I think Capitol Hill is the most glaring change to me in the past 5 years. One of the neatest and most unique neighborhoods in the city, in a way iconic to how Seattle was seen is now filled with brand new condos and multi-use buildings. For god sakes there have been gay-hate crimes on Broadway.<p>Yes, tons of new development has happened in SLU, but that area wasn&#x27;t much of an established neighborhood to live in before, so it doesn&#x27;t bother me as much.<p>Seattle is quickly losing any remaining &quot;grit&quot; and that as someone who has always called it home that is seriously depressing. I&#x27;m in the Central District which to some degree feels more like a Capitol Hill (except with black people!) but I imagine it is only a matter of time before the condos invade here as well.
