“It’s good to be in something from the ground floor, I came too late for that, I know. But lately, I’m getting the feeling that I came in at the end.” This is very powerful writing that came from the introduction of Sopranos. It’s amazing a series 20 years ago could represent the current political mindset today.

I remember Seattle as a kid. It felt so nice and welcoming. Then we had growth, and there were times you genuinely didn't know if the guy you were talking to was homeless or beyond rich. Still don't, because there are a lot of homeless millionaires in the city.
I've seen videos of the world fair there. The monorail passes empty land that is now apartments where friends live. I didn't even recognize the park Chas took place in.
It's difficult to accept that what I called home isn't there anymore and heading toward Detroit. A city lower on the hand, but feels like the middle finger.
I am also from that side of the state. The constant growth in the decades have changed the culture, the people and the environment of Washington. The woods I grew up in, an hour away from Seattle, are now all apartments and condominiums. It is insane how much Washington has changed.
Oregon was supposed to filter out the Californians, but too many started moving.
Idaho is getting that way too due to Californians and East Coasters moving there. I lived there for a few years and the growth was even faster than WA's in the greater Boise area. Coeur d'alene has been growing too. Idaho jumped huge in terms of prices for everything in just a short time frame.
