The better question is, “why would you want to?”

Greed and money are always the answers to these pseudo-righteous questions. Greed and money.

I already know the answer to your question: It is a great city with a lot to offer. I'm happy to own a house nearby for the time being.

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.

You know millions of people don’t live in Seattle right? In fact, not even a single million people live there. Unless you count all the posers that claim they are from Seattle.

I bet you do. Since you love the city so much, but can’t be bothered to live there.

The Seattle metro contains over 4 million people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_metropolitan_area

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.
