100% agree. I'd also like to add that the main complaint I see on the "bad" Seattle subreddit is "strawman!" but the joke's on them--I'VE BEEN USING ACTUAL NIMBY QUOTES FOR YEARS

"Gettin Stuff Done" #seattle #doomloop #STM

MAYOR WILSON: We should raise some tax money to make bus service better
ROB SAKA: Yeah! we could use that money for more cops!
DEB JUAREZ: We should spend the bus money on sidewalks!
ROB SAKA: [looking askance] oh and every year we should get to use any unspent money on some of our…pet projects
BOB KETTLE: actually we should CUT transit service
MARITZA RIVERA: I agree with Bob–but that doesn’t mean we don’t all love buses!

Tough choice!

"Shrinking" #seattle #doomloop

PERSON: First we win the super bowl and then we host the World Cup to rave reviews!
GUY: What is this unfamiliar feeling of…civic pride?

CHOE: were here to remind people Seattle is still full of crime and filth! SUAREZ: 12th and Jackson!
GUY: Aha, and you’re shrinking because people have stopped believing in the power of fear?
SUAREZ: Bingo
PERSON: Did you know we’ve also got the highest light rail ridership in the US?
CHOE: [shrinking] Agh!
SUAREZ: .[shrinking] North Aurora!

FROM THE VAULT: KIRO Commenters Support Group (Aug 2022)

TOBY: Hi I'm Toby and I'm angry about Seattle
GROUP: Hi TOby
TOBY: Today I left a comment on a KIRO News article claiming I've lived in Seattle my entire life
-and that it's the worst I've ever seen
-But actually I onlu lived in Bothell for a year in the early 80s. I've been in Pasco ever since
-However, that summer I *did* visit Seattle three times to see the Mariners
-I'm ashamed of my lie but also furious about the total destruction of this once-great city
-We've got to stop communists and BLM antifa extremists
-from ruining the place where I spent approximately ten hours in my mid-20s
[overcome with emotion] Everything was just so beautiful and perfect then!
GROUP: We're here for you Toby (You're not alone)
