Would the last person to leave Seattle please turn out the lights?

I heard of it.
Greed and money are always the answers to these pseudo-righteous questions. Greed and money.
Also happy when people like the GP leave this place altogether.
Moreover; whether youre talking about Detroit, London, NY, Baltimore, SF, Seattle, Dubai - _whatever_ - claiming a place where millions of real people live their lives is "dead" or a "shithole" or whatever, is an entirely graceless act. Nobody is forcing you to live here, move on with your life, or I'm going to assume you have some sort of weird insecurity that causes you to do behave this way. Presumably that is why the GP created an account just to make this claim; they didn't want it associated with their other internet identities.
I bet you do. Since you love the city so much, but can’t be bothered to live there.
When people refer to cities it tends to include the immediately surrounding suburbs and exurbs, but honestly I shouldn’t have to explain this to you. Just because you don’t live in shoreline or Renton or whatever doesn’t make you special at all. Have a nice life.
The last five years have been consistently hell. Nobody wanted to do anything that will actually help people in the city; just things that allow them to humble brag on Facebook.
Seattle is dead.
