Kicking Mustang on youtube recently put a trash ghillie suit to work in one of his videos. (urban airsoft) Works surprisingly well.
Silo entertainment did it better it seems, I had watched silo's video at release though, so maybe I'm considering it better because of that.
I couldn't remember if it was Silo or Mustang... Went with Mustang because of the KMCS, but I was wrong. :/
Is it that bad now? I remember it differently
Not even a little bit
It's pretty clean. I moved here a few years ago and have never gotten the feeling that it's dirty. Around the homeless camps though it can be a little rough though.
Been here 15 years now... By comparison to 2008, Seattle is a wreck. The turning point was around 2015 when Amazon decided to make it their permanent HQ. Pre vs post 2015 rent prices are insane. I had a top-floor waterfront place on Lake Washington for $850 until 2015.
I wouldn't necessarily put that on Amazon coming in. That's been the trend in all cities over the past 10 years. Even suburban areas are feeling it. Hopefully remote work pushes up populations in smaller towns so other non-remote growth can occur in more affordable areas.
Our population increased by tens of thousands in the first year as a result of the announcement by Amazon that Seattle would be the permanent HQ. Following that, tons of cheaply made, overpriced housing was put up all over the city. Businesses were priced out and knocked down to make way for the shitty people-boxes.
Seattle is a geographically constrained area that was already at capacity. Blue collar workers and service industry folk were priced out and pushed into surrounding areas. Traffic and congestion increased. Homelessness skyrocketed.
I would agree that the issue is widespread, but in this case, correlation and causation line up.
Sold.
It's rough everywhere, I know. Shit like this article discusses doesn't help. Austin, TX was also reeling from the use of software like this. I'm sure other places are as well.
Not really. I've lived here for ~30 years and certain spots are better, some are worse.
I was gonna say, this would definitely work in Baltimore.
Idk just shitposting memes I find
Not sure about Seattle, but Bellevue and Redmond are nice. Great Asian food there too.
No. Conservatives just love to shit on West Coast cities.
Cardboard commando
The ents of the city make the buildings grow strong.
