Banning all non-delivery and non-emergency vehicles should have been done many years ago in the most visited attraction in the Pacific Northwest. But I’m glad to see Seattle as one of the leading US cities in urban planning.

Unless a large protest is happening in my city, I’m not planning to be outside on July 4.

It was a nice concept in the 2010s when it was like an advanced version of Couchsurfing or a digital version of a homestay. Then of course it became an unsustainable business model and went to dogs when it became a money making scheme for finance bros to buy up housing and charge 4-star hotel prices.

I booked the Airbnb room (not an entire unit, screw that) in an owned-occupied house back in December, and this was before one of the founders joined DOGE. I wished I stayed in a hotel though since they weren’t super expensive ($180 a night with taxes). I stayed in a hotel in NYC though.
