Seattle is expensive because Boeing, Microsoft, Starbucks, Amazon, and I think even Google are based or have headquarters there.
That means a lot more big money flowing into the area which is how Seattle supports the huge homeless population. Let's be honest there would be homeless even if every house was 100k.

You are ABSOLUTELY 100% CORRECT And if you have a degree, there is certainly a lot of money to be made here.
Dishwashers here make 15-17 an hour But the trade off is, you'd have to live about an hour bus ride away to find a place you could afford on that kind of income
I grew up poor, I never had that luxury.

That's totally fine. It's not all about money. I mean, I have an engineering degree, but I choose to crawl around under houses in dig in the dirt for probably less money. If you choose a low paying career then you have to expect to have a lower end type of life as far as materialistic things go. If you could make enough money to have a nice house with a car and dirt bikes by flipping burgers or pushing carts then everybody would do that. Why would anybody go to school, or learn and be competitive?
If you want to live downtown in the nice apartment where it is convenient then you have to compete with the tech workers and the other high paying jobs. If you own property then you want a nice neighborhood with rising property values. Instead of "gentrification" you will have a neighborhood with lots of abandoned houses and crime, oh yeah and there will be art and all the artists will live there, right alongside the gangs. All the waiters and stock-boys will have the best accommodations.

I worked my way up started in the dishpit, started doing fryer and pantry, learned pizzas, then did burger/Sandwiches and steaks, then I moved onto italian food and fine dining....
The reason I chose this is.... THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN LEARN IN CULINARY SCHOOL YOU CANT LEARN ON THE JOB AND GET PAID FOR.
Most nice restaurants would rather hire a guy with 10 years line experience than some dipshit who just got out of culinary school, cant multitask or handle stress well
The money I make Isnt bad, id definitely be able to make a pretty comfortable living anywhere else...

I could literally work in any restaurant I want its just.... I have to be passionate about the food.
If I dont genuinely believe the food is good, my passion suffers.

The righteous should evacuate the cities ASAP. By the time the canary sings it will turn to chaos real quick and it will be too late. Save up money NOW and GTFO.
Or you can embrace the chaos and become a Canaanite and worship Baal.

Bet money tribes like the Amish will be almost unaffected; cuz they long ago escaped slavery and debt and engaged in independence and self-sustainability and communion with nature and spirit vs selling their sole for gold in the city.
Folks and communities in rural areas that grow food, and raise livestock, and have ammunition, food, medicine stored up will be among the few that survive what may come.

I agree with Oden. Folks around where I live hunt wild boar. The cities are the cancer and the pollution and what is destroying the nations and the world. They are founded on greed and dependence and debt. Cities are evil yo. They can be fun, but whenever I visited a big city in particular it just felt evil.
Save money, by rural land, grow food, don't just look at it as prepping for the worst case scenario; look at it as escaping slavery and debt and embracing independence and self-sustainability.

I agree with a lot of what you are saying..... I would love to own a piece of land out in the country some day. But the thing is.....
In rural places, there just arent that many opportunities.
It would take a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time to do that working at a mill or warehouse and making 12-14 dollars an hour
I am at peace with my god...
Theres a good chance 5 or 10 or 15 years from now...... not much will change.
That whole prepper mentality can be very dangerous...
Its good to be aware of politics and stuff like that.
I grew up around commune hippies....
Just dont let it consume your life

Word up. I do my best to balance; I got out surfing and go visit the beach at least once or twice a week.
But yo it's not as difficult to buy land as you think. You just got to be willing to sacrifice a lot of fun while you're saving money for a few years and then be willing to live a little third-world style for a few years after you buy the land. Check out real estate sites for cheap land. Also there are some companies and individuals that have really cheap monthly payments (though you do end up paying a lot more for the land in the long run vs buying it out right)

"right alongside the gangs."
There are gangs everyyyyyyyyywhere.
Its funny.... In seattle, if you ask any white person how safe the city is they will tell you its very very safe except for downtown....
The black people will tell you about all sorts of grimy shit thats going on.
Ive ran into a lot of those MS migets here, they keep to themselves unless you carry yourself like an idiot...
The guys you always hear about getting killed, are the guys that are deep into heroin and cocaine bullshit....
In my experience whenever someone has been executed by gunfire, it was typically because they stole from someone....... They were taking money out of some shady dudes pockets..... or retaliation
Those guys dont want to be killing tax payers, you start killing tax payers, then the FBI starts snooping around and nobody makes anyone money and people start getting locked up

So weird seeing downtown from the viewpoint of a camera...
Great post... The tent cities here are pretty insane.....
Ever heard of "Vehicle ranchers"?????
They park garbage vehicles around the city and rent them out to homeless people...
Cheaper and more accessible than those bed bug infested junkie motels up on aurora..................
A few years ago they found a "crack tent" around one of the underpasses in the international district with $50,000 in 1s and 5s and Multiple ozs of crack...
Anyone ever heard of "SEATTLE POLICE BLOTTER?"
IF YOU ARE A LOCAL RESIDENT CHECK IT OUT EVERY NOW AND THEN, YOU MIGHT REALIZE THAT.... Your community is dirtier than it seems...
Seattle police make $100,000 a year

"19.50 an hour, the rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in seattle, would eat up half of their income....."
Thank you for posting that, case in point
I dont like talking about how much money I make.....
If your rent is more than 1/3 of your income, you're hustling backwards
