Weird how he only mentions the "war in Europe" without even a peep about the Pacific. Seattle was far more instrumental in the outcome in the Pacific and East Asia than just only Europe.

A lot of the exact people interviewed and mentalities displayed are exactly what have held Seattle back when it comes to housing and inequality. The whole recounting of Seattle's history lauds the ability to "Move mountains" and grow exponentially during the gold rush and build the Space Needle in a year, but when it comes to the current Seattle, it's comments like "the wrong rate of growth" and "1-2 story buildings". Modern Seattle leaders and urban planners are more concerned with building shadows than actually densifying the city in a way that both matches Seattle's past no-holds-barred approach and actually makes a dent in housing a rental costs. More housing equals cheaper housing. Super simple supply and demand equation.

also, showing news footage of Houston flooding when talking about rain in Seattle epitomizes why this is not a good documentary.

@jon9103 3 ай бұрын

There is some truth to that but there already is a lot of new construction and scaling up the rate of construction isn't a silver bullet.

I’ve been born and raised in Seattle great city for the outdoors,and good economy, but homelessness is high and the constant rain can definitely take an affect of newcomers not that it rains a a lot when it does but like the video said half the year or more is spent raining or without sun and that figure goes up more if you just count overcast.

i recommend taking a trip out for maybe 4-5 days and explore not just downtown but other neighborhoods as well. the natural landscape of seattle is beautiful and enough reason for me to want to move. but seattle also has a strong drug addiction/homelessness issue that is much more apparent compared to eastern cities, it may come as a shock to some. therefore, if you want to live here, it'd be best to come out and see which neighborhood speaks to you the best

13:26 The B17 contract almost got cancelled because, the first test flight for the Army Air Corp, crashed soon after takeoff. Was not...a good look. Turns out, the flight crew forgot to remove the control surface locks, used while the aircraft are on the ground. The modern preflight check list, and checklists in general, became a thing because of that very test flight. Pretty amazing when you think about it. Another interesting story was, B17s randomly just exploded mid flight. Engineers struggled to figure out why bombers that weren't attacked were just falling out of the sky for no apparent reason. Well, there was. I recommend looking into it but ..hint...had to do with the ball turret. Sadly, it was solved to late for the flight crews, 10 or 11 at the time....dead. Amazing aircraft though. Yet sadly, the 8th Army Aircorp lost more soldiers than any other unit in WW2. They really took it on the chin. Crazy brave! Mad respect!

I was born in Seattle in 1960. First year Generation-X, I’ve worked since i was 9 picking strawberries & by the age of 54 after working at Boeing, it was pretty obvious i could not work any more. Seattle as well as all local surrounding communities and state government has totally failed me & others when it comes to housing. We have been told its complicated but its really not complicated at all. They saw the jobs coming, they saw the people moving here & refused to plan for anyone except the businesses. A job means nothing if you have no place to live & when you have neither you have no purpose to live. People claim they have empathy but do nothing to prove it. Ive worked my entire life building this city & in return when my body can not work anymore & housing costs, inflation have gone well beyond a normal retirement plan, Seattle has chewed me up & spit me out. Its incredibly shocking & yeah it rips my heart. I did not plan for such cruelty from my city. But it is what it is.

Seattle was the most beautiful, livable city up into the 2000s. It was as they say innovative on top of its ideal climate and locality to natural resources, including Alaska. But since 2010 its just all downhill, living off the legacy and what was built before. The people who run Seattle now couldn't successfully run a donut shop. But they can wax poetically about inequality and the need for more funding etc. I used to go to a mall down town on Friday nights around 2009. Jam packed with people shopping, seeing movies (bumped into Bill Gates more than once; it was that popular). Restaurants, arcades and other malls packed to the gills. Now, its DEAD quiet. Its unbelievable. And the people and policies responsible get no blame; their party still gets all the votes. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

This video glamorizes corporations and millionaires without making any connection to the homeless and environmental issues. Why does the camera need to constantly jump around and focus in and out so often, it’s exhausting to watch. Even a photo of indigenous people flies by split seconds, doing all that focusing and jumping, no respect.

@IonVladutu Ай бұрын

Seattle is terrible. It’s unaffordable and still getting more expensive, the “culture” is a façade, the streets anywhere in downtown are dangerous with the cops doing nothing about it, public transit is 30 years behind and slow to expand, and the residents are largely unapproachable and awkward (aka the Seattle Freeze). Don’t move here, you’ll regret it.
