Seattle locals are opposed to parking for exactly the reason the WaPo explains -- it's a subsidy paid by non-drivers to support drivers. Locals would do better if parking lanes were gone and buses had those lanes.

Today we learned that racists and sexists are rebelling against ... being disliked for being racist and sexist.

Yes, I supposed we could fix that by not complaining about them being racist and sexist.

A state doesn't have a "perspective". A state is just a line drawn around a collection of people. Mathematically, a majority of states have excess power in proportion to its population. From a state's imagined perspective, it's a tyranny of the majority.
