But Amazon’s presence — and the high-paid workers it employs — has also been a major factor in creating a housing crisis in Seattle, which has the fastest-growing home prices in the country...

It's really incredible and sad what Amazon has done to Seattle residents with their high-paying jobs.

Not many can afford a 2 bedroom apartment at $3000/month?

The rent prices have skyrocketed and that has led to an unprecedented new homeless population and opioid crisis.

Former residents, priced out of their apartments, or who can no longer afford the higher property taxes have resorted to living in their RV's and these RV's are parked all over the city, illegally dumping waste and the good liberals in Seattle are allowing it. Homeless encampments in city parks, parents having to walk across soccer fields before their kid's games to pick-up all the hypodermic needles.

My once great hometown has been turned into a liberal, socialist crime-ridden, drug-ridden, vagrant-ridden sh*thole.

The new city where Amazon erects their new campus better be aware of what else Amazon will bring with them.
