Seattle becoming Detroit

You can get a SFR under 50 grand in Detroit so there is that

As every individual, therefore, endeavours as much as he can both to employ his capital in the support of domestic industry, and so to direct that industry that its produce may be of the greatest value; every individual necessarily labours to render the annual revenue of the society as great as he can. He generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry, he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. Nor is it always the worse for the society that it was no part of it. By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. I have never known much good done by those who affected to trade for the public good. It is an affectation, indeed, not very common among merchants, and very few words need be employed in dissuading them from it.
tldr translation: When people live in shitholes, they move to non-shitholes and take their money with them.
It's almost like an invisible hand is guiding them or something....

Yellow, first off fren, I like you.YellowSnow said:Seattle sucks. I voted with my feet and left. It's not going to become Detroit though.
But I'm pretty sure you voted Dem early and often at the state and local levels and you reaped the rewards.
Moving to Bend like every other west of the mountains lib that enjoys the outdoors is humorous and par for the course.
Maybe I'm wrong, but if I'm not, don't make the same fucking mistake and turn Bend into Eugene.
Despite everything in Seattle I am blessed to have a good techish job and I enjoy living here, for the most part. Maybe I'll move one day, but until then I'll be fighting the good fight and will vote straight R. Who knows, the pendulum might even swing a little more towards sanity?

Aka San FranciscoBleachedAnusDawg said:Too many lefty's will continue to move here for Seattle to ever become Detroit. It's just past the point of no return in becoming a liberal elitist playground where you can either afford million dollar-plus mortgages or live in subsidized housing. There will be zero middle class in the city in another 15-20 years.

Well, fren, in the 25 years of and on that I have been a registered voter in Seattle, I voted GOP in every Federal, State and Local election with one notable exception- i.e., not voting for Trump in 2016. So I didn't reap shit. If you recall some of my earlier posts @PostGameOrangeSlices I was stuck in Seattle Public School hell waging a lonely fight again transgender pronoun studies for kindergartners and official BLM week in school.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

My wife and I are fortunate to be able to keep Seattle based income and live in Bend. It was a no brainier once this became a reality. It is overrun with California libs, but in comparison to Seattle it feels like Texas. We're in the most liberal part of town an instead of every other house having a BLM yard sign like my street in Seattle, maybe only 1 in 15 do here. That's progress if you ask me. -
Give Bend one more federal election cycle - they will catch up. The school district will not be far behind Seattle/Washington in its efforts to teach porno at an early ageYellowSnow said:

Fair enough! I missed that thread but sounds par for the course.YellowSnow said:

So what city of 100,000 near the mountains in the Western USA isn't fairly liberal? SLC? Ask @89ute . Missoula is getting more liberal. Boise I guess but it doesn't appeal to me. And living the guns n' religion compound lifestyle like @PurpleThrobber ain't going work for us.LebamDawg said:
