The problem with Seattle is that housing/rents are skyrocketing, to the point where a small 3 bed home runs up to 3/4 of a million, or the average rent is almost 1800 per month.
Sure you could live 1/2 to hour away for affordable housing, but then you'd have to put up with horrible traffic on I-5.
2. Like all major cities with millions of people there are extremely wealthy people and extremely poor people.
Conservatives love extremely binary answers - We are right, We win and liberals are wrong.
There are plenty of Republican run areas in the deep south and in rural America were most people are living off disability and the government and are on drugs.
this special is causing quite a stir in the Seattle area. It's been a long slow process dating back at least 25 years with Seattle drug culture combined with far-left politics. The divide in Seattle politics has been not between right and left, but between liberals and full-on Marxists.
There are several moderates and even conservatives running for city council, and I won't be surprised if one or more of them actually win due to frustrations in the city. This guy was on the board of a Jewish cemetery in Seattle, and they had to recruit ex-IDF guys as security because druggies were snorting drugs off of grave stones, and using the area as a brothel. https://hoffmanforseattle.com/
I almost never go there any more for fear that my car window will be broken, or worse.
Got anything other than a YouTube video as a source, with verifiable information?

Same issue happening in NYC. Unless you have a great job - you will be struggling to makes ends meat with those middle level jobs. If you're making 50-60K in NYC and have children you will be struggling (forget about ever owning anything) - if you have a job like that in say small - medium city well outside of a major city - you'd be doing OK with a middle class life and have the opportunity to own a house.
