I see Mayor Bruce Harrell rubbing his hands together as he slowly nods in approval of all this.

Hopefully where I work doesn't try to pull this off. At least my manager would not like it one bit seeing as their commute is already 50 min one way 2 to 3 times a week. But who am I kidding, it will probably happen and then I get to sit on video calls in the office with all the people I collaborate with across the states and europe.

well, without people working downtown, it will be abandoned to drug addicts in a spiral of insufficient public safety resources and declining revenue. so i don’t blame him.

    At least then you might get a mayor that works for the people living downtown than whatever suburbanites swarm it on work days.

      This comment cracked me up. I do live in downtown Seattle.

    Or maybe all of the ridiculous pressure from sky high salaries and no affordable housing led to the homeless population...

      There's lots of "affordable housing" aka Byzantine subsidy schemes here in Seattle. What there isn't is consistent enforcement against encampments, littering, and shoplifting
