I hear and empathize with this complaint, and I think it's a real problem. But what about the people on the other side of the fence? You work in software, some company pays you a lot to move out here, and you're in a position to choose where you want to live. Should you really not live in a particular area because it makes you part of a bigger problem?

- steve-howard 11y agoThere are good arguments to be made against gentrification, and there are good arguments to be made that people don't deserve to have special privileges just because they got here first. It makes me sad that a lot of the public debate in places like Seattle comes down to "fuck you, go home."
