You don’t need to register it in your name if you’re planning on just parting it out.

…there we go.

I don’t know what you mean with open - as in listed in MLS? I don’t know exact percentages, but I would gather conservatively 75% never get listed. It’s under the table deals and in some cases taking advantage of elderly. The area started providing free legal housing advice to elderly which implies city knows it’s a problem.

Oh yeah, parting out is 100% profitable, I managed to get my hands on a car that has an engine that will give me 100% back of what I'm paying for it possibly even a little more.

does nobody think about the cute $5M home neighborhoods? You’ll ruin the place! /s

No.

I have checked it out, like I said.

California has not released any motorcyclist death statistics, since 2019. If they wanted to prove the numbers went down they could easily do that. Yet they won't release the numbers specifically only for motorcycles? All vehicle related deaths went up in California through 2021. 😑

Here the wiki page about lane splitting and the research across different countries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lane_splitting

No thanks. I don't believe it safer and obviously I am well aware of the topic.

I've kind of been interested in doing that myself but i don't have the space living in apartments. Parting out cars can be pretty profitable, yeah?

(sry i can't answer your question)

What you’ve demonstrated here is that motorcycle fatalities are a problem on WA roads, and that is what lane splitting and filtering demonstrably to reduce.

By educating riders on when and how to safely filter through traffic, motorcycle accidents become less fatal, because they are happening at lower speeds. This reality is born out in the UC Berkeley study linked in the above post: > Lane-splitting motorcyclists were also injured much less frequently during their collisions. Lanesplitting riders were less likely to suffer head injury (9% vs 17%), torso injury (19% vs 29%), extremity injury (60% vs 66%), and fatal injury (1.2% vs 3.0%). Lane-splitting motorcyclists were equally likely to suffer neck injury, compared with non-lane-splitting motorcyclists.

Really hoping this passes! I've been really happy to see other states start implementing this. Would be a huge boost to safety while riding in heavy traffic.

No! I refuse to support this and think it's awful and unsafe. No reason I should be able to drive between cars just because there is lots of traffic.

I have several buddies that really want this to happen and have tried extremely hard to get me to agree, but I don't. I'll just wait in traffic like everyone else. It's a fun but dangerous hobby.

Motorcycles only comprise 3% of the road users in Washington State, but accounted for 15% of all fatalities and 19% of serious injuries in collisions between 2013 and 2017. About 1 in 5 motorcycle collisions result in serious injury or death and on average 75 riders die every year in collisions on Washington roads.

*In cities such as Seattle.

Welcome to the stack and pack state ladies and gentlemen this is only ment for more taxes that is all its not like our roads are capable of handling more traffic as it is.

Lol this is so funny because I was working at the Bothell city council meeting last week and there was high tension amongst them regarding a middle housing agreement that they have been working on.

If you're going to mostly be in Tacoma, The Old Hangout downstairs at McMenamin's Elks Temple is a fun tiki bar with good food, fun décor and exotic drinks. Dash Point Park is lovely and for museums I've heard the LeMay Car Museum is cool, as well as the Museum of Glass. Haven't been to either yet but have been meaning to for a while.

In Seattle the must-sees are Pike Place Market and Seattle Center/Space Needle. Go to Kerry Park for an iconic view of the city, the mountain might even be out!

I think I misunderstood your earlier comment that I replied to - I was under the impression you were against the change and were talking about how "nobody should be banned from buying a single family home here" as if people were about to be banned from buying SFH's.

My bad! We're in agreement.

I wanna hike here too.

100%. And if I sell my home and a developer wants to buy it and eventually tear it down for more dense housing? Great. That’s the free market working.

Also new developments of single family homes aren’t going to be outlawed either. They’ll just be in the suburbs because there won’t be the demand for multi family like there is in the actual cities.

It literally does tho, its basic supply and demand I dont know why this terribly backwards idea comes from. We have a supply issue, we need more housing. Literally any housing helps. If the developers and investors were just buying legit any open property anywhere sure you may have a point but that would mean we would have no houses available either which we know is not the case. All housing built is good full stop.

That would be the goal, but not happening. Families have a slim chance of getting a home against developers and investors. Until developers and investors are leveraged to point to where they slow down buying inventory, it won’t shift.

Well i sure stirred the pot here🤐

How would supply go up for rental houses? If everyone was only allowed one house, it would mean there are no rental houses available.

What if I'm a family of five who just moved to an area but don't want to buy a place just yet?

Or someone who just wants a small townhouse to rent and not own?

Or a single mother, recently divorced, who doesn't have the down payment for a house.

Won't the kids have their own SSN? I think your argument is flawed.

>My sarcastic point is that in a free country, we don't need permission from the government to buy anything.

We don't live in a free country. If you've ever tried to buy a firearm, you'd know this.

Which is good.

Depends on what you like, but MOHAI, MOPOP, Space Needle, the wheel on the waterfront, maybe try to catch a Kraken practice. Drive through the arboretum or out to Alki...
