Thank you! I definitely have found it useful for analyzing pages, SERPs, and doing some link building. Upcoming features should make it useful for agents using browser control.

That's also true, but the point I am making is that registered vehicles may not ever get driven.

it's the actual swatting

My first thought is that this is a pricing problem, especially considering the cost of enforcement.

Also, please consider this is just for registering the vehicle, gas taxes actually pay for road use.

AOC could lose her district and opt to run against Schumer instead of staying in the House. Payback for AOC beating another incumbent Democrat that ends in her beating Schumer for US Senate.

That is the most interesting thing that could happen at least.

Yeah, I think it deleted all my plugins this morning. Yay.

Right, they just used an outdated, unfair, deprecation schedule that doesn't reflect reality. Just happened to still be on the books.

They aren't "required" to use that schedule, it sounds like they are the only ones using it, and Sound Transit wrote the legislation.

So I really don't understand your point. Sure we need transit, but the ends don't justify the means.

>the current car tab is at least an order of magnitude too small.

Your opinion may be clouding your judgment. It's not right to inflate the value because you can't pass a higher rate with legislation. This is why a lot of people don't support transit, because the people advocating it can't be honest.

This is also why Washington State voters keep passing a cap on the car tab fee. Like it or not, the voters of the state still get to decide on the rules that govern them. They agreed to a rate increase on the fair-market value of their vehicle, not for Sound Transit to charge whatever they want because they lost some grant money.

Sound Transit inflated car valuations https://goo.gl/bhGuFC

It was dishonest at best, at worst it's a fraud.

And some of the worst housing affordability. People who move out of the city can't justify to drive and park in Seattle.

It would be near impossible to navigate Metro, SoundTransit, and surrounding transit agencies without OneBusAway or Google Maps. Idk, SoundTranist also tried a massive money grab on car tabs on inflated valuations. They are doing just as much to undermine support for transit as anyone.

I guess it is pretty common for sites with parallax. It's pretty damn annoying.

Truth. I've been working on that scrolling issue. I think I have it fixed finally. It's part of a plugin that I've been evaluating and need to get rid of.
