    As much as I want things to collapse too I don’t think that’s a good thing. A lot of the people who built up Seattle and it’s culture got priced out, if things collapse the tech workers are all going to leave (more than they already are). Tons of desperate people will be left and the city will do an even worse job at maintaining the infrastructure.

    Maybe it needs to burn down to get built back up better but I wouldn’t say I’m hopeful for it because that could mean decades of hardship for people who don’t deserve it. If this does all go sideways though and I haven’t left the country by then, Seattle is my ride or die in the US. I feel so at home here and I’ll be in the dirt trying to bring life back to the city.
