Seattle doesn't have the density of NYC. So the customer to restaurant ratio just isn't the same. Seattle restaurants must charge more per a slice of pizza than in NYC because they don't have people in their shop all day buying $3.50 slices. Seattle must densify to lower prices.

I’m visiting NYC and I’m SHOCKED how much cheaper food here is compared to back home in Seattle…

Because a decent chunk of Real Estate in this country relies on cheap gas. Its only accessible via car, and because of its low density its built far away from real job centers. This means that the value of these properties would tank if the price of gas/energy rises to the point where commuting from these places costs more than the saved value of moving out here to own these homes

Idk why gas prices are so culturally salient in america. You could drive an hour a day and it probably comes to less than $3k/year. Is it because they put the price on billboards along the road?

Easy to see why, as a millennial, I've become more liberal the older I've gotten When I was a college freshman, Bush won the presidency. Since then, Republicans have been wrong on every major policy issue of my adult life: Launching wars, voting rights, torture, LGBTQ+ rights, taxes, social services, COVID, healthcare, school lunch for children, vaccines, ICE, and immigration. Every single one

I'm really curious if they actually tried to workshop this name before changing it. No one was asking for this name change and no one uses it to refer to SeaTac airport. Also SeaTac is simply easier to say than S-E-A so that alone will make it win out in the end.

Still calling us Sea-Tac? Whoops… it’s SEA.

It’s important to note that most global unrest in the past 5 years has been caused by 3 70-something white boomer losers desperate to stay out of prison.

Why are the fake news accounts overwhelmingly on the right? Macedonian teenagers in 2016 found that Trump supporters were the most gullible audience. "The American right, especially the emerging MAGA ecosystem, was simply a dream customer: highly engaged, highly inflamed, and extremely willing to click through to garbage sites that paid out ad revenue...It’s a niche where people are willing to follow a random, anonymous account and treat it as a trusted voice on everything from elections to vaccines to border security – boosting its content to their friends as well." Now you see what I mean by low human capital. Trumpism isn't the rise of an ideology as much as it is the mobilization of stupid people.

Buying and controlling media platforms. Firing commentators. Canceling shows. These aren’t coincidences. It’s coordinated. And it’s dangerous. The @GOP does not believe in free speech. They are censoring you in real time.
