it is so unsafe on seattle's streets for people who get around by bike (thanks, @seattledot) that i know a number of folks who have given up riding for fear of being killed. i know people who have decided to move to live in cities w/ safe bike networks. broken down & bought cars
hell even my wife has stated she isn't opposed to moving back to europe because it's obvious that SDOT and mayor don't care about anyone but motorists.
there's no safe bike network
SDOT thinks plastic bollards save lives
and we're spending billions on car-only infrastructure

we're not building car-free neighborhoods near transit.
TOD is a complete joke in this city.
no streets are being redesigned to drastically drive down VMTs.
no consequences for motorists constantly breaking laws and endangering pedestrians and cyclists.
it's utter madness.

it's becoming apparent this isn't going to change in my lifetime.
the people who scream 'we must protect our trees' are doing everything possible to ensure they continue to burn and die off in the region.

we need to radically redesign our streets for climate action - which means drastically reducing VMTs.
also only way we'll meet climate goals. EVs are less than 3% of cars in seattle, ain't changing much in next decade. nor doing squat on safe streets

'RMI analysis indicates that the United States must reduce VMT by 20 percent before the end of the decade to limit warming to 1.5°C—and this remains true even under ambitious EV adoption scenarios.'
our VMTs are going up, not down, due to poor leadership
