About

Seattle should be a world-class city. In some ways, it already is. In others, it’s very far from it.

This publication, this blog, will offer opinions and perspective on the things that would help us get there—and, just as often, the things that won’t.

This city is one of the wealthiest in the history of human existence. There are enough resources for everyone. There’s enough space for everyone.

There’s enough of everything for this city to be nice for everyone.

I’m not going to spend a bunch of time on this About page because the my writing will make clear the perspectives and strategies this publication intends to advance.
