      <![CDATA[Coming out of the First big change budget, the Mayor and council are looking good. King County is at the very fiscal edge, not Seattle.<br />
<br />
Trash about all you want, the next election will be about the local economy - and thus far some cuts, more money for food - and 30 mill still stashed in the bank, Seattle is still standing.<br />
<br />
Keep on trashing, cause there was a giant boom for ten years. Oh, it was so horrible to have so many people with so much money flowing all directions.<br />
<br />
Hungry children will haunt America. The horrid Mayor and horrid Council just pumped millions more  into food bank support.<br />
<br />
Oh well, I want to talk about the style of new houses not being built any more.  Lala land does not elect anyone.<br />
<br />
If Vulcan keeps building during the depression, good old Paul will be on the cover of Time. <br />
<br />
And Nickels makes more green sense than the rest put together, composting alone will not save he planet. Don't tell Conlin. Conlin will run against Nickels. He is lusting.... in his own way. <br />

      <![CDATA[Let me guess. Nickels going to say that as an aspiring third term incumbent, who has spent more money than any mayor in Seattle history on his campaigns, and who has always been in the pocket of the real estate arm of one of the wealthiest men on the planet, that he's all about CHANGE.

      <![CDATA[Yes! The other candidate.  Yes, Seattle is AWFUL. I hate it here. It is the worst city. I would be much happier in Tacoma, or LA, or Detroit. We are unsafe, there are no jobs, and..well, it must be bad because I am incapable of ever supporting anything positive, or that has actually done something.

Can't you live in, uh, pretty much any other American city?  I recommend Provo, Utah.  $150k houses.
