 Fire Station No. 6, 101 23rd Avenue South Official Press Release from the City of Seattle We at the City of Seattle understand the urgency behind making bold investments in the Black community and increasing community ownership of land in the Central District. The City believes in the vision behind the William Grose Center for Cultural Innovation and we remain committed to making the transfer of Fire Station 6 to the community a reality. We have received Africatown's list of community requests along with a longer list of asks from other black-led organizations. Deputy Mayor Shefali Ranganathan has already met with the King County Equity Now coalition and, on behalf of Mayor Durkan, she will be working with Seattle Department of Neighborhoods and Seattle Office of Planning and Community Development to work on next steps with the community.  |

Africatown is a group that acquires land throughout Seattle for the blacks. Apparently not by purchasing it but by demanding people give it to them

Communist Insurgency
Local Seattle Gov + State and National Gov from Seattle area that are not calling on local officials to provide security and continuity of order are complicity with the insurgents. REAL question for anyone in Gov in Seattle: * What is the tenor of your department (could be public works, admin - whatever)? * What are your supervisors saying? * What are the patterns of conversation at work with co-workers regarding all of this? TIA, BTW |

People are going to find out in short order just how incredible municipal services really were.
I hope this continues across the country, so there will be no question as to the outcome of emotion based decisions. It will end the exact same way in all but probably 2% of cases. Of course, in a few years everyone will forget or say they didn't do it right and try again. |

How in the hell do you "transfer" a Fire Station to private ownership ? ? ?
If it now becomes a "private" property, in lieu of a "city" property, will the new Owners now be liable for property taxes ? ? ?

So the community group that took over the fire station has trained and certified fire fighters already in place? Impressive...

* Many / most Building Hazard INS policies on Commercial buildings contain a provision exculpating the INS company from having to pay for damage associated with Rioting or mayhem resulting from War or Political Upheaval. When they burn down, even if the tenant wants back on to the site someone is going to have to come out of pocket to put the building up. The tenant is more likely to move to the next closest freeway exit in an area that was not damaged
* Blight makes for opportunities. Initially it is about taxpayer sponsored programs to help the area, then it is about beefing up LE to deal with the area, and eventually about public private partnerships to redevelop. Wash, rinse, repeat. |
