Sorry to say this but $800k for a home inside Seattle is pretty much middle market: nicely renovated, good location, maybe 1000 sqft.

When I went to college at the UW in the mid-1970s, I bought a house a block from Greenlake for $20k. It had been built in the 1920s. Liveable but renovation would be needed for it to be market ready. Gave my half to my first wife as part of our divorce settlement. About 10 years later, she sold it for $150k. Took a memory lane trip back to the old neighborhood on Zillow a couple of months ago. Houses up and down the street are now running $550k to a little over $1 million depending on how extensively they have been renovated. All of the lots are still narrow and deep.

So an $800k house is going to be disappointingly small to those not used to how outrageously inflated the housing market is in Seattle.

Kshama Sawant (/ʃʌmɑː sɑːˈwʌnt/; born October 17, 1973) is an American politician and economist who serves on the Seattle City Council. She is a member of Socialist Alternative.

A former software engineer, Sawant became an economics instructor in Seattle after immigrating to the United States from her native India.[3] She ran unsuccessfully for the Washington House of Representatives before winning her seat on the Seattle City Council.

She was the first socialist to win a citywide election in Seattle since Anna Louise Strong was elected to the school board in 1916.

Does anyone else see the similarities between “Autonomous Zone* and “No Go Zone”?

India can’t figure out how trash collection works.

Exactly.

The President can grab control of the media for 24-48 hours with a single tweet.

Kshama Sawant should have her citizenship revoked and be deported ASAP.

So she never saw poverty and inequality in Inia where poverty is the norm and the caste system still running?

White people and responsible ‘people of color’ will leave violent cities.\

Looting and violence pall over broken cities.

New companies chose cities without racial violence.

In time older established companies leave as they become noncompetitive. The best people don’t want to live in violent cities.

Stores looted will not rebuild.

Seattle spirals down...

Property values fall,

Thugs move into well maintained homes - slums spread...

Property taxes collected drop. Fewer city services, lower quality cops...

City services cut to the bone - the hellhole births.

SAME FOR NEW YORK... SAME FOR ALL DEMOCRAT CITES LOOTED BY DEMOCRATS.

I’m betting that even if you sent in the Marines right NOW, half of that hippy-dippy Marxist utopia will have to be razed due to the condition and expense of restoring it. Let that lezzie mayor pitch a tailgating gazebo and work off a folding table in the park there. Assuming there isn’t a single felony charge she can be arrested for.

Sawant came to America from India as a ‘software engineer ’ and then embarked on a career agitating for socialism. Legal immigration as done today will kill AmerIca as fast as illegal immigration.
