This is a municipal course as well, so Seattle could literally do this. The city government doesn't want to.

This heavily neglected sidewalk, next to the fenced off golf course, alongside a high speed and very busy highway onramp just 2 blocks from a light rail stop, tells you just how much the city cares about the area.

There is no excuse not to cleanup and widen this sidewalk except apathy and malaise from the city.

@mosiacmango @PugJesus
My wire cutters, pipe cutters and bolt cutters are cheaper than your fence.

That lady is Seattle personified.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 11 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

A fairly generic lady and that’s what you took from that guy’s comment?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

There’s nothing generic about that lady in fact that’s a pretty cruel thing to say about someone.

I’m a fairly generic looking person, we are more than our looks. She has nice glasses and isn’t unattractive or anything it’s just there’s basically nothing there to tell you where the picture is taken. There aren’t even visible brands anywhere.

Other than maybe being able to guess the pacific northwest based those maybe being barefoot shoes, which is still a reach, what else is there?

Also damn, going after me for being “cruel” while reducing her to a stereotype of her city? On a post about sidewalks I mean fuck, who asked you anyway?

Sorry, I didn’t mean any offense but it really feels like you’re trying to start a fight here and I don’t want any of that.
