This "feel-good" piece, as you put it, was merely a list of VERY subjective opinions from various people on why they thought people move to and from Seattle. Many people move AWAY from Seattle when they realize how bloated government taxes, regulations, and costs are-- and saying so doesn't make it "political BS."   Seattle is a good fit for you, however: instead of refuting what was said in my post, you instead turned to your feelings, which is the reason Seattle has so many of the bloated government costs they have today. Instead of asking "does this DO good," your local government asks, "Does this FEEL good?"  That's pretty much what it came down to for you, Andy: your "feelings" were hurt, and you wouldn't stand for that, would you.    Signed, An Alaskan who could not care less that you live in Seattle.
