In my experience I beg to differ, if you give them the opportunity of a real green card not a TN Visa....and so far the results of your poll kinda of prove my point...."
So far, it didn't prove anything yet.

Like I said in my previous post, Vancouver is a perfect mix of nature and urbanity. On the other hand, Seattle is a collection of suburbs (a.k.a "neighbourhoods" ) disconnected from each other. Seattle doesn't feel like a city at all. Seattle is a suburbia, and this is it's major flaw as far as I'm concerned. Vancouver is urban. Seattle is suburban. I much more prefer urban to suburban. Vancouver is urban, but at the same time, the access to outdoors is readily available at its doorsteps. The nature is right there, within city limits.
Oh, and don't bother to explain me anything point by point. It's not like you know more than everybody else. You got no points. Save yourself time. You won't impress me, trust me. I spent enough time in Seattle to know better. I know all I need about Seattle.

Is that a joke? Seattle has no public/accessible waterfront, which is a shame for a city with such great geographical location. Shame, I said.

So what? Everybody works at Microsoft. How many East Indians work at Microsoft? Of course, there also a couple of Vancouverites, so what? Why wouldn't they considering how close both cities are?

Seattle is to work. Vancouver is to live. It's as simple as that.
Seriously, you don't seem to understand what liveable is. You just don't get it. Why bother? And no, livable doesn't mean the right/ability to carry guns.
Look, we have had this conversation many times before. Why bother and spend any more time on each other? It's not like we can tell each other anything new.
I don't like Seattle, period. It depresses the hell out of me. The vibe is just plain wrong. I spend part of the year in NYC and part of the year in Vancouver. I like both. But Seattle is a no no for me, Microsoft or no Microsoft. I won't move to a place that depresses the hell out of me just so I have a better paid job. What for? To feel miserable all the time, like many people who moved to Seattle for jobs? Just check Seattle forums.
I remember once you said you didn't like NYC, the city I much much much prefer to Seattle? So then, what do you want to talk about?
Why, yes I am. I'm a nurse who worked in the American healthcare system.
Then I am sure you are well versed in the new law. So if there is anything that you are against then go right ahead and let it out. Specifics of course, since you are a professional and all.

Lol! You mean the law that hasn't even kicked in yet?
I'm a nurse, not a psychic.
Just wear your bulletproof vest, and you'll be fine. And don't forget to shoot back.
That's the spirit!
