The code changed in 2023 because of children pulling on cords plugged into appliances on islands. New ones typically have "flip-up" outlets on the countertop

Weird, I thought it wasn't code compliant to have an outlet on islands. Is this a new build?

You're always just one or two sentences away from a really bizarre conversation when you dare to talk about parking.

There's also whatever point this person is trying to make. Parking really creates interesting conversations.
screenshot: 

yes, and since they are graduates of a university urban studies program that has no appeal to private employers or women they live alone and work for government, and don’t understand the three fundamental things that drive society and “urbanism”:

1. Women are always afraid. Just look at the Cornell story. Night can be terrifying. That rules out transit and bikes.

2. Women buy everything in America. Hence all retail caters to them. I am a successful lawyer and in 35 years I’ve never bought my own underwear. It just magically appears in my drawer. I had no input on the zillions of disposable diapers we bought. Or any other product. My very expensive refrigerator is filled with Asian condiments I have never heard of. I do clean the litter box though. But don’t buy the litter.

3. If you are a straight guy you need women, and a good woman is good for you, and they tend to dictate how you live and where, and you are not getting one of the superstar women living in a shared wall apartment in an urban city taking her on a date on a bus. Ferraris are a dime a dozen. A quality wife is priceless.

If you didn’t learn that in HS as a guy you are stupid or gay.

So that’s it. You tricked a great girl way out of your league to marry you when you had nothing, you are living on a houseboat on Lake Union in Seattle, the two blue lines on the strip she peed on means your life has fundamentally changed, and next thing you know you are in suburbia doing the gardening. And driving a car.

Over on Facebook, the emergent sentiment is that SDOT should build a parking garage or buy the private parking lots to make them free.

Really feels to me like Strauss is trying to pull a "let us bother the folks living in RVs with a punitive permit regime and we'll get rid of the eco-blocks (wink-wink)" trade. They don't need a new law to get rid of the eco-blocks, they're already illegal!

likeluke @likeluke.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I find this outcome to be the worst of all possible arrangements - it's obviously illegal, shady, and doesn't come with any kind of city services for the people it hurts.

likeluke @likeluke.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
What we've done instead of any official policy is tacitly allow homeowners and businesses to place concrete blocks on streets to physically stop RVs from parking. See 8th Ave NW between Leary and Market, or Fremont Brewing (pictured here in 2022).
Dozens of concrete blocks line the parking lane next to Fremont Brewing in Ballard.

When it comes to road safety, cities have two choices: Adapt kids to traffic: keep them indoors and drive them everywhere. Or adapt traffic to kids: make streets safe enough to move as autonomous members of society. The choice says a lot about the kind of city we want to build. youtu.be/O_WjWRmQwtg

No, but they can make a small space feel larger. The "split level" trick can be neat.

This is a spicy opening from Lindblom. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
North Seattle's new Pinehurst Station will welcome passengers at 5 a.m.
Wednesday with less hype and lower expectations. It will be near-empty for a long time.
The aerial stop is surrounded by Interstate 5, a park, a golf course and single-family homes spread out among evergreen trees. Seattle had a full decade to plan for nearby blocks of apartments or condos to make the $240 million station more useful, but none of that construction is underway.
Sound Transit once hesitated to build here. Early data models said if housing and jobs didn't pour in, as few as 1,100 people a day would board a train at Pinehurst, far below industry standards.
But agency leaders acquiesced to the doggedness of one Seattle City
Council member, Debora Juarez, who insisted her district deserved a second rail stop besides Northgate.

There was already a station there, so I assume a lot of the annoying work that had to happen at Pinehurst (a bridge built on a hill) didn't have to happen at Damen

No one really wants more traffic on their street, but they also don't want longer travel times or disruption of their routines. Communicating trade-offs is very challenging because everyone interprets them differently.

It's at least somewhat reasonable for a very surface-level "common folk" analysis. I find claims that safety improvements aren't worth it - or actually cause more harm - much more pernicious and dishonest.

likeluke @likeluke.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
The "fixed" view of traffic is a common opposition tactic for safety improvements. "But the traffic will just go to side streets now" is how I've heard it materialize.
