This is such a bad/confusing take. Democrats have been in charge of Seattle for decades! If we have a housing shortage it's because of policies we, as Democrats, decided to put in place.
What we need is to change our policies to let developers build they housing we say we want.
Seattle has one of the worst housing crises in the country. I see it every time Iβm home in my district.
People working full-time jobs who canβt afford rent. Teachers, nurses, and transit workers who canβt live in the city they serve. Families on housing assistance waiting
You can't say "tax the rich" and then turn around and say "I don't care if they leave". Those two things are in direct opposition. It's an incoherent postion. If they leave, then you can't tax them!
We canβt let the alt left talking point βfuck them, leaveβ take hold in California like it has in Washington
After the billionaires leave, the bureaucrats turn their sights on the savings of the middle class
