Monster Garages in Sequim
We've all heard of monster homes that dwarf all the other homes in a neighborhood and block people's views. Now Sequim apparently has a problem with monster garages.
The Sequim Planning Commission will be discussing the possibility of limiting garage sizes at their 6 p.m. meeting tonight. Any new size limits would apply only within the Sequim city limits.

I think they should just keep paving over paradise and putting up parking lots, and big garages.
There are two types of people in the world: those who care about how their actions affect everyone else, including future generations, and those who build huge fucking garages.
This type of display is exact what you should expect from those with the Fuck You, I Got Mine mentality. They are most commonly seem making tirades about freedom (to do whatever they want regardless of how it affects anyone else) and how the federal government, UN and the enviro-nuts are ruining everything by trying to stop them fucking up the world for everyone else.
Only thing that would make that right is a big tin can opener.
Anon @ 10:03 - There is a third kind of person in the world. Those with a GANJA-GARAGE, or a "Ganjarage", as we call them in Cali. None of that going on in Sequim, I'm sure.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to vote today at the PDN but I'd like to register my vote here. My favorite hot pocket is ham and cheese.
Gotta put those huge motor homes somewhere.
Re: bicycle taxes
I'll pay a bicycle tax when there are bicycle lanes on ALL of the major streets in the city. Until then you can fuck right off.
As a bike rider, I don't mind paying taxes for infrastructure. Problem is, the government isn't really building bike infrastructure. What's PA done for bikes? Painted lines further out from the shoulder on a few streets? That doesn't change the amount of traffic on the road, just squeezes everyone dangerously closer together. Painted some green boxes on the downtown intersections? I guess that improves visibility.
The best thing done for bikes around here is separating them with the Olympic Discovery Trail, and that is done mostly with grants and donations. Plus, the ODT has limited access points in Port Angeles. From Strait View Drive to downtown, there are exits at Ennis and Francis. As commuting goes, that doesn't leave many points out. I love it as a recreation trail, but for commuting I try to stick to side roads where I can. Still nearly get beaned every once in awhile, but traffic isn't as bad as it used to be at least.
I see little in this bill, which includes the bike tax, that would help improve bike infrastructure. Certainly not to help build dedicated bike trails. Plus the tax is geared for higher priced bike shops and encourages people to buy cheap bikes at Walmart. If you're going to tax, tax fairly.
