Every book the Talmud. Never pick up your dribble.

@TomNissley aka @PhinneyBooks, has always been about lists (ask him about the top LPs of 1970). I like his most recent list of poetry best sellers! @CathexisNWPress @FLPress

City Council is queuing up impact fees on development, aka, housing. How about considering the impact of housing scarcity and putting a fee on non-development, aka, the 75% of Seattle where development (apt buildings) are banned. That's what I argue here: https://t.co/tMFiHdroTu

Tree activists say we shouldn't cut down trees for housing, but considering we clearcut much of Seattle to build their homes ... NIMBYism defined in Seattle.

@walterfhatch If, like in my proposal, where the $ goes back to the Eastside for affordable apts. in single-family zones, you send the $ back to Seattle. Also, you'd have to show—per my focus on sustainability (not congestion)—that burbs have a smaller footprint than dense Seattle. Then. Sure.

My PubliCola column this week is about NYC's exciting Congestion Pricing . Or specifically: How Seattle should go bolder than the Manhattan model. A better program—let’s call it Sustainability Pricing—would revamp congestion pricing in a few key ways... https://t.co/jQ1TolqPqb

Poetry NW has a Q&A w/ me. Hard not to sound loopy about poetry. Enjoy the loopiness: "Poetry gives you room to explore weird juxtapositions. You’re talking about TOD and you’re talking about Athena. She rides a chariot and we’re riding a bullet train." https://t.co/5lplaVWTOh

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who pre-ordered my new book of poems, "The Night of Electric Bikes." I have to admit, though, I'm particularly psyched about this sale. @ElectricBikesNW

@typewriteralley has a good update @PubliColaNews about the YIMBY housing legislation in Olympia. https://t.co/WaRa06FQUP #HousingForAll

I always appreciate a shout out from NAEBA.

Is a pro-development YIMBY being a NIMBY hypocrite for fretting about the Grand Illusion news. Nope. Here's why:

Here are 2 pull-quotes from my column: "You can’t put hyper-dense transit hubs flush up against low-density neighborhoods and expect it to generate sustainability in isolation." "Unfortunately, Liias’ exciting legislation may end up sabotaging an adjacent pro-housing bill."

Getting some love from the publisher: They made my new book, The Night of Electric Bikes, their chapbook of the day. I hope you'll consider pre-ordering it. Pre-orders impress the algorithm, which is good news for a book of city planning poetry. @flpbooks https://t.co/x41q0JFqZ7

Year-end (encouraging) column by me: State Democrats take long overdue step toward passing affordable housing legislation.

Trending as my favorite pre-filed bill for the upcoming 2023 state legislative session: The legislature finds that the Suciasaurus rex, the 1st and only dinosaur discovered in Washington state, should be designated as the state dinosaur. https://t.co/XdBXQqg65W

@yokoono Right back at you Yoko Ono. Happy Halloween from Seattle.

@PeggyDolane @ericacbarnett @CMDanStrauss Presumably, if you’re inhibited about speaking in public, 230 people would be an intimidating space—unless the assumption is that everyone in the room agrees w you. In that case. This was a rally.
