This is the left's fault, their new 2020 version of Modern Democratic Party Utopia, from the BLM supporting Biden types.

This is what Seattle really looks like. A high tech, modern, wealthy city, overall. That's currently booming, I might add.
I never saw the video, so cry me a river. Go live there if it's so great. Go live in Oakland, CA, or the pig sty called San Francisco for that matter, other great and glorious leftist Mecca.

I did live in Seattle for 25 years, until 5 years ago. So I know perfectly well what I'm talking about.

So have you compared the crime rate this year. To what it was 5 years ago?

And with Seattle having a large homeless problem. And designated sanctuary city.

And Biden sending millions more illegals.

You expect it to get better?

I neither expect it to get better, nor worse.

I first moved there in 1988. Even back then there was a large homeless population.

Seattle's crime rate peaked in the early 90's, along with most of the rest of the US. So I was there when crime rates were at their worst.

When are you guys going to stop merging urban living lifestyles with red/blue. Regardless of whether seattle is red or blue anytime there lots of people in a small urban area (specifically the US) there are going to be some issues that usually trickle down from a higher cost of living /job market (homelessness/crime/drug usage). Also Seattle isn’t a bad city at all.

Seattle construction still booming and won’t end anytime soon
Quote:
Even several years into Seattle’s record development boom, the building just won’t stop. And there’s no clear sign that it will slow down anytime soon.

There are 66 major projects underway now in the central part of the city, from South Lake Union to Sodo, up from 65 six months prior, according to a twice-yearly report released Tuesday by the Downtown Seattle Association.

Construction peaked at 74 projects a year and a half ago, and has had some ebbs and flows over the years, but the general trend throughout the decade has been more and more and more building. For context, Amazon’s entire campus in Seattle has about 44 buildings.

What’s more, using permit plans, the group counted 32 new projects ready to get started soon, and another 129 in the pipeline for future years, figures that haven’t changed much.
