“tech-workers moving to the city ... were infusing Seattle with their bland, one-dimensional lifestyle and “sucking out what’s left of Seattle’s soul”
Uh-huh.”
In other words they they made it to expensive to be a no-good-lay-about-welfare-prince
Or a basement-dwelling "musician" who's a part-time barista.
That indeed is what is happening in San Francisco. Now in Seattle. Rents are skyrocketing in SF. I went to middle school a block away from the heart of the Mission District, 24th & Mission. Used to be German/Irish/Italian until Mexicans turned it into a little Tijuana in the 1970s on. Lately, latinos were complaining about asian restaurants opening and "changing" the neighborhood, conveniently forgetting that latinos ruined the neighborhood when they immigrated in.
Just read some articles that white tech workers are changing the neighborhood around 24th & Mission for the better, latinos getting forced out due to high rents. Rents as high as $10G a month for apartments nearby. The welfare and handout types are griping. I'm laughing about it because they don't want the grime and crime changed for the better.
