The people of Seattle elected those who will destroy their own city, which will soon become the “Detroit of the Northwest.”
Cue Seinfeld saying “that’s a shame.”
The on-going story of man, with few exceptions, America being one of them, is he is seemingly hell-bent to self destruction. Seattle, the new NY and California, gets big, and goes hard left to socialism which kills the goose (business) that laid the golden egg.
And around and around it goes. The astonishing of man’s history through the present is his astonishing propensity for his own self destruction.
Jesus is coming soon to fix all of that - forever.
Bezos is brilliant but Bill Gates was smart enough to build Microsoft in Redmond and Bellevue.
Seattle desperately trying to catch up to Los Angeles, Good Luck, we beat you big time with the Homeless fiasco.
This happened to Flint and Detroit....Puttsburg in automotive and heavy industry. How much is a company responsible for a community that builds up and becomes dependent upon it for survival?
They came for profit and they leave for profit. Somewhere along the way, many are left holding the inflated property and new jobless community. Social contract was the key phrase for Flint and Detroit, but poor management caused those jobs to die. Life is hard. Accept the cheese moved and make changes.
Every employer demands loyalty...until they decide you need to be let go. Every employee pledges loyalty....until they see their best interest is elsewhere. The social contract is bs spewed by folks that feel bad for the losers, who are in a world of hurt.
They need to move FURTHER AWAY from Seattle, as in to another state - a state that is FRIENDLY to job creators, not leaches.
...but I guess it is a start.
It's a real horse race, with San Francisco (homeless/feces paradise) and Austin (new camp anywhere law) thundering down the track, too.
Seattle is slowly circling the liberal (D) drain; people will vote in conservatives and the defeated libs will then blame them for Seattle going down.
Are there many blacks in Seattle?
“Social contract was the key phrase for Flint and Detroit, but poor management caused those jobs to die.”
Not that the unions were all that friendly to the people who employed them either. Plenty of blame to go around, especially compared to the success that non-union Honda and Toyota are having in producing cars here.
Bezos feels guilty for being a white capitalist pig.
He'll go off the deep end someday.
Will Bellview be a significantly better environment? Not aware of the Washington politics.

Seattle is suffering from Left Coast syndrome.
Good
There is a video on youtube called “Seattle Is Dying”. I believe they may be onto something.

Seattle was one of my favorite places to go visit, not anymore.
