It's also ridiculous that these same people benefit greatly from a growing economy that's directly influenced by (and these days also partially propped up by) the boom in tech while deriding it like it's some kind of negative force. It sounds to me a lot more like envy than any nostalgia for artistry and run-down neighborhoods, as they claim.
- ondrae 11y agoThis article is about Seattle trying to slow the rising number of families being gentrified out of their homes and long standing communities. The nostalgia of not taking your kids out of their current school? The nostalgia of not having a new crazy commute? There is real pain happening to real people. Who is getting this great benefit that is so ridiculous?
