The City of Seattle is building dedicated bike lanes downtown. They would rather have no cars downtown. The original estimated cost was $860,000 per mile. The cost is now $12,000,000 per mile for one of the routes!
OH MY
Thanks for putting the math to this. Think of the hourly rate, subtracting “nap time”. Some good money in preschool programs, it seems.
Oops, that must be a typo. Nobody got shot in Chicago because they have strict gun control.
It’s for the children.
“You’re missing the main point...if all the Seattle home owners go Florida...they will bring their voting habits with them. Who do you think voted in the idiots running their city government? The same homeowners you now want in Florida.”
No i didn’t! And just how do you deduce that the “liberals” in Seattle will be the one’s pulling up stakes? Are you saying that the Liberals are the vote and run class? But you’re right that eventually, even they will feel the pinch and leave, because they never have been able to square their “feelings” for the “facts.”
“..the levy they want to be renewed will be an extra investment..”
And before we put any money into it what is the rate of return on that investment?
“Seattle? New taxes? Oh I can’t believe that.”
Eat it Seattle voters.
Yes...
Seattle has had a tough week, what with Starbucks new policy backfiring so disastrously, and now this. Why mostly Leftist money will vaporize for a change. Nice...
How can the freaks afford to live there?
I think we both know what the rate of return will be, I can’t even imagine how many different ways they will steal it before it ever makes it to the children.
It’s for the children.
I never got married or had children I guess that accounts for why I never consider it’s for the children.//////////
Too late! Seattle is already Chicago with out the deep dish pizza.
Homeless, drunks, transients, students. The usual suspects.
There is no pizza like a true Chicago deep dish.
I saw some outfit on one of the food channels that’ll ship them out. They looked so good. Not cheap.
Same here in Raleigh! The libs have taken over this City!
I know a guy in Seattle who publicly congratulated himself for providing his home’s restroom facilities to naked protesters marching by, and for his adroit explanation of it to his preteen children.
And people wonder why America’s big cities are decaying and dying? Liberals kill anything they touch.
The best education as a result of cushy retirement packages for teachers.
A teacher told me so.
When will they pass a breath tax, simply because we exhale CO2?
All property tax is theft.
