Seattle is dying

Guess where those low IQ people are coming from?

"Texas continues to be the most popular destination for Californians choosing to live in another state, with 86,200 Golden State residents moving there in 2018, according to the American Community Survey data released Oct. 31."

Qatar has had a very high percentage population jump in recent years. Is their economy doing better than the USA's, which has grown quite slowly in recent years? How about India?? They've grown much faster than the USA as well... Is their economy better than the USA's?

No, Seattle's economy is dying. They are implementing far too many price controls, thus creating shortages.

People and businesses are moving too Seattle because their economy is growing. You may not like the facts, but those are the facts.

Houston and Dallas are not growing as fast as Seattle, but Austin is. Austin is very liberal.

Not what a fact is, and no it isn't. Seattle is implementing stricter and stricter price controls, creating more and more shortages. The people running the city are not very intelligent.

Quite right. Among the biggest shortages is apartment and condominium space, and restaurants (due to the $15/hr minimum wage law, yet another price control). Our homeless population is up though.

Seattle is growing so fast, it is hard for the apartments to keep up. There are more restaurants than there were before.

Can you be specific about what "stricter price controls" have been created? There is a proposal for rent control, but that is a future possibility.

Last year, Seattle built 17,450 new houses. That is a lot for that sized city.

No. Rent controls have closed many apartments. Zoning and taxes has closed many condominiums. Taxes and regulations have closed many restaurants. Others have left because Seattle won't deal with it's homeless problem and crime.

Once again, a murder rate that is half that of the rest of America. Yes, most cities have higher than average crime, Seattle has lower than average crime.

Searched the internet, and cannot find anything called RQAA involving "strict price controls".

What happens to a once thriving city after extreme liberalism gets a stranglehold over it.
Portland has been this way for at least two decades (when I first saw it).
San Francisco's there, San Diego went to shit, L.A. has always been a cesspool.
Our mayor and city council are hell bent on turning Anchorage into one, we're well on our way.

Always interesting how conservatives find the need to characterize certain cities as "failing" when we got plenty of red States that failed a long time ago, move to Mississippi and stop crying
 
Walt said:
The only thing growing faster than Seattle's population is its economy. Its murder rate is about between a third and half the national average, and it is a major city. Usually cities would be expected to have higher murder rates, but as rural whites become more violent, maybe we should no longer expect that.

Which is to say, I wish more Red Counties were like Seattle.

It is local news for me. Yesterday, the mayor said, in her press conference, that Seattle "is in crisis."

It is about more than the economy. It is also about the quality of life. All of those people coming here for high paying jobs are contributing to the misery of others.

Do you live around these parts, Walt?

Mississippi has some very fine areas that are not under dim control. Gulfport is really nice. It’s not within dimocrat tentacles of course. Just too hot and humid for my tastes.

See I assumed you would actually explain your claim about "strict price controls" in Seattle, and thought you were listing actual programs you believed existed. Instead, you were running from the argument. That is just sad.

Seattle has a proposal for rent control, but that is about it. There are no price controls actually in effect that I can find.

It is a growing vibrant city, with a lot of new home construction.

Scanning this thread was certainly a waste of time.

We are the most socially regressive republic on the planet and our most socially regressive elements would blame our problems on progressive liberalism.
