So I&#x27;ve lived in Seattle my whole life. In the last 5 years the locally operated grocery store near my house was torn down and replaced with a Whole Foods while my favorite movie theater (the only theater I&#x27;ve ever known to provide a sound-proofed room for small children) has become a 21+ reserve-your-seats $80 movie night ordeal. I don&#x27;t really have a problem with new people moving in and some of my best friends work at Amazon, but you can&#x27;t really classify all these &quot;new amenities and attractions&quot; as a positive, most of them are just overpriced crap targeted to a demographic I don&#x27;t belong to. It&#x27;s not like Seattle was bereft of services and entertainment before you showed up.
