (Brandon) der Blätter @intcreator.com · 17/09/2026

I started my comment by noting the bias in the room at 10 am on a workday
