Goodbye, Seattle

So explain why Portland is voted one of the most livable cities then? You don't get to judge a city, simply by political means.

Livable city votes are worthless. Portland is a shithole. Burnside Avenue, which used to be a nice street, is filled with drug addicts, mental cases, people crapping in the street, crime, the whole bit that comes with the homeless.
 
It's a Sinclair station so yeah your drugs are confusing you again. Seattle is doing just fine.

No, it isn't. There are more homeless than ever. They are everywhere. Crime is increasing too. Rent controls have failed (as expected). People are moving out to surrounding areas. Many businesses are leaving too, or just closing and the owners retiring. Still the city council does NOTHING but try one liberal band aid after another.

You don't understand. JD and CA consider that not only livable but desirable traits for a city. As does it's mayor and city council.
 
I did watch it. Seattle simply isn't dying, nor does that video demonstrate that it is.

Believe me, it's FAR worse here in Los Angeles, and LA isn't 'dying'.

No one is talking about Los Angeles. Redirection fallacy.
Stay on topic. The discussion is about Seattle, not about Los Angeles and its problems.
 
Depends on what one's priorities are.
Apparently his is living an artificial bubble and being a snob. Typical of many people in LA.
I just fly off to my house on Hawaii or condo on Kauai if I feel the need for better weather,
Beautiful island. I lived on Maui for a few years myself, but a Samoan on Kauai taught me how to husk coconuts with just a stick pointing up from the sand, though. It's fast!
grew up and lived in New Orleans so I know about good food, just don't eat out much any more.
New Orleans has MUCH better food than anything you can get in LA! Cheaper too!
Wifey and I both are good cooks.
Bet you are.
Being self employed with a thriving bidness I couldn't care less about the rest of the employment status of an area. Anchorage is also VERY racially diverse so I'm good with that.
That it is. Anchorage has a lot of frontier town left in it too, despite its size.
Nah, I don't like crowded big cities, it makes people more rude, so I disagree with the 'great people' thing.
Agreed.
And not only is the traffic a nightmare but the drivers make it a living hell.
Yes it does. I don't recommend driving around Florida, particularly the Miami or Orlando area.
LA is on my short list of about 4 cities I avoid as much as possible.
All of New Orleans, all of LA, downtown Portland and downtown Atlanta.
It's rather sad what's happened to New Orleans over the years. Atlanta has its good spots, but much of it is angry and crime ridden.
