  1. Why do we need to be a world class city? Seems the more "world class" we get, the more miserable the city gets. Seattle was a lot better 30 years ago, the traffic was bad, but not compared with today. Many trees have been destroyed in order to allow developers to build ugly buildings. There was actually parking in most areas of the city and you could park for long enough to actually get your stuff done. At least Gillespie seems to be focused on large buildings where they mostly already are. And at least he seems to care about making them nice to look at and functional. As opposed to the hacks that have been building things lately.

  2.  @politicaltroll8920  I hope the point the GP was making was not about individuals, but about the community at large. But, otherwise, it's not true, we've got homeless people now that are working fulltime jobs and can't afford to rent housing.

  3. I've never understood the attitude that these people coming from other cities are going to make the city a "world class" city. If we wanted a world class city, we would have built one. We didn't have one, in large part because we didn't want one. If we wanted one, it would have been far simpler to just move to some city that's already world class and not had to destroy a perfectly good city in the process.

  4. We don't want to a be a world class city, and we don't have any actual socialists in our city council. They talk a good game, but on the rare occasion that they accidentally do something socialist, they're sure to walk it back as quickly as possible. Just look at that head tax they passed and then immediately unpassed when Amazon called to complain about it. That's not the act of socialists.
