That seems like so long ago. I just shake my head when I see the day-to-day ridiculous actions taken by the city council. The city, and its sister city Portland, have become laughing stocks, and rightfully so.

I have more or less resigned myself to not posting on social media much any more, but this thread really struck a nerve. It is not just Seattle, though. This is a bad situation in many cities. What do to about it?
