Seattle’s Housing Market Is Imploding as the “Starbucks Effect” Takes Hold

"...Seattle’s experience mirrors patterns in other major Democratic strongholds where ideology trumps pragmatism. Companies vote with their feet, seeking environments where rule of law prevails and success isn’t penalized. Residents follow, seeking affordability and security. The resulting vacancies and price corrections represent market correction, not crisis—though the human cost of policy failure remains real for those left behind...."

Thanks JAP. A lot of politicians seem to have graduated from the "Alfred E. Neuman" university. So long as they get theirs that's all that matters to them.

What a waste of a State.

Thanks Sully. I hate to see such degradation and willful destruction from 'mostly peaceful protests.'

What a buncha crap this article is.
It's hardly a collapse when the avg house price goes from $907k to $859k.
That's still way overpriced.
People always confuse corrections with crashes.
Fake news crap article.

Thanks Think. My take on the article was to show a trend to hopefully wake blue cities. I would be more interested in housing prices of more realistically priced homes as to what is happening to those communities. They're likely going to see tax increases to compensate for losses from decline in average prices.
