How are you voting on Prop. No. 1 Pike Place Levy

[Alpinfox]

 

Tell me how you are voting and why. Convince me I should vote the way you do.

[tvashtarkatena]

I voted yes, because I believe in maintaining the unique public spaces that give this city it's identity. They create a whole that is somehow greater than the sum of the parts, but don't ask me exactly how that happens.

 

Plus, it's a no-brainer place to take out of towners.

 

Best I can do here on short notice....

What about the argument that we are overtaxed as it is and that PPM should pull its own weight? Or the argument that this sort of thing should be included in the general budget and not some special levy?

 

If I read correctly, the PPM Levy would result in an additional $0.10/$1000 tax assessed value. Say your house costs $350k, that's $35 you will be taxed in 2009. Not too bad.

I'm going to notify the moderators about your OT post.

No. The levy will cost about $37 in 2009 on a median home price of $420K.

 

Still expensive, but still worth it to me (barely).

Yes, I confused the "total liability" with the "additional liability" of the PPM levy. Good jorb for noticing that and pointing it out. Very helpful and informative.

 

Hippy.

If I can find another source for those mini-donuts they have there, who cares about the place?

His math is as fuzzy as the dewy dog turds that accent the dandelions in front of his Dbl wide.

It must be Fall.

Anybody besides Trashtvalker and Portard have any input?

[olyclimber]

WHY NOT? ITS NOW STANDARD OPERATION TO PROP UP CAPITALIST ENTERPRISES WITH PUBLIC FUNDS.

I voted no. death to the PDA, Port of Seattle and all of the otehr fuckers

King county voted down the King dome twice.

They built it anyway.

Then they built two more stadiums on the pretext that it would make Seattle a destination, a contender, a viable economic downtown.

Same logic should apply to a place like PPM that has been around so long everybody knows to go there. Even the little fish shop where they yell and throw fish around is now a famous inspirational place featured in a mvie on how to inspire your employees. Take away and they'll all quit.
