It shows that a lot of the reforms we’ve passed in the legislature recently will make a difference. Bothell has accelerated their adoption of a lot of them such as parking minimums.

This. We have ever growing demand for energy. Energy efficiency is the cheapest way to get new energy. Also embodied carbon reductions are like a gold rush for energy as the first energy costs, the manufacturing of products & construction can be about half of the lifetime energy costs of a bldg.

I understand. Sometimes schedules are changing and issues are coming up so even we don’t know the schedule. Things move so fast around here…

Thanks everyone for engaging and providing info.

I actually find public comment very helpful in the legislature. Often we take amendment ideas from comments.

Thank you; I do try to be thoughtful and despite how it may appear, I am listening to feedback. I just found the “so disappointing” language discouraging after a long exhausting day in Oly.

I appreciate your attempt
to educate but publically shaming someone isn’t the most effective way to communicate. The reason we have public hearings to suss out issues and consequences. Policy can be complicated. Am I a prude to be concerned about porn exposure?

50 Reasons Why Everyone Should Want More Walkable Streets From making you live longer to making cities more resilient: If you want a reason to make your city more walkable, it's in here.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath

Housing The Homeless Saves Money--Here's The Research That Proves It The best way to stop homelessness is mindbogglingly simple: Give them homes.

“Providing the homeless with a place to live may seem like a high cost for taxpayers. But the alternative, it turns out, is more costly, new research shows. Subsidized accommodation could actually be a bargain for the public, in purely economic terms.” Via @fastcompany
