Recluse reflections: PI editorial say "No" to new monorail initiative
Notes on spaces seen through windows
"But now he knows these hills, that is to say he knows them better, and if ever again he sees them from afar it will be I think with other eyes, and not only that but the within, all that inner space one never sees, the brain and heart and other caverns where thought and feeling dance their sabbath, all this too quite differently disposed."

PI editorial say "No" to new monorail initiative

In an wishy-washy editorial, the PI calls SMP's ballot measure "Too little, too late":
The new Green Line would be nearly one-quarter shorter, doesn't make the essential Ship Canal crossing, yet will still cost Seattle vehicle owners the same tax rate. This is an unacceptable proposal that we recommend voters reject.

They also recommend an investigation of the SMP project whose board is asking voters to grant it greater powers:
No matter which way voters go on Nov. 8, it's time for a thorough look at what went wrong with SMP governance, not so much to find fault with this project but to find direction for future projects of this magnitude. We suggest that state Attorney General Rob McKenna, with the cooperation of the state Department of Transportation and the city of Seattle, conduct such a review, and present findings to the Legislature in the upcoming session.
