But even then, someone brings a laptop home that sits around not getting updates for 2 months, I call them and I call them and harass them to update it and if they don't update it before the the user click something stupid then they bring it into work then boom. thats it. And yeah, there's technologies out there that can make this better. And there's organizations that just do patently boneheaded poo poo like Target letting HVAC contractors run wild in their environment and honestly i think they deserve criminal charges. Tell me about how you use automation to find what needs to be patched.

Are any of you aware of tenant groups doing good work in the Portland area? For some reason it took a DSA member mentioning it for the idea of getting involved with CAT or someone like that to even occur to me.

I'm all for public transit and as much of it as we can squeeze out money for and build, but the 1st Ave streetcar was an idiotic idea since the very beginning and I'm glad it's cancelled. Take the lane you were going to give the streetcar and put an endless stream of buses on it instead and you'll get a better return for much less money. In-traffic mass transit is bullshit, but buses handle it better than anything else (also close off 3rd Ave to all cars ever, all hours of the day please and thank you).

Seattle has 3rd avenue closed to cars and is bus only for a good chunk of the day and it helped traffic, and 2nd Avenue has dedicated bike lanes with traffic lights just for bikes/pedestrians, which actually sped traffic up a ton. Turning left off 2nd used to be a nightmare. Weird that Portland has nothing similar.

Unless they re-tuned it this is completely wrong. There was no protected left for cars at all, so you would sit unmoving for multiple lights if the person in the front refused to turn left because it would be "aggressive" or whatever their issue might be. Special light for bikes only. Normal green light for pedestrians, cars wait. Red light. If they changed it thats great, but it was loving stupid before.

The light phasing is now: (1) pedestrian + bike green, left GP lane red, straight GP lanes green (2) pedestrian + bike red, left GP lane green arrow, straight GP lanes green (3) cross traffic green The timing of the phases could probably be improved, but it's way better than it used to be for everyone.

They did something similar at 25th and Blakeley, where the Burke-Gilman crosses. It looks like a mess and I winced when they installed it, but holy poo poo it's almost perfect. There's a little ambiguity between old and new turn arrows, but it seriously cleaned up all the conflict and confusion that made the intersection a dangerous hassle.

Jesus Christ, the Seattle Times did a writeup on how the new property taxes are hurting people. Their poster couple? Well, the husband--who retired 7 years early (and probably 15 years younger than anyone not wealthy born after 1970 will be able to)--and his homemaker wife say they may have to sell their 1.2 million dollar home--that they bought with a single income--and move closer to their grandkids. Quick, somebody get me the world's smallest violin.

KOMO did an article about one person awhile ago that I posted here, and I just relegated it as "Sinclair gonna Sinclair" but I guess the Seattle Times was only a step away.

There's a lot of people saying "well I can't quit, there's this hosed up clause in my contract" and it's like, maybe these folks should do some "journalism" and look into a little thing I like to call, collective action.
