These people have completely lost their minds.

I couldn't agree more that the land use code is a morass. However, I'm wondering if the author actually lives in one of the condo or apartment pigeon-hole units he seems to be promoting? I've heard more than enough blabbering from people who advocate more density, often those with a ...

The personal automobile is not going away. It represents a huge advance in personal freedom. What's the problem? Congestion? Nothing new. Burning fossil fuels? Show me an effective form of transportation that doesn't. (effective doesn't mean bikes for the whole family) The horse and carriage? Have we completely lost confidence ...

Self-obsession recorded for posterity from a stereotypical Seattle liberal. Boring.

Aren't we going to need that coal to recharge all of the electric cars on the horizon?

If "newspapers" are really going to survive, then it seems like what they ALL need to do is start charge a fee to view their websites. AND not allowing other "para-sites" to steal their content without paying for it. The Huffington Post, Drudge, etc. wouldn't last a week if all ...

This looks similar to what happened in San Francisco, where Hearst waited until the time was ripe to buy out the Chronicle, something the DeYounge family vowed never would happen. I always thought the best paper around here would be the Times A section, followed by the P-I's everything else. ...

50?: Prius' don't average 50 MPG in the real world. The ultimate "appliance" car from a line of some of the most bread-like automobiles in the world... It's a badge of superiority though, so I guess that must justify it to many. Still burns gasoline.

Exclusionary reasoning: A proponent of these electrical vehicles must ask himself: Why isn't anyong manufacturing them on a large scale? No one's stopping any company who wants to capitalize on this miraculous device. (I find it amusing these things are promoted by people who have never actually manufactured automobiles.) Can ...
