<i>Cap Hill used to be a gay &#x2F; artist &#x2F; low income district of Seattle but is increasingly wealthy tech workers. I don&#x27;t see this as a bad thing but obviously some people do.</i><p>I think this comparison misses the point. The think the main complain with the change is just that, change. Capitol Hill used to feel much more eclectic and diverse. Today, personally, I don&#x27;t feel that sentiment.<p>FWIW, I&#x27;ve lived in the neighborhood for ~7 years.
