The alarming concern is that by creating 70k new jobs in the South Lake Union, that's roughly 70k units of housing near SLU that are going to primarily higher earning white tech workers. This is raising rent in all of the central city (including many historically considered neighborhoods of color) and pushing lower-earners further and further away from their jobs, their churches, and their communities. Yes, eventually the latter two will move with them, but to separate these communities is painful and their labor is still needed in the inner city.
