# Revive I-5 is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reduce car dependency and encourage transit, walking, rolling, and biking, but the Seattle region is letting it slip between its fingers. It's not too late to fix that, opines Kadie Bell Sata.
Seattle has been behind the 8-Ball, at maybe the Bezos Balls is more apropos, ever since Amazon announced it would remain in Seattle as it’s primary HQ over ten years ago.
The population, rent, and congestion all surged. It hasn’t been the same since. Updating I-5 is a fool’s errand. This city’s too geographically constrained for the population we harbor.
The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing cities that running a freeway through the middle of their city would be economically beneficial.
