Traffic in this region is absurd. Gas prices are absurd. The people that run this place have messed this up so bad it's embarrassing Thank you.
@Softykjr yeah car culture has ruined this country. I built my life around living walking and biking distance from my job and it changed my life. Had to take a pay cut to achieve it but it's been such a positive.
@Softykjr Gas is only super expensive in our state the moment you hit idaho its 3.50. Where as in our state its 4.64 on average. 45 percent higher than the national average of 3.20 so we cant blame trump only our own gov in wa. We gotta end mail in ballots for change to happen.
@Softykjr You’re so right dude. Wish we were run by some real Americans like Houston. Then we’d never have traffic… right?
@Softykjr Hey, but at least we pass literally every bogus tax raising proposition put in front of us. We have done this to ourselves, priced ourselves and children out of living here. Here’s to hoping Kansas is a nice place to retire because that will be the only place my kids can afford.
@Softykjr Welcome to the consequences of urban sprawl and fucked up zoning in the city
@Softykjr Softy went from growing up on the mean streets of Bellevue WA to sounding like an oppressed MAGA man from Soap Lake, WA.
@Softykjr Came to visit and catch a game. Between the entire town smelling like urine and seeing the $5.00+ gas prices… I was shocked. But the ferries are still cool.
@Softykjr Gotta pick a lane here, if you don't want so many people driving you definitely shouldn't want to make driving cheaper!
@Softykjr I don’t know a single person that would argue with you about that. It’s a turd and a Roomba type of mess
@Softykjr Remember this when they’re up for reelection
@Rainmakers28 You don't need to tell me man
@Softykjr Yeah I thought Emperor Inslee was bad but Fergy is rough. This $15B state deficit is going to make things very ugly for us. 😔
@Softykjr If only the Gas Man were still at KJR.
@Softykjr What’s embarrassing, is the Lemmings will Vote these same people back into office over and over again. Example: Tennis Shoe Mom. 30+ years 👎
@Softykjr Apparently the gas prices aren't absurd enough to alleviate the traffic.
@Softykjr Where is all that gas tax revenue going?
@Softykjr I paid $5.09 for gas today. Did people vote for this, yup! Downtown Seattle nearly impossible to take visitors to. Did people vote for this, yup! $12B - $16B projected deficit over the next 4 years, did people vote for this, yup! Quit voting for these people.
@Softykjr But where is better everyone? Just want to see these comments!
@Softykjr Born and raised in Seattle and my first MLB game was the Seattle Pilots. Love the beauty of the Northwest but couldn't take it anymore. If something is stupid the politicians up there embrace it. Moved to Texas 3 years ago and I paid $2.48 for gas last week.
@Softykjr Sure, but I would argue we are lucky enough to live in one of the best cities in the country. People want to come here because it’s so awesome. More people = more traffic. And one of the main reasons it’s awesome is because of the people who have run the place.
@Softykjr You let in millions of people in a very short time frame and this is what happens. Who did that?
@Softykjr At least there isn't a crime, drug, and homelessness problem.
@Softykjr We're looking at your former governor @JayInslee and current governor @BobFergusonGov Thanks for all the absolutely absurd tax increases. It's really working in the people's favors.
@Softykjr I don’t even know which area you mean, but I kind of do. That’s how retarded it’s become.
@Softykjr It’s all on purpose, it’s what they want, create instability and it’s ripe for communism
@Softykjr The Climate Commitment Act is a SCAM…. $4 billion extracted from hard working Washingtonians & only delivering 11% of that money to actual climate mitigation. Jay “Pennies” Inslee It’s called “GRIFTING”
@Softykjr Highest gas prices in the states Policy after policy make no sense Want to avoid gas prices. Nope EV license fees crazy high Oh we spend $20k a year on graduating high school kids with 4th grade math level
@Softykjr After being a lifelong Seattle-area guy, we moved to Madison, WI in 2020. It is indescribable how much better the quality of life is here. Visit Seattle like 6x/year (going to Hawks this weekend), but can't imagine moving back.
@Softykjr Google: "Seattle's population has risen by approximately 221,000 people, or about 43%, since 1990, from 516,259 to 737,015 residents." And that doesn't count suburbs. It's a population problem.
@Softykjr Well, Dave, when the opposition runs someone other than a candidate like Loren Culp, change will come. Would you seriously vote for someone like Loren Culp?
@Softykjr Left the Eastside in 2016 and moved to Scottsdale. Couldn’t take the business climate, local politics, traffic and weather any longer. Best decision ever.
@Softykjr And yet…everyone keeps doubling down on stupidity
@Softykjr It's why we left. Non-stop construction on the freeways for my entire life over there - 405/18/5 - but never any progress.
@Softykjr Just wait for the next mayor. It’s only going to get worse. See NYC
