This * 1000. There’s a reason why even though Seattle has a big boom the house prices are not SF crazy.

The more your house increases in value, the more tax you pay.

I love Seattle for its shitty weather and somewhat affordable housing for how much companies are willing to pay.

My main issue with seattle is that, although the rent problem is not nearly as bad as SF, they have been ramping up their own spending exponentially. So what the landlord is not getting, the public officials are spending.
