Seattle's traditional Capitol Hill residents are really struggling with the tech influx, just down the hill in SLU. New bars and restaurants open daily, rents have skyrocketed, and their arts scene is being pushed up the hill and to the east.

- jseliger 11y agorents have skyrocketed This is an easily solvable problem: http://www.amazon.com/Rent-Too-Damn-High-Matters-ebook/dp/B0078XGJXO http://www.amazon.com/Rent-Too-Damn-High-Matters-ebook/dp/B0.... Capitol Hill height limits and parking minimums are insane. I used to live across the street from Seattle U, and the apartment building was only four stories high. It should've been 20 stories, since everyone in it was connected to the university. Every street west of Broadway / 10th and south of Prospect should have no height limits or parking minimums. The problem can be solved: Seattle's politicians (and, by extension, voters) choose not to solve it.
