Amazon software engineers in Seattle probably start at $150k. They should buy EVs if they are concerned about smog, or spend their $$$ on living close to work (within walking distance).
- bradknowles 3y agoLiving close to work in Seattle would mean they'd have to join a shared house with some other Amazon devs, because otherwise it wouldn't be possible to afford to live that close.

- nocsi 3y agoIt’s not just Amazon to blame, there’s just a shit ton more people living in Seattle with many tech companies having offices here. The main problem for traffic is actually a driver culture clash between transplants and native Washington drivers. Don’t believe me? 10-15 years ago, almost all the traffic could be attributed to some sort of accident. Nowadays traffic is never related to an accident and it all occurs at interchanges and merges on the highway. Washington drivers like to queue up miles ahead of time for exits they have, they’re also deathly afraid of cars merging into their lane and will switch lanes defensively. Both sides generate a lot of traffic waves when they continually clash.
