As someone who moved to Seattle for a tech job, it's very exciting seeing the boom. Jobs are spraying everywhere; hope and life are flowing. It is frustrating to see the house prices go up, but the sense of change in the air is often almost palpable. Very thrilling.

That's funny, because everyone I know from or in Seattle who doesn't work in tech is talking about how it feels like their city is under attack and being destroyed, sort of like how it feels for everyone not in tech in the Bay Area.

Hope and life are indeed flowing here in Seattle. For some into bank accounts, for others into dump trucks. Thrilling isn't the word I'd pick, but how could newcomers know what's been lost? Expecting empathy from them is unreasonable. As absurd as expecting someone to see around corners.
