Okay. I prefer to vote for people who make it so, and live in places where, that social contract has better terms for me. We've seen what the opposite policies lead to: Seattle, LA, Portland. I would never step foot in those cities again, and everyone knows why.


I guess those places will have to find a way to manage without you, then.


Seattle and Portland will find themselves in a Detroit situation in the coming decades. Remote work means people start to realize they don't need to step over human feces in their city to earn a wage. I don't foresee this decay being stopped.
