Oh man I feel so sorry for my artist friends who were forced out and can never move home again. One of them is slowly succumbing to depression due to ending up in Seattle and I really hope he can figure out how to get out of there before the winter blahs drive him to suicide.

Wow, Seattle! A punishment worse than death!

It isn't about the location, it is about being away from your family, your friends, and your community. That matters to some people.

Also 10 consecutive months of drab, gray skies and constant rain.

for some reason, 50 degrees feels more like 35

Eleven months! Don't move here.

You'd be more convincing if you said "Don't move there."

Grey and rainy forever is really bad for people prone to seasonal depression. Rents following the same path that SF took for similar reasons don’t help either, it is no longer the affordable place for art scenes to flourish that it was in the grunge era.

I lived there for several years and got out, and it’s really nice to be living somewhere I know I won’t spend half the year with a little voice in the back of my head suggesting suicide as the solution to every other problem because I am tragically low on sunlight and vitamin D even with a 2’ square sun lamp and lots of pills, and I see the symptoms of the same shit in the friend I’m talking about who ended up there after SF’s insane rents pushed him out.

He should consider large doses of vitamin D, for a start.

He has. So did I when I was living there. It helps but it is by no means providing everything that Seattle lacks, in my experience of most of a decade living there with a body optimized for warmer climates.
