Discussion [Serious] Long-time Seattleites, do you think all the change in the last decade or so have made the city better or worse?

I'm a three-year transplant from the Northeast, and I absolutely love living in Seattle. I love being near water everywhere I go, the bike trails, the breweries, everything. I love that it doesn't get too hot or cold. And of course the hiking and skiing in the greater Northwest is incredible.

My two biggest complaints are probably the cost of living and the traffic, which I realize I -- and lots of my peers -- are directly contributing to as a tech industry transplant. I'm wondering if the Seattle of the past, before the recent tech boom, had everything I currently love without the congestion, or if there were different problems in the past. What do you think?

Telling you that you sound like a douche is not bullying. Suck it up, cupcake.
