I like it when the liberals do something that gets the unions that support them to protest against them...
Liberal self-destruction is a wonderful thing.
Now if only they’d stop trying to force it onto the rest of us.
I am with Amazon on this.
I guess I am hoping for lefties to see the light on crap like this.
Greedy, commie bastards. That’s what they do. Destroy you.
This was already resolved. The tax was passed and Amazon resumed building.
Seattle’s building code is 745 pages long.
Makes me happy!
“On the other side are city council members like Kshama Sawant. She and members of her political party, Socialist Alternative, demonstrated in support of the tax. They chanted, “Housing is a human right!””
Another Indian “immigrant!” When will we ever learn?
It's only a matter of time, they will never look in a mirror and say "what did we do to make everyone want to leave?" Nope, force them to stay will be how they "solve" the problem.
“Finally, if a landlord decides to take a building off the market, he must pay each of his tenants $3,000 in relocation costs.”
Just like San Francisco, but it’s a cheap way out of their confiscatory “rent control law.”But in SF, if you elect to take your property off the market, in addition to the “moving costs,” you have to agree to not re-rent it for ten years.
Amazon, being the “woke” company that it is, should have upped their contribution to $10,000 per employee, and done so enthusiastically. What gives?
Whats even worse is when they enact thse policies upon the rest of us, but exclude themselves (like illegal aliens living 20 to a house in communities where the older inhabitants worked hard and paid to live in a nice neighborhood, or see their jobs undercut by illegals-and its never the leftist media and such who lose thereby-or shove government housing for criminal neer-do-wells into formerly nice neighborhoods, while the ones who decreed these policies live gated communities, or huge spreads with stout walls, etc). Theyre always compassionate at the expense of the middle class.
Directive 10-289.
Fixed capital investment in any area run by socialists is absolutely nuts. They will milk it, then steal what remains. The political climate and economy will not get better.
I like leftist feeding frenzies where they rip and slash each other to shreds.
Seattle’s building code is 745 pages long.
In 1955 my Dad, his Dad with some part time help from a brother built the home I grew up in. (Pennsylvania) 2 bedroom 1 bath, kitchen dining room and living room, open front porch @ 8,000 dollars. House is still standing and lived in today. This was of course in the days before Nanny Government!
Jeff Bozo, the Amazon CEO is a hypocrite. Bozo is progressive and anti Trump. Bozo should be thrilled at the opportunity to participate in leftist policies.
Trump’s grandfather Friedrich did very well as a small busibessman in early Seattle.
I wonder if bozo Bezos will get a clue as to what scum democrats are.
