CM Eddie Lin responds to the attacks in the Seattle Times on the idea of SEPA reform in an op-ed this morning. "Dense housing, walkable neighborhoods, and safe, accessible transit is how we can finally address our affordability crisis and build a more resilient and equitable city."

Dense housing, walkable neighborhoods, and safe, accessible transit is how we can finally address our affordability crisis and build a more resilient and equitable city.But we can’t hold onto the past so tightly that we destroy our future. The negative impacts of climate change are already here, and we know they are not borne equally across our city. Health outcomes are worse for South Seattle residents due to urban heat islands, limited tree canopy and air pollution. Dense housing, walkable neighborhoods, and safe, accessible transit is how we can finally address our affordability crisis and build a more resilient and equitable city.SEPA has historically been used by a small number of businesses and neighborhood activists to protect the status quo and their special interests and slow government down, asking the city or state to do more studies. But our house is on fire, and maintaining the status quo will only make things worse. Here in deep-blue Seattle, where elected leaders are trying to take action to address climate change and our affordability crisis, build a greener and more affordable city, SEPA appeals are resulting in years of delays; time that we don’t have. We don’t need more studies — we need the political courage to act. That’s why I’m proposing updates to our SEPA procedures to streamline the process and to stop unnecessary and redundant appeals. Tuesday, July 28, Seattle City Council is expected to vote on CB 121215, which would limit the type of SEPA appeals that can be heard by the city’s hearing examiner. I sponsored this legislation because I believe this bill will remove one of the biggest roadblocks preventing us from meaningfully addressing many of the biggest challenges facing our city: housing and homelessness, traffic safety and environmental justice. I look forward to voting on this bill and getting back to the hard work of planning for our city’s future.

maybe a hot take? not only is ziggy sobotka a great character and a great performance (RIP james ransone), but looking back from the vantage point of today, "young man struggling with his masculinity and yearning to be recognized as a man commits catastrophic violence" is incredibly prescient.

I've been using jj with DiffConflict nvim to review changes locally before publishing them, and while pretty decent it want into many of the same issues that were called out in the thread. Looking forward to trying this out. Goes to show how far GitHub has fallen (was it that great to begin with?)

now public and quite a bit more polished: a fully local browser-based code review UI. Review your (or your agent's) diff before inflicting it on the world. σκέψις: viewing, perception by the senses. Examination, speculation, consideration.

You can vibe code your way to a working prototype. You cannot vibe code or one-shot your way to a competitive product that works at scale. The hard part isn't writing code; it's the architectural supervision.

Bike and trail orgs, cities and high school students unite around WA bill to clarify difference between e-bikes and e-motos #SEAbikes

Bike and trail orgs, cities and high school students unite around WA bill to clarify difference between e-bikes and e-motos

Lake Washington High Schooler Clare Goodrich was one of several students to testify in support of the bill. She spoke about being injured in a crash when she was 14 while riding as a passenger on an e-moto. The driver was 13. After news out of New Jersey broke this week that their outgoing governor Phil Murphy signed a law to recategorize all electric bicycles as motorized vehicles…
