Which would be great I think? Roanoke is the better front door if it’s an option.

If it opens onto Roanoke it will be very peaceful. there is a house across the street from this proposed project, also on the arterial, going for 2.3 million. Highly desirable location, this might add some needed diversity to the block.

It’s 400 feet from a public library, an SPS elementary school(that needs enrollment), three bakeries, and a market. Not to mention School of Rock! This is a great idea. The way the roads are there its also easy to have it facing the quiet residential area.

I *think* that was a car coming up 55th (a steep hill), not 35th(so would likely not be affected), but I think bus lanes would be very groovy up the whole way anyway.

Today we were lucky with our 4 pm sunsets, but agree. Not helpful when it’s maybe going to be out at 1 am!

It was not rushed. Anywhere we build new housing will have fewer amenities; that’s not accepted as a reason to keep out density anywhere else(and shouldn’t be). This is pure factionalism, and I’m disappointed in my fellow yimbys for falling for it, sorry.

This is SO crappy. I hate this process. We need those homes; it was going to be so great, and I’m incensed the port has been allowed to stop it.

I feel like I have read somewhere this has partly happened? Maybe I am losing my mind? Hopefully somebody will ever update BEX committee meetings and we can find out.

The whole process this time was sort of fubar, which is weird bc capital is usually very competent, as a department. The metrics always over emphasize elementary, though, which seems especially dumb given our enrollment changes.

Genuinely just never should’ve opened Meany. None of it has gone well, and I don’t trust them to turn things in a better direction at all.

And then what they are using not related to what we would think of as learning environment (even the educational learning environment score).

It’s sort of all about equity, but in a way that deprioritizes larger schools (so everything 6-12, but especially north end) doesn’t allow any urgency when bldg conditions drop well below acceptable, just generally doesn’t consider how many kids will benefit or suffer from the choices.

Whitman should legitimately be next though. we are WAY behind on middle school work, so there are several that are far worse than any elementary.

BC Aki is already on the list and Washington is being eyed for closure.

You are going to be so upset if you ever see the grid of factors used to determine remodeling/replacement priority for BEX.

My friend writes for this- imo it’s way too conservative, ages set too high, but you can pick a movie you think might be good and scan for horrifying stuff that flew over your head when you watched it. www.commonsensemedia.org

Yes totes, I will say we overconfidently charged into classic movies of our late-gen-early-millennial childhood and those did NOT age well. Our most “indie design arty” child likes Wes Anderson movies.

Can you convince the non animated person- I also don’t really favor animation but that’s prime Miyazaki era(and I make an exception for those) Alternatively prolly mcu, hobbit, or a Roald Dahl live action.

This is the race I am most bummed about (I am a schools person, also went 50/50). She is a deliverer which is the executive’s job. He builds movements but does not deliver- I actually think he’ll be substantially worse. Though I would vote for him for congress over her.

I always like the headline version! I also like governance that is focused of student outcomes! In theory.

What is “Balanced Governance” I am so suspicious of edu jargon that I do not trust this.
