Gas tax + greed
When prices go up, they never really come back down.

Reply to Do you like living in Washington? by Something-Fierce
I love the beauty and climate here in Washington. Its the best state I have found for recreation. I am here for the long haul. But it is the most sexist and whitest state I have ever lived in. It is also the most corporate, business friendly state I have lived in. Great for employers, not great for workers. No income tax, but property taxes are really high.

There are some great aurora alert apps out there. Since I live on the west side of the cascades, I have all but given up on skywatching. Never seems to work out for me since I moved here 15 years ago. I live through others sky experiences now.
Thanks for the photo!

I get what you are saying in theory.....
In my area it did nothing to benefit, a number of friends own local restaurants, so not plainly untrue. My statement is true for my area. I can understand if its different in large Metro areas, but like I said, delivery is dead in my area. No side hustle delivery jobs here. No greater food choices for my community. That is def a net cost to my community as a whole.

A lot of damage was done. Some unexpected. I live in a rural area where the local restaurants used to deliver, that ended, and none of these delivery services will work out here....so no more home delivery in my area at all.
Edited to correct my comment

Another disruptor company that did nothing but hurt the industry.
I realized that I was making the same $35,000 per year in 1997 that I was making in 2012 doing the same job for a different company. There is def a problem out there.

Reply to Where to get Sun in the Winter? by Ok-Gift-7013
I live in the North Cascades. Its grey most of the winter. Seattle actually has more sun. East of the mountains may be sunny, but its cold, really cold and its snows. If you want consistent sun in winter on the west coast, it can be found in California or Arizona. That is why people leave here in the winter for places like Florida or the above mentioned. The PNW is grey, not all grey all the time, but to a person from Florida it will seem all grey through the winter.
