Corner of Leary and NW 36th st. Plenty of trees in the back where the Canal Trail is and loads of asphalt in the front where construction is wrapping up.

this is roughly what it looks like now btw. pretty new so no up-to-date Google pics.

Can't see too well but the parts that aren't shit look pretty nice!

a corner in Fremont off the Burke Gilman was closed for ages for the water treatment thingy construction and then they made it a road.

boy it would sure be a shame if the beautiful park got expanded. so glad it's now asphalt I've literally never seen anyone drive on.

I haven't gotten to use either yet so take my uniformed opinion with a grain of salt lol. But to me it sounds like if you're just trying to chat with friends then Matrix (the main client is called Element) is probably the simplest way to get started.

Research led me to 2 major protocols both w/ many apps utilizing them (basically the diff between email/gmail).
Matrix: shiny new kid on the block - modern, streamlined. XMPP: old reliable standard that isn't QUITE as simple but way better if you value self hosting and the privacy that comes with.

I think all my reading last year was non fiction, and maybe the year before, too. I can't remember books making me feel like this. usually but not always it's a long running TV show cuz that has become some regular part of my life for an extended period.

still realing from this book with the slightly depressive emptiness I often get after reaching the end of some good art. which is a normal thing right?

why should we make a streetcar instead of a rapid ride?

because rapid ride red is like the worst Seattle bus color and I see no other solution to this

gotta love an evening weekend bus schedule. went a little out of my way to Fremont before returning home cuz I figured I could taxi some take out pho quick enough to still be warm without reheating but here I am on the wrong side of a 30 min frequency cycle

why go outside when I can spend an hour writing something nobody will read about a streetcar that will never get built โ˜บ๏ธ

And that seems like something we're unable/unwilling/unlikely to do. Like we would need to run transit only lanes thru the pretty thin ROW of Wallingford. Imagine that fight.

Still. It's good to dream. I really need to get that transit simulator game so I can "build" all this stuff myself ๐Ÿคฃ

so yeah. the 44 I think has high enough ridership to justify the greater capacity unlocked by a tram. But realistically. given all the ways in which we've failed our current systems...it would take a complete, no reservations strat to pull this off in a way that would even slightly justify the cost.

So I think my ideal would be: UD Station > Two or three stops in central UW campus (W sign + Red square + fountain?) > UW Station / Hospital > switch back towards University Bridge > Head towards Capitol Hill.

But that switchback would probably look pretty ugly so I'm not fully sold.
