    The tech sector is responsible for the huge influx of people moving to the state, Seattle specifically. Our infrastructure was not able to handle that influx and is only now catching up, 2 decades later.

    Tech came here because of our archaic tax laws that prevented an income tax from going through, I have zero empathy that this solution impacts them disproportionately.

      That’s some drawbridge level thinking right there. Are you not also part of the problem? Because they arrived after you… they’re the problem? People moved there for jobs, same as anyone else who moved there. (For what it’s worth I don’t live in Seattle)
